02 / Older homes, older pipes

Clay lines and
tree roots.


A good share of the northern suburbs was built when sewer lines were clay and joints were mortar. Roots find those joints, and the blockage that keeps coming back is usually a cracked pipe rather than what went down the sink.

03 / Suburbs covered

Where we work
around Glenorchy.


The northern suburbs, from New Town up to Austins Ferry. If you are nearby and not on the list, call and ask.

That is why a camera goes down the line before anything else. If the pipe itself has failed, Nuflow Hobart relines it from the inside, so the driveway and garden stay where they are.

04 / Common questions

Glenorchy plumbing,
answered.

Why does the same drain keep blocking?

In older northern-suburbs housing it is usually the pipe rather than the habit. Clay sewer lines crack and their joints open up, roots follow the moisture in, and clearing the blockage leaves the crack behind. A CCTV inspection shows which it is, and a reline fixes the pipe without digging up the yard.

Do you work on units and rental properties?

Yes. We work for owners, tenants, property managers and body corporates, and we can report back to whoever is paying rather than whoever is standing there.

Can you come out after hours in Glenorchy?

Yes. We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays, for burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked sewers, no hot water and properties with no water at all. A real person takes the details, any hour.
