Help! My ORG (Overflow Relief Gully) Is Full Of Sand!

ORG-photo It’s one of the most common occurrences in Australian residential homes – the blocked ORG! With the primary culprit being children and their tendency to lift the easily removable plastic grate and fill the long drop hole with sand, rocks, garden waste or even small toys, Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have seen their fair share of plumbing problems stemming from this issue.

All properties in Australia require an Overflow Relief Gully (ORG); a grated drain that acts like a relief valve, located outside (usually on the ‘wet’ side of the house) that prevents a blocked sewer emptying its contents into your home. An ORG has a grate that pops out and allows the sewerage to overflow freely outside if you have a blockage in your plumbing, which is also a popular outside play thing for small children and some dogs to remove and take off with.

Some points to remember with ORG’s include:

Regular Inspections
Check Your ORG’s Height
Older Home? Check You’ve Got One.

Regular Inspections

Overflow Relief Gully’s have a major function in your home so it’s imperative to keep them well maintained. Inspect your ORG every so often to make sure that it’s not full of water (which means a blockage) and that it hasn’t been covered up with sand or other ‘matter’ and just check your downpipes and storm water are not connected into the ORG, as it can back up the sewer system (which is not designed to carry storm water).

Check Your ORG’s Height

Usually the ORG is at least 100mm lower than the lowest waste outlet (basin, toilet, shower drain) in your home and at least 150mm above the surrounding ground to prevent storm water flowing into it.

Older Home? Check You’ve Got One.

If your home was built prior to 1976, it won’t have an ORG, but if it has been renovated or you’re looking to renovate the house, you will need to ensure an ORG is installed. No house is ever immune to a plumbing blockage so to not have an ORG on your property means you could find yourself with a nasty mess, an emergency plumbing callout, or worse, an insurance claim.

Who Can Help Me With My Blocked ORG?

If the fixtures in your house don’t drain properly, a quick inspection of your ORG will tell you if the blockage is on the main sewer line or just the pipework from that particular fixture. If the ORG is clear, this indicates the blockage is in the pipework to the fixture itself. If the ORG is full of water, you may find you have a blockage down the line or it’s been filled with foreign matter that shouldn’t be there.

Some appliances and fixtures you definitely need an expert for include:

Gas Stove
Plumbing Pipes
Sinks

Gas Stove

Whilst your gas stove may have seen better days and you are replacing it with an electric one or you simply want to move it, you will need a professional gas fitter to detach and either dismantle or shift it. Dismantling gas appliances is dangerous and can pose potential risks of leaks and explosions in your home. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas employ only licensed gas fitters to ensure your gas appliances and pipes are altered and renovated safely and efficiently.

Plumbing Pipes

These veins run through your entire home and pump water to where it’s needed and carry it away from where it’s not. The intricacies of plumbing can only be understood by an experienced plumber and you don’t want to be capping off essential plumbing pipes, using wrong fittings to extend existing pipes or cutting off supply to the area you need water the most. Plumbers can follow the lines of your plumbing to ensure your water pressure is adequate and efficient so it’s a job best left to the professionals.

Sinks

It may seem easy to replace a sink, however the size and location of your sink has more to do with the surrounding structures than you may think. Plumbers can assist you with sink placement and installation to ensure it’s not too close to a wall that may cause damage with excessive water, or tiles that can get damaged over time from exposure to too much liquid. Fitting a sink, or moving it to another location is also a job for the experienced, with some older fittings needing to be altered and extended to accommodate newer parts.

Pipe Relining with Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas

Sometimes plumbing pipes have a mind of their own. No matter how vigilant you are in ensuring strange items don’t get flushed or tipped down the drain, some pipes are simply too aged and worn to function properly. Broken and leaking pipes can cause a lot of damage and cost you a lot of money to repair and digging up your garden or pulling pipes out of the walls is not only hugely inconvenient. It will set you back a small fortune.

The latest technology in pipe preventative care assists to rehabilitate damaged drain and sewer lines underground without the need for excavation. It’s called Pipe Relining and works by placing a lining solution inside the existing pipe, along it’s sides, to form the shape of the pipe. Benefits of Pipe Relining include:

Prolong the Life Of Your Pipes
Cost Effective and Saves Money
Minimise Landscape Disruption

Prolong the Life Of Your Pipes

The use of the epoxy materials in the relining process reinforces the old pipe throughout the entire system. Much like a sealant, this resin lines and supports the old pipe and eliminates weak points and joints, giving your pipes higher efficiency and resilience to damage.

Cost Effective and Saves Money

Pipe repair At the first sign of damage or leaking, preventative measures will usually ensure that further damage, and cost, can be avoided. Much like sealing a roof at the first sign of a leak inside, relining your pipes is a cost effective preventative measure to deter further damage and the need for complete replacement. Pipe relining is far less labour-intensive as the pipes do not have to be extracted from the ground and you do not have the added cost of materials and surroundings damaged during excavation.

Minimise Landscape Disruption

Plants and tress that have taken years to grow and establish can be gone in a second when you need to dig up your yard to replace and repair broken or damaged plumbing. Pavers and concrete for patio flooring as well as paths, garden beds, retaining walls and outdoor structures can also be compromised when large scale excavation has to be performed to locate damage or replace pipes. All this is not only inconvenient and upsetting, but costly as well. Pipe relining significantly reduces the down time of your backyard and the disruption to your landscape by having very little impact on your garden surface.

