Septic Tank Maintenance
Replacing a septic system can be costly, so periodic care is crucial. As a system can last from 25-30 years on most residential properties, having a tank pumped out every five years is a cost-effective way of keeping it working properly.
Of course, this might have to be done more often if you experience overflow or blockages. We can assess your system and ensure it operates efficiently, potentially helping to avoid major problems.
Vacuum Excavation Works
By using high-pressure water or air for soft excavation, we can reduce the need for manual digging and can keep workers safe from potential trench cave-ins. Vacuum excavation sucks soil through a hose, holding it in a debris tank for disposal or backfilling the hole.
Sewer Cleaning Services
Sewer lines should be cleaned every 18-22 months in order for them to last 50-100 years. We scour pipes clean with high-pressure water jetting and then vacuum up the material which could cause a blockage. This restores normal sewer flow and regular maintenance will ensure your system lasts a lifetime.
Water Service Replacement
As most people receive water to their homes via an underground pipe, it is not surprising you don’t think about it until the flow stops. However, while your water corporation is responsible for the main line, the property owner is responsible for repairing or replacing the connection.
SDA Plumbing can check out your worn out or damaged pipes, advise on the best solution and carry out the necessary work. The same goes for your water meter. You are responsible for the upkeep of the meter and the area around it, including ensuring it is able to be read and maintained. But remember, only a water corporation staff member or a licensed plumber can install or carry out any repairs, so contact us to discuss your needs.
SDA Plumbing can also help with your hot water service. We can advise on, install and maintain compliant electric, gas fired and even solar systems.

FAQ
What types of plumbing issues are considered general plumbing?
General plumbing typically covers everyday plumbing needs such as leaking taps, blocked drains, running toilets, low water pressure, burst pipes and minor pipe repairs. It can also include installing or replacing fixtures like taps, toilets and water connections. These issues often affect the usability or efficiency of a property rather than large-scale infrastructure. Addressing general plumbing problems early can help prevent more serious damage or water wastage over time.
When is CCTV pipe inspection useful?
CCTV pipe inspections are useful when drains repeatedly block, emit odours or show signs of slow drainage without an obvious cause. The camera allows underground pipes to be assessed without excavation, helping identify cracks, collapses or tree root intrusion. This approach reduces guesswork and unnecessary digging. It is often used before repairs, property purchases or larger plumbing works.
What situations require vacuum excavation instead of traditional digging?
Vacuum excavation is commonly used when working near underground services such as water, sewer, gas or electrical lines. The process uses high-pressure air or water and vacuum suction to safely expose services without damaging them. This method reduces the risk of accidents and service interruptions. It is especially useful on active sites or in built-up areas where precision is critical.
