Beside the Nepean River

Emu Plains sits on the western bank of the Nepean River, at the foot of the Blue Mountains. It was first called Emu Island, because the river at times flooded the plains, and a flood washed away the Nepean River bridge in 1857.

Council has completed a floodplain risk management study covering Emu Plains, Emu Heights and Leonay. Whether your property is affected is a question for Council, through a section 10.7 certificate or its Duty Planner.

What a plumber can tell you is practical. After heavy rain, a cracked or root-filled drain can overflow or back up, so it pays to have a problem drain looked at before wet weather, not during it. See blocked drains, or pipe relining for a damaged line.

A town laid out in 1832

The village of Emu was laid out in 1832, and its streets still follow the old convict farm layout. It was proclaimed a town in 1885, and historic houses such as Emu Hall, built between 1851 and 1854, overlook the river.

In a place that old, properties often carry plumbing from several eras joined together. We look at the whole run before quoting, and leak detection can find hidden leaks in older pipework. You then get a fixed price before we start.

How relining works

If a camera inspection finds a cracked or root-damaged pipe, relining is often an option. We clean the pipe, insert a resin-soaked liner and cure it, which creates a new pipe inside the old one. Because there is little or no digging, gardens and driveways are mostly left as they are.

Relining suits sewer and stormwater pipes. We will tell you honestly whether it suits your pipe or whether it needs replacing.
