Clay Under the Violet Town Streets

The first sewers are the weak link

Tingira Heights started life as Violet Town and took its current name in 1965, and the main road still carries the old one. The first streets were sewered in clay just as that era was ending, and the reactive clay soil has since pushed those collars out of line, so a repeat choke tends to come back to one tired length of pipe.

Stepped blocks send water downhill

Census figures count 728 dwellings, with separate houses at 95.2 per cent, and many lots drop in steps down the slope to the lower ground by the lake. Downpipes that were never given a proper fall can dump runoff onto the lot below, and a summer storm finds every one of them.

Hot water of one vintage

Homes in the original estate have already replaced a cylinder or two, and units installed in the same years tend to give out in the same years.

The bushland presses in

Eucalypts on the edge of the nature reserve, and older street trees around closes such as Sanctuary Grove, go looking for water in the old sewer joints whenever it turns dry.

Where the Work Sits

Drains and sewers

Displaced clay collars, root mats and silted low pits on the stepped grades, cleared and filmed, through the blocked drains hub.

Hot water

Repairs and replacements for the same-age cylinders, with a loan tank while a new unit arrives, through the hot water hub.

Gas fitting

Cooktops, heaters, BBQ points and leak work, done by a licensed gas fitter, on the gas fitting hub.

Emergencies

Burst flexi hoses, stormwater overflows and a cylinder that quits on a cold morning, handled at any hour through the emergency plumber hub.

Tingira Heights Questions

Do you clear the old clay sewers in the first streets?

Yes. The first streets here were laid in clay pipe in the 1960s, and the reactive soil has been moving those joints ever since. We clear the line and film it if the choke returns, so the repair goes on the exact length that is failing.

Can you replace a hot water unit that fails on the ridge?

Yes. We are Available 24/7, and a dead cylinder is booked like any urgent job. If the new unit has to be ordered in, a loan tank keeps hot water running at the house until it arrives, and the fixed figure is agreed before anyone picks up a tool.
