Sewer blockage – Doherty Plumbing Solutions to the rescue

Sewer plumbing Ashwood

Ruth was concerned about a possible sewer blockage somewhere inside the pipeline at her Ashwood property. After basins and showers were used, the wastewater was not draining quickly. The drain in the bathroom was bubbling up and there was a water build-up outside the house.

She called the Doherty Plumbing Solutions office. Our licensed plumbing professional Tim was dispatched to attend the job.

Tim’s assessment found a blockage to the drainage along the ORG / ISBT shaft was causing the overflowing. He deployed our sewer machine with a heavy-duty cutter to the ORG point and was able to clear the drain successfully.

The cable machine ran from upstream to downstream to ensure the sewer drainage was fully cleared. Tim also performed a water and paper test as a final evaluation. Everything was back to working normally.
Ruth was happy with the outcome of the service and kindly left us a 5-star Google review. Thank you, Ruth, for your support and patience. We are glad to have assisted you and appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.

    Doherty plumbing work was excellent. Very responsive, arrived on time and fixed the issue quickly. Brian and his crew kept me informed at every step and I could not be happier with the end result.

    Came same day as I called to fix broken tap that couldn’t be turned off (had to turn water off at mains to stop flooding). Third time I’ve used them within 12 months for different issues. Very helpful, professional staff and reasonable pricing. Highly recommended.

    Communication pre visit was excellent. Yarra Valley water representative said that the problem was on our property and that you should have fixed it. We’re unsure about that and pleased that it was fixed promptly.
