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.

    I was very impressed with the service. From the time I made the phone call and all the costs were advised until I received a text message advising Tim would be at my place within 9 minutes. Tim was very professional and I will use your Company in future if I have any plumbing work to be done.

He was punctual,obliging and professional. I highly recommend Doherty to anyone requiring plumbing services. In addition the fee was competitive and reasonable. Thank you guys,you will be our go-to for future jobs.

    Of the many plumbing services they offer, this is the second time I've engaged them for different types of work. James has been very helpful and efficient in scheduling a time for a roof leak repair. Very pleased that the work was completed promptly. Trust that they have addressed the issues at hand.

    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.

    Expected attendance time was managed well with calls and alerts prior to. People were respectful, friendly and professional. Problem was quickly diagnosed, fixed and tested through appliances. Clean-up afterwards was greatly appreciated and a step above other service providers. Used Doherty a number of times, very happy to recommend them.
