What Does a Sewer Tie Excavation Entail?

Sewer tie excavation refers to the process of digging a trench to access and connect a property’s plumbing system to the main municipal sewer line. Licensed plumbers or excavation contractors typically do this work.

What It Involves

Here are the steps involved in the sewer tie excavation process:

  • Locating the main sewer line: Usually under the street or a nearby easement. Confirm the exact location using available plans and records to ensure accuracy and avoid damaging existing infrastructure.
  • Digging (excavation): A trench is excavated from the property (typically from a new or existing building) to the connection point at the main sewer.
  • Installing the sewer tie (connection): A pipe is installed to link the property’s waste system to the council’s main line.
  • Inspection and approval: Local councils often require inspection before backfilling to ensure the connection meets regulations. An inspection shaft is typically used as an access point for maintenance and inspection during this stage.
  • Backfilling and restoration: The trench is refilled and the surface (soil, driveway, pavement etc.) is restored.

Called Woden Valley plumbing for a broken toilet cystern was able to explain everything over the phone and provide a quote. Next day Alex came out to do the work and did a great job! Also did washers for showers and taps and the price came to what another company quoted a few months back just to do the washers. Highly recommended.

We were very happy with whole experience with Wooden Valley Plumbing. I booked online for someone to come and look at our hot water system which was malfunctioning. We got a phone call straight away moving our appointment forward to get it fixed.The tech who attend was super polite and professional. Talked me through the issues (and didn’t default to the most expensive outcome either!). Half an hour and we were done and dusted, and we have hot water again! Also gave me some good advice about what to do if the issue happens again (before we pay more money for him to attend!Received a follow up call the following day to check to see that all was good with our hot water.So, all in all, very happy, and a pleasure to recommend!

I highly recommend Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting. They are highly responsive and reliable. More importantly they are genuinely nice people who I trust to undertake repairs/undertake services at my elderly mother’s house when I am not there. She is comfortable to have them in her home which has not been the case with other companies.

Outstanding service from a highly professional team. We had an urgent need to repair a blocked sewer. With hours of getting a quote from Alex, Mickey and James arrived at our property and started work. Access to the site was very difficult but they managed to get a digger down the narrow access path without any damage. By 3pm they had the hole dug and piping replace. By midday the next day they had finished the job after restoring the site superbly. We could not recommend Woden Valley Plumbing and Gasfitting highly enough. Definitely 5 Star!

Prompt and professional service at very short notice. Alex very quickly identified the problem with a malfunctioning tap, and another dripping connection in the laundry. He suggested we update the taps for long term trouble-free operation. We were very happy with the service and the end result.

When It’s Required

In these situations, property owners may need to apply for a new sewer connection or junction, submit the required application and paperwork to the relevant authorities, and consider the cost involved in the process.

  • Building a new home or granny flat as part of a development project
  • Switching from a septic system to mains sewer
  • Replacing or upgrading old sewer connections
  • Repairs where existing connections have collapsed

Our Professional Icon Water Sewer Tie Excavation

A blocked sewer can quickly turn into a plumbing nightmare for any household. Our sewer tie excavation services require a licensed plumber and are designed to address this issue head-on, resolving problems relating to Icon Water assets and the broader wastewater network.

We carefully excavate the boundary jump-up and tie point area to determine whether the blockage is in your sewer lines or drains, and whether it is on your private land or public land, clarifying who is responsible for the repair. It is important to avoid damage during excavation, so we use professional techniques and planning.

Along with excavation, we provide above-ground drain cleaning and CCTV camera inspections to pinpoint the exact location of blockages in sewer lines or drains and identify the root cause of the problem. If the blockage is determined to be the water utility’s responsibility, we will arrange and liaise with Icon Water to coordinate the necessary repair and fix the issue efficiently. We can also report issues to the relevant authorities on your behalf.

Our tailored quotations cover every aspect of the work, giving you peace of mind and transparency. We assist and support customers throughout the process, ensuring your wastewater system is restored and running smoothly. Additionally, we continue to monitor and maintain your system to prevent future issues.

This includes:

  • Excavation under any surface type (concrete, pavers, asphalt, etc.)
  • Temporary removal and reinstallation of landscaping or hardscaping features
  • Thorough cleanup and ground rectification to address any backflow concerns
  • Coordination with the water utility and management of any applicable reimbursements

Stormwater Tie Excavation and Flood Prevention Solutions

Flooding is a common concern for many Woden Valley homeowners. Our stormwater tie excavation services are designed to mitigate this risk by ensuring proper drainage throughout your property and maintaining the integrity of stormwater systems as part of the broader infrastructure. Just like our sewer services, we handle all aspects of stormwater tie excavation, including sewer ties as part of the drainage infrastructure, and coordinate with the necessary authorities – like Icon Water – as required.

It is important to note that stormwater should never be improperly connected to the sewer system, as this can cause blockages and system failures. Effective stormwater drainage is essential for preventing floods in the Woden Valley area. Our experienced team will assess your property’s drainage system, review detailed plans, and provide recommendations to ensure stormwater is directed away from your foundation.

Proper planning and access to accurate plans are crucial for flood prevention, especially for development projects that may require new stormwater tie excavation. We have extensive experience working with various solutions, from simple roof drainage to advanced stormwater treatment and harvesting systems.
