South into potato country

Thorpdale, postcode 3835, sits south of Trafalgar in Baw Baw Shire, in rolling country known for potatoes and larger rural blocks. Pipe runs are often long, rainwater tanks are common, and septic systems still serve many houses. From Trafalgar we allow extra time on site when a long driveway, a tank and pump, or a septic lid is part of the job.

Tell us when you book if the house is on a larger block, if you have a tank tied into the house, or if the drain is a long way from the street. Ring 03 8658 7379.

Tanks, pumps and septic

A tank that supplies the house should be arranged so tank water cannot contaminate a town supply if one is also present. We check valves and any required backflow protection. On septic, we camera the house drain and tell you honestly whether the job is a plumbing fault or a tanker visit.

Drains and long services

Long water services and long drains have more joints and more opportunity for roots, dips and hidden leaks. We camera and locate rather than digging at the first wet patch. Acoustic leak detection is especially useful here.

Booking a visit

A photo of the tank, the pump, the pit or the wet area helps. On site we inspect, explain and quote a fixed price. Emergencies are taken on the same number.

Trafalgar pipes at a glance

Trafalgar sits on the Princes Highway in Baw Baw Shire, postcode 3824, between Yarragon and Moe, with farmland, weatherboard houses and larger rural blocks spreading toward Thorpdale, Willow Grove, Narracan and Trafalgar East. Many homes here run a rainwater tank as well as, or instead of, a town supply, and a good number still have a septic system rather than a sewer. Water services can be long runs down a gravel drive, and earthenware or PVC drains pick up roots from paddock and roadside trees.

We use cameras, locators, pressure tests and acoustic leak detection so we can see the pipework before anyone cuts a wall or opens a trench in a paddock lawn.
