Case Study: Solving a Blocked Toilet for Maree in Mermaid Waters

Introduction

Maree, a resident of Mermaid Waters (4218), was facing a frustrating issue with her toilet. She found us through our Gold Coast Magnet ad and decided to give us a call.

Assigned Technician

Our experienced technician Chad was assigned to the job. With his expertise and knowledge, we knew he would be able to solve the problem efficiently.

The Job Description & Solution

Upon arrival at Maree’s home, Chad investigated the blocked toilet by using jetting and CCTV from the gulley. After thorough inspection, he found that there was no blockage in the toilet line itself. However, he noticed that there was water being held underneath the garden shed which was affecting airflow.

To solve this issue, Chad removed the toilet and CCTV sewer line from the gulley and installed a new AAV (Air Admittance Valve). He then tested the toilet again but still found an issue with airflow. Upon further investigation using cameras, he located a fitting holding water just before the main line.

To fix this problem completely, dig up works were required. Our team removed all tools and materials from under the garden shed and hand excavated 1.5 meters deep into the ground. They cut out a section of pipework and used CCTV to check if it connected properly to the main line.

After ensuring everything was in order, they supplied and installed new pipework bringing it up to surface level. The hole was backfilled carefully while making sure not to damage any surrounding areas such as pavers or plants. Once completed, all tools were packed up neatly back into place inside Maree’s garden shed.
