The Importance of Proper Drainage

On any residential property, whether it’s an established home or a new construction project, a well-designed drainage system is crucial. It’s essential for managing water flow, flood prevention, and avoiding structural damage.

Without a fully functional proper drainage plan in place, excess water can cause soil erosion, hidden leaks, and severe blockages in drainage pipes. While Metropolitan Plumbing will always explore the full range of effective drainage solutions (e.g. drain repairs, pipe relining) to restore efficiency to your property, sometimes professional excavation services become the only viable option.

Investing in quality drainage infrastructure prevents future issues like slow drainage, water accumulation, and foul odours. It helps to redirect surface water, protect surrounding structures and guarantees a long-lasting and effective drainage system for your home.

The Drain Excavation Process

Drain excavation is an essential step in dealing with damaged or collapsed pipes that are simply beyond repair. If your damaged pipes need replacing, our licensed drainage excavation plumbers use heavy machinery while following strict safety measures and local environmental regulations.

The process follows several key steps to ensure effective drainage solutions and long-term plumbing reliability.

1. Site assessment – Our licensed plumbers begin with a thorough initial assessment, using a drain camera inspection to locate the blockage and assess the condition of the underground pipes.
2. Clearing the blockage – If possible, we use a hydro jet drain cleaner or electric eel to remove the obstruction.
3. Evaluating repair options – If the pipework remains intact, pipe relining may work as an option. This creates a like-new, strong pipe inside the existing pipe and does away with the need for excavation.
4. Excavation and pipe replacement – If repair isn’t possible, the next step involves digging trenches to expose and replace the damaged pipes.
5. Final installation and clean up – Once we’ve installed the new plumbing, we restore the site to pristine condition.

Our licensed, local plumbers follow strict safety measures and local environmental regulations, using heavy machinery where necessary. With our expertise and access to excavators up to 4 tonnes, Metropolitan ensures a smooth, professional process that results in a long-lasting drainage system.
