What we see in Oakleigh homes
Postwar brick and weatherboard homes on regular blocks make up most of the residential area, with interwar stock closer to the centre. Apartment and townhouse development has concentrated around the station and Eaton Mall. A light industrial fringe sits on the eastern side.
Ground conditions in Oakleigh
Clay subsoil with sandier pockets, largely flat. Drainage depends on maintained fall, and the older parts of the network carry considerably more than they were designed for after decades of infill.
Common plumbing problems in Oakleigh
These are the faults we genuinely attend more often in Oakleigh than elsewhere in Melbourne.
Grease from the Eaton Mall precinct
Where residential drainage joins lines serving food premises, grease build-up causes recurring blockages. Jetting clears it, but the durable answer is establishing whether the connection should have been separated. We camera to find out.
Postwar copper and galvanised failing
Supply pipework from the 1950s and 60s now pinholes and corrodes. Pressure loss across the house and stains appearing on plaster from cavity leaks are the usual presentations.
Infill development on old connections
Apartment and townhouse infill frequently ties into connections sized for detached houses. Slow drainage across a whole development points to capacity rather than a blockage in any one dwelling.
