Case Study: Solving a Blocked Stormwater Pipe for Fiona in Shortland
Introduction:
Fiona, a resident of Shortland (2307), recently found herself facing a major plumbing issue. She noticed that her stormwater pipe was blocked and causing water to overflow onto her property. Concerned about potential damage to her home, she immediately began searching for a reliable plumbing service in the Newcastle area. After browsing through various options, she came across Reactive Plumbing & Electrical’s ad on the Newcastle Magnet and decided to give them a call.
Assigned Technician:
Upon receiving Fiona’s call, our team at Reactive Plumbing & Electrical quickly assessed the situation and assigned Adam, one of our experienced service technicians, to handle the job. With years of experience under his belt and extensive knowledge in handling similar issues, we knew Adam would be able to provide an effective solution for Fiona’s blocked stormwater pipe.
The Job Description & Solution:
Adam arrived at Fiona’s property promptly and began inspecting the blocked stormwater pipe using CCTV technology. He discovered that there was significant blockage caused by debris buildup as well as collapsing pipework in the council area. To restore flow and prevent any further damage or blockages from occurring, Adam used high-pressure jet blasting techniques to clear out all debris from within the pipes.
However, upon further inspection with CCTV cameras, it was evident that some sections of pipework were beyond repair due to severe collapse. In order to fully rectify this issue and ensure long-term functionality of the stormwater system, Adam proposed additional works which included exposing the collapsed section of pipework up until its connection point with Kurb outlet.
The following steps were taken by Adam:
– Removal of collapsing pipework up until its connection point with Kurb outlet.
– Installation of brand new PVC piping up until Kurb outlet.
– Backfilling of the pipework with appropriate fill.
– Testing and commissioning of the new pipework to ensure proper functionality.
– Leaving the site clean and tidy.
