FAQs
What are the benefits of trenchless pipe relining compared to traditional digging methods?
Trenchless pipe relining repairs damaged sewer or stormwater pipes from the inside using an epoxy-impregnated liner. Because there is no need to excavate your yard, driveway, or paving, the process is much faster, significantly less disruptive, and usually more cost-effective in the long run. The new liner forms a joint-free, corrosion-resistant pipe within the old one, extending service life by 50 years or more and eliminating weak points where roots typically penetrate.
How does hydro-jet drain cleaning work and when is it recommended?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water—up to 5,000 psi—delivered through a flexible hose and specialty nozzles to scour the inside walls of pipes. The pressurised stream breaks up grease, scale, soap residue, and minor tree root intrusions without chemicals. We recommend hydro-jetting for recurring blockages, slow drains, or as preventative maintenance for commercial kitchens and older Newcomb homes with cast-iron or clay pipes. Because it cleans the entire diameter of the pipe, it often restores full flow capacity better than mechanical augers.
Are smart leak detection systems worth installing in my Newcomb home?
Yes. Smart leak detection devices are installed on your main water line and use ultrasonic flow sensors and AI algorithms to spot abnormalities that signal leaks—down to a single dripping tap. If an issue is detected, you receive an instant phone alert and, on severe leaks, the system can automatically shut off your water. Considering the high cost of water damage repairs and rising water rates in the Geelong region, most homeowners recoup the investment the first time a hidden leak is caught early.
Can modern plumbing techniques reduce my water and energy bills?
Absolutely. High-efficiency fixtures, on-demand hot-water recirculation pumps, and thermostatically-controlled mixing valves all lower water and energy usage. By switching to WaterMark-approved low-flow taps and dual-flush toilets, a typical Newcomb household can save up to 30% on annual water consumption. Pairing these with a properly sized continuous-flow gas or heat-pump hot-water system can cut energy costs for water heating by 20–40%.
What qualifications do your Newcomb plumbers have to perform these advanced services?
All our plumbers are fully licensed in Victoria and undertake yearly professional development on the latest pipe rehabilitation, backflow prevention, and smart-home plumbing technologies. We are accredited installers for leading trenchless relining systems and hold confined-space, working-at-heights, and AS 3500 compliance certifications.
