Common drainage cleaning, multi-lot blockage response, CCTV inspections, pipe relining and stormwater repairs for Illawarra strata buildings. Stop sewage events, prevent recurrence and document everything for your owners corporation.
Strata drainage work covers all the common-property drainage infrastructure in a strata building — the vertical sewer stacks that collect waste from multiple lots, the horizontal sewer runs from each stack to the boundary, the stormwater pipes draining roof and surface runoff, basement sumps and pump systems, and the network of pits and inspection openings. Drainage failures in strata buildings are particularly disruptive because a single blockage can affect dozens of lots — sewage backing up through ground-floor or basement fixtures when upper-floor units flush is one of the most common and most damaging strata emergencies. Under the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, common drainage is owners corporation property and clearing common-stack blockages, repairing damaged common pipes and maintaining the system in serviceable condition is the corporation\'s legal responsibility under section 106. Plumbing Creations provides specialist strata drainage services across Wollongong, Kiama, Shellharbour and the greater Illawarra region — including 24/7 emergency response for multi-lot blockage events, scheduled high-pressure jetting of common stacks, CCTV inspection programmes, no-dig pipe relining for damaged sewer and stormwater pipes (50+ year liner lifespan, no excavation, no lot disruption), tree root management programmes for buildings with mature gardens, basement sump pump servicing and replacement, and written cause-of-loss reports for insurance claims and lot-owner responsibility allocation. Buildings on a scheduled programme typically experience 80-90% fewer emergency blockage events than reactive-only buildings.
Scheduled high-pressure jetting of common vertical drainage stacks every 12-18 months to prevent grease and debris buildup that causes multi-lot blockage events.
