Farm Country From an 1825 Grant

Few homes, long lanes

Allandale's name goes back to a land grant made in 1825, and at the last census just 32 dwellings stood here, spread along Allandale Road, Old North Road and the lanes between.

Galvanised runs to distant houses

Water can travel a long way from a road meter to a farmhouse set well back, and older runs were laid in galvanised steel that now leaks at the threaded joints.

Clay drains and big trees

Houses built before the war still send waste out through brief lengths of clay pipe, which split when the reactive ground shifts, and old shelter trees and gums in the paddocks feed roots into the gaps.

Ponding after long rain

Water lies on the clay paddocks and backs up the open roadside drains after a long wet spell, pushing toward house pads and driveways.

What Acreage Blocks Need

Emergency plumbing

A corroded steel main splitting under an old farm yard, or a flexi connector letting go in a renovated kitchen or ensuite.

Blocked drains

Windbreak roots in the house drains, and table drains backing up after prolonged rain.

Hot water

Older electric storage tanks in farmhouses can fail with little warning, and a temporary tank covers the gap.

Gas fitting

Licensed connections where the run from the meter to the appliance is a long one.

Finding Faults on Big Blocks

On a town block the pipe is a short walk from the van, but out here a buried line can run the length of a paddock. The pipe locator and drain camera narrow a fault to one spot before any digging, which saves trenching across open ground.

Frost settles on the open flats here, averaging 8.5 days a year, so exposed pipework between tank, meter and house is worth checking before winter.

Another Trade's Job

Pumping out and repairing septic tanks and trenches belongs to a licensed wastewater contractor. The drains leading from the house to the tank are plumbing, and those we clear.

Questions From Allandale Blocks

Do properties out here run on septic?

Nearly all of them are off the sewer, so wastewater is dealt with on each block. Servicing the tank is a wastewater contractor's job, while the house drain running out to it is ours to clear and film.

Can hot water keep running during a replacement?

Yes. A temporary tank can go in when a storage unit fails, keeping showers hot until the new system is fitted. The replacement is quoted as a fixed price before any work.
