Jobs we see up the Mountains
Mountains homes have their own set of problems. These are the ones we see most often up there.
- Hot water in cold winters. Winter is when tired systems give out, and a system that coped down on the plains can struggle up the hill.
- Stormwater on sloping blocks. Steep blocks send a lot of water downhill fast. Blocked downpipes, failing soakage pits and water pooling against the house are common after heavy rain.
- Properties not on the sewer. Some Mountains homes are not connected to the sewer and rely on an onsite wastewater system, so drainage work has to suit that system and the council's rules.
- Old clay drains and tree roots. Older homes often have clay sewer lines, and the big established trees up there find every crack.
Recent Blue Mountains jobs
Winmalee, May 2025. A customer asked us to check where a stormwater downpipe went and what state it was in. A camera inspection showed the line was full of dirt. We jetted it clear and found it ran about 17 metres to an old gravel soakage pit behind the shed. We recommended re-running the stormwater to a new, larger pit with a reinforced cover.
Winmalee, June 2025. On a property that is not on the sewer, we dug and installed a new absorption trench for the onsite wastewater system. We excavated to the specified size, laid drainage aggregate and perforated pipe, backfilled and left the site clean, all to the council's requirements.
Warrimoo, July 2026. Mid-winter, a hot water system had failing pressure valves. We replaced the pressure limiting valve and the pressure relief valve to make it safe. The tank was six years old, so we told the owner what to expect and when to plan a replacement.
Glenbrook, late 2025. A camera inspection of an old sewer line showed it heading somewhere unexpected. We dug where the camera was and found the sewer running along the fence line to the back boundary, not where anyone thought it was. We backfilled, cleaned up and re-sealed a toilet base that had been disturbed.
