In more detail
The three we get called about most
Sewer repairs
On a steep block the sewer line can be long and hard to reach, with the inspection opening a long way down the garden.
We plan the access before we arrive, camera the line, and reline where we can so no trench is cut down a slope.
Sewer repairsRoofs and gutters
Roof and gutter jobs are a bigger share of our Longueville work than in most suburbs, which suits the size of the houses and the trees around them.
We repair leaks, replace worn gutters and flashings, and make sure the downpipes can carry a storm's worth of water off a large roof.
Roofing and guttersDrainage
Water coming down a slope collects behind retaining walls and against the house if nothing carries it away.
We install and repair stormwater pits, lines and drains along the base of walls so the water goes where it should.

A typical job here
A sewer line down a steep Longueville block
The problem
The lower bathroom kept backing up, and the inspection opening was halfway down a steep, terraced garden.
What we did
We carried the gear down, cleared the line and put the camera through. A section had cracked where the ground had moved, so we relined it from the opening above it.
The result
The line is sealed, and the garden terraces were not touched.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Longueville
Longueville is a small, quiet peninsula in the Lane Cove Council area, with water on most sides and large houses on sloping blocks, many running down to the river. Trees are everywhere, and plenty of homes have retaining walls and terraced gardens.
Everyday repairs lead our Longueville records, then sewer work, roofing, blocked drains and hot water.
On a sloping block, what goes wrong is usually water: sewer lines that crack where the ground moves, stormwater that has nowhere to go, and gutters that cannot cope with a large roof in a storm.
