Stormwater Drainage Mount Eliza

Older Mount Eliza homes often have copper pipes that may need updating for modern stormwater connections. The original drainage systems from this era weren't designed for today's higher rainfall intensities. Tree root intrusion is common in established gardens, and connections between old copper and new PVC systems require careful sealing to prevent leaks.

Sandy soil drains quickly but can shift and settle around pipe connections over time. This movement can cause joints to separate or pipes to sag, leading to blockages. The loose soil also makes it easier for tree roots to penetrate drainage systems. South East Water requires proper bedding and backfill techniques in sandy conditions.
