Just got hit up with another problem
(Well i knew it would pop up eventually, ive just been trying to avoid it).
My sewerage pipe from my property boundary leading into the street is stuffed.
To fix this its going to cost $9k+ because they'll need to dig into the footpath and road, therefore requiring permits, more waste disposal, then fixing up the road etc.
At this stage, im not looking to get it done and hope that every time it blocks ill just get a plumber out (approx $150-$200) and get it unblocked with the eel / high water pressure.
Since i've owned the property (from 2003), ive had to call out a plumber 3 times to fix it, so $200 every 2 years isnt so bad (well not as bad is $9k!).
Im just hoping that having the waste from the granny flat will help keep water flowing more constantly resulting in the less blockage. Do you think this will work, or will having more water/waste actually make it worse?
Other question i have here is that is there anyway I can make the council and RTA pay for it instead seeing its on their land and not mine.
