Plumbers Notes from the Job:
Day 1
- Attended website and confirmed the sewer drain was blocked as much as the Inspection Shaft (IS) on the entrance RHS of the home.
- Tried to clear the sewer by plunging it to see if I might establish what was responsible for the blockage however was unsuccessful.
- Shoppers had already reduce the concrete throughout the driveway and uncovered the prevailing Earthenware sewer drain so I continued to dig up the ditch and expose the pipework to the other aspect of the driveway. Because of the great amount of tree roots, a mini excavator is required to dig up the rest of the pipework.
- Sean arrived on website with the excavator to excavate the rest of the drain and expose the IS shaft and lead off. Lead off is approx. 1.2 m deep and the IS shaft is approx. 3 m deep.
- The lead off is a mix of each Earthenware and PVC pipework and encased in concrete.
- We then Jackhammered the concrete away from across the pipework to have the ability to take away the part of failed Earthenware drain. Sections of the prevailing storm water drain will should be eliminated and changed as it’s in the best way of the previous sewer drain needing to get replaced.
- Positioned a cloth order with suppliers for supply tomorrow morning and the consumer has organised a 6mt heavy skip bin.
- Lodged a Certificates of Compliance and booked a under floor sewer inspection with the Victorian Constructing Authority (VBA) for Wednesday morning.
Day 2
- Arrived on website and continued to jack hammer the concrete out from across the pipework. As soon as the concrete was eliminated, we have been capable of set up an Earthenware to PVC adapter on high of the prevailing IS shaft.
- Widened the ditch across the shaft to have the ability to run the brand new storm water drain.
- Checked ranges within the trench for proper grade of fall, then put in quarter minus bedding materials. Put in new UPVC sewer drainage system throughout the driveway and linked it to the IS shaft, put in IS shaft with vent to floor stage then accomplished the backfill of bedding materials across the pipe prepared for VBA inspection tomorrow morning.
- Ran fixtures from inside the home to examine sewer was operating accurately with no leaks.
- Commenced reconnecting all of the eliminated stormwater pipework. The present pipework is an previous 100mm storm water pipe which has been discontinued so wanted to put in rubber plumb quicks to adapt to present pipework commonplace.
- Continued operating new 100 mm storm water pipework and linked as much as all factors and checked for leaks.
- Cleaned up worksite prepared for inspection tomorrow morning
Day 3
- Arrange an air take a look at on the sewer drain set up in preparation for the VBA inspection booked for 7.30am.
- Inspector hadn’t arrived by 8am, in order per laws, we proceeded to backfill the excavation. Excavated trench is throughout a driveway, so all backfill was compacted with the rammer.
- Crammed the skip bin with remaining spoil from the excavation, cleaned up the positioning and packed up the excavator prepared for the subsequent job.
- Spoke to Celeste to verify we had a cheerful consumer, then headed again to the manufacturing facility to return the excavator.
