Drain Solutions for Strata Properties in Melbourne Drains

Dealing with a blocked drain on strata property can be challenging. Oftentimes there’s pushback from individual property owners and insurance companies. It’s crucial for strata managers to gain a proper assessment and diagnosis of the drain issue to be able to prove the case for repairs.

Drain Fixers offer a free CCTV Drain Camera Inspection for strata properties. By feeding a camera through the drain system, we’re able to inspect the entire interior surface of your strata sewer pipes. We do this without any digging, so nobody on the property is inconvenienced.

When is a CCTV Drain Inspection for a Strata Property Needed?

Drainage systems on strata properties are often complex, with drains shared between multiple dwellings. A CCTV drain inspection can effectively help to diagnose a drain problem without disrupting residents and without digging up shared lawns and gardens.

Consider a CCTV drain inspection when:

  • Residents complain of slow drains, blocked drains, or recurring sewer blockages
  • Tree roots are suspected to be entering the pipes
  • The building has old drainage infrastructure
  • Drain damage needs to be documented for repairs, budgeting, or insurance purposes
  • Evidence is needed for an owners corporation general meeting.

CCTV drain inspection footage makes it easier for strata managers and owners corporations to decide on the best course of action for a repair.

Advantages of Using CCTV Drain Cameras to Inspect Drains

Pinpoint the Exact Location of the Problem
Using CCTV Drain Cameras removes the guesswork involved with identifying the location of and cause of a blockage. Rather than digging where we think the problem might be, the camera shows us the exact location. It’s quick, quiet, clean and effective.

Avoid Unnecessary Digging
It’s important to minimise disruption when multiple residents may be affected. We don’t need to dig up pipes to find the site of the sewer problem. CCTV drain inspections mean less damage to shared gardens and driveways, and less noise and mess.

Save Money
Excavating sewer pipes takes time and can be costly, especially if driveways, garden beds, or lawns are disturbed. CCTV drain inspections, combined with no-dig drain repair, can save time and significant expense.

How We Repair Drains on Strata Properties

Step 1

We conduct a free, CCTV drain inspection to accurately diagnose the cause or causes of the blocked or damaged drain. As part of this, we make note of the exact locations of any obstructions or damaged sewer pipes.

Step 2

We provide you with a copy of the footage of our CCTV drain inspection, so you can present it to involved parties.

Step 3

We recommend the best solution for repairing the drain issue. Solutions could involve:

  • Hydro jetting to clean out a blockage
  • Robotic cutting to remove things like tree roots or other obstructions
  • Pipe relining, which involves creating a viable new pipe within the old pipe, using a special resin liner.

Drain Fixers specialise in no-dig solutions for drain repair, however in some cases, Pipe Replacement may be necessary. We do our best to minimise the dig area, and ensure we do a proper clean up job after the work is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Strata property drain issues are often caused by:

  • Blockages
  • Intrusion from tree roots
  • Ageing sewer pipes
  • Collapsed or damaged pipes

Because drains are often shared between units, it can make identifying the cause of a blocked or damaged drain more complicated, which is why a CCTV drain inspection, performed by experts on strata property drain systems, is so helpful.

It varies depending on the type and the extent of the damage. Drain Fixers offers a free CCTV drain inspection to accurately diagnose the issue, and we also provide a free quote. This can help strata managers give residents an accurate idea of likely costs.

For a drain inspection, residents can stay put. CCTV drain assessments are quiet, and don’t involve digging.

When it comes to drain repairs, we try our best to use minimally-invasive methods, like pipe relining, so residents shouldn’t need to vacate. It’s only in the event that pipe relining isn’t viable and drain repair is required, that there’s a chance residents need to vacate, however often works are completed outdoors, and residents are minimally impacted.

On strata properties, typically the owners corporation is responsible for repairs to shared drains. Costs are covered collectively, and CCTV footage can help clearly demonstrate the problem to support approval of the repair and any insurance claims.
