About the Project:
This Strata building is located on the famous Ocean St of Woollahra, which is renowned for its large fig trees that create a beautiful shade over the terrace homes. It is also renowned for large tree roots that climb over the footpaths and smash their way through the stormwater pipes below.
The Problem:
The building experienced major flooding due to heavy rain. The main 225mm stormwater pipe that collects all the rainwater for the building was completely blocked with tree roots, which stopped the water from exiting the building and caused it to overflow in the lower-level units, damaging carpet and floor boards.
How We Fixed It:
We attended on-site and found the problem within the first 30 minutes after inserting the drain camera into the terracotta pipes. After the body corporate accepted our quotation, we relined the pipes using our Brawoliner Inversion lining method and sealed the pipe to stop tree roots returning.
