Trench Plumbing Discovery – Scored Blue Line Poly Pipe Fixed

Darius was out in the trenches replacing a water service line at a client’s development site when a surprising discovery came to light.

What should have been a straightforward replacement turned into a detective job:

•The Blue Line poly pipe (usually one of the most durable options) showed scoring along the entire run

•The damage was unusual enough to warrant a closer look

•Out came the inspection camera to assess just how bad things were

💬 “I’ve installed Blue Line poly hundreds of times – but seeing scoring like this is a first for me.”

🔎 Step 1: Investigation

•Dug down to expose the scored sections

•Used an inspection camera to trace the full length of the damage

•Confirmed the pipe couldn’t be trusted long-term

🛠️ Step 2: Repair & Replacement

•Removed the damaged sections

•Installed fresh, undamaged Blue Line poly

•Carefully backfilled with clean bedding material to protect the new pipe from future wear

✅ Step 3: Testing & Wrap-Up

•Pressure-tested the new installation to confirm reliability

•Left the site tidy and ready for the client’s development to move forward

•Another trench job completed with care, precision, and no shortcuts

Smelly Drain in Newly Renovated Bathroom? Problem Solved!

Darius headed out to Wembley to investigate a very unwelcome surprise in a freshly refurbished bathroom — a persistent, nasty drain smell that just wouldn’t go away.

The bathroom looked new, clean, and modern… but something lurking in the floor gully was causing chaos.

🔎 Step 1: The Investigation

•Inspected the gully and found debris stuck at the bottom

•Confirmed the odor wasn’t caused by the new fixtures, but by hidden buildup

•Tried high-pressure jetting multiple times, but the smell persisted

💬 “If debris sits in the bottom of a gully, it ferments and creates nasty smells – this will solve it for good!”

🛠️ Step 2: Getting Creative

When the jetter wasn’t enough, Darius turned to a few MacGyver-style techniques:

•Dislodged stubborn debris with extra tools and persistence

•Applied sodium hydrochloride powder (a strong cleaning agent) to fully sanitize the gully

•Ensured all bacteria and waste particles were neutralized

✅ Step 3: Fresh Finish

•Drain thoroughly cleaned and odor-free

•Long-term solution in place for the homeowner

•Another case of plumbing detective work paying off!

Hugh Future-Proofs a Burst Pipe Repair in Dalkeith

When a burst pipe hits, it can cause big headaches – especially when there’s no easy way to isolate the problem. That’s exactly what Hugh faced when he was called to a Dalkeith property after the swimming pool outhouse toilet went down with a major leak.

📍 Location: Dalkeith, WA

🔎 The Problem

On arrival, Hugh discovered:

•Two badly corroded flexi hoses (one completely burst)

•A mixer tap set that had seen better days

•No isolation valves – meaning the whole building had to be shut off to deal with the leak

🛠️ The Fix

Rather than doing a quick patch job, Hugh future-proofed the plumbing for the long run:

• Replaced the entire mixer set

• Installed brand-new flexi hoses

• Added isolation valves on each side, so any future issue can be fixed without shutting off the whole property

💬 “Future-proofing is the key – this way, if something goes wrong down the line, you don’t need to turn off the whole building.”

📌 The Result

•Burst pipe repaired properly

•Plumbing modernised and safer

•Outhouse toilet back in action with peace of mind for the customer

Another job done right by Plumbdog – not just fixing the immediate problem, but setting things up to prevent future failures. 🐾
