Common plumbing problems in Caulfield South
These are the faults we genuinely attend more often in Caulfield South than elsewhere in Melbourne.
Elster Creek catchment flooding
This catchment floods in intense downpours, and water backs up through the lowest fixtures in affected properties. Non-return valves and correctly sized pits are worth considering here specifically, and we assess for both rather than treating a flood as bad luck.
Interwar pipework past its life
Galvanised supply and terracotta drainage in the older homes are both decades beyond design life. Weak pressure across the house and recurring drain blockages usually trace to one or the other.
Subdivision increasing hard surface
Replacing houses and gardens with townhouses and driveways sends considerably more run-off into a system designed for detached homes with lawns. In a flat catchment that shows up as surcharging pits and pooling water.