Stop Flushing Money Away – What Not To Flush Down Your Toilet

Toilet A plumbing disaster can cost you thousands of dollars and nobody wants to spend their money on a bathroom flooding or a pipe bursting because someone flushed the wrong thing down the toilet. Plumbers are called out to thousands of emergency jobs per year to repair plumbing damage due to large blockages and faults, resulting in costly bills to the homeowner. Knowing what not to flush down the loo can keep your pipes clear and working efficiently, resulting in less chance of a blocked drain or worse.

Whilst many of these items may come as common sense to most, some are wrongly considered entirely safe to flush down the toilet and into the wastewater system. They include:

Pets
Wet Wipes
Cooking Oils and Fats
Cigarette Butts
Sanitary Items and Dental Floss

Pets

Whilst it may seem like common sense not to attempt to flush your family pet down the toilet, a staggering amount of people still flush pet fish and mice down the toilet when they ‘pass on’. That’s a very nasty site for your plumber when they fish around in your pipes to find a dead/decaying body as the source of the blockage. Just like humans and bigger pets, deceased small pets need to be buried or disposed of responsibly – not flushed away.

Wet Wipes

Despite the packaging on so many of these products claiming them to be flushable, wet wipes and many moist toilet paper wipes are not biodegradable. The thicker, stronger fibres of these products mean they do not break down nearly as fast as normal toilet paper and contribute to blockages in both residential pipes and the wastewater sewage system.

Cooking Oils and Fats

Drains are drains, no matter where they run from. You don’t pour cooking oils and fats down the kitchen sink drain, so don’t tip them down the toilet. These mixtures act as the very best agents for small particles to stick too inside your pipes and create slimy walls along the way, not to mention pollute the water supply as it washes into the sewage system.

Cigarette Butts

cigarette butt They may seem small enough, but ciggie butts are worse flushed than they are butted out and tossed in the bin. Butts just do not break down (have you not seen those stubborn butts still sitting on street verges after being rained on all winter?) and lead to big problems with blockages and pollution.

Sanitary Items and Dental Floss

Pads and tampons are made from cotton but tend to swell when exposed to large amounts of water. A large swollen clump of tight cotton is a recipe for disaster when flushed down a sewerage pipe. Condoms do not break down for years and dental floss gets wrapped around everything inside the pipes and creates a framework for blockages. Popping these items in a plastic bag and disposing of them in the bin is not only environmentally friendly, it’ll ensure your chances of a blocked or damaged pipe is significantly reduced.

Have You Bought A New Home? Do You Need A Plumbing Checkup?

Have you just bought a new home? Congratulations! Purchasing and moving into a new home is such an exciting time. You’ve done all of the inspections and new adventures lay ahead. But many new homeowners find out too late that their new home has severe plumbing problems buried far beneath the walls, with old or inadequate plumbing systems not being revealed in pre-sale inspections. Nobody can see through your walls, but you can take some steps to visually inspect your home for any potential problems.

It is imperative that you always call a professional out to inspect and rectify any issues you may recognise when it comes to the plumbing in your home. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas are your local experts in all areas of residential and commercial plumbing and can assist you in recognising and repairing small issues before they become large problems.

Some signs to look out for and inspections to carry out include:

Standing Water
Peeling Paint and Rust
Sewer/Septic Tank
Water Heater

Standing Water

paint A big indicator that water leakage is awry is standing water, or pools of water in certain areas of your yard, that won’t dry up and are recurring. Excess water in your yard usually indicates a leak in the sewer line coming from your home and can contain waste that your children and pets can easily gain access too, not to mention being a breeding ground for pests, insects and germs. Swampy patches in your grass or garden beds, or areas where the grass or plants look particularly green are usually the areas to inspect first.

Peeling Paint and Rust

Inside your home, the biggest indicator of leaking pipes is water damage to your walls. Peeling and bubbling paint and rust spreading over metal door frames is your first sign that the pipes are leaking water into the wall cavity. You should also inspect the inside of cabinets and cupboards in the kitchen and bathrooms to check for water damage. This will usually be picked up in your house inspection, however cheap patch up jobs can hide the damage behind the wall. If your wall plaster or surface feels damp to touch, comes off in your hands or is bubbling away on the surface, call your plumber to inspect the pipes for a leak.

Sewer/Septic Tank

Whether your new home runs on the Water Corporation’s wastewater system or you have your own septic tank, an inspection of the sewage is imperative to ensure your waste is being carried away efficiently from your home. Check for wet patches above the location of the septic tank (if you have one) and if your plumbing shows any signs of blockage, such as slow draining, bad smells or strange noises, call your plumber. They can use specialised equipment to inspect the pipes thoroughly.

Water Heater

Hot water specialist Check your water heater for year of manufacture and any signs of damage from the outside. Water heaters and their elements can be costly to repair or replace so frequent checks are essential. If you live in an area that experiences ‘hard water’, the elements and fixtures can corrode quickly so if your hot water is limited or the heater shows signs of damage or significant age, it’s best to call your plumber to assess before it ends up costly you significantly.

Don’t Flush Your Baby Wipes

Baby wipes As any parent will tell you, antibacterial wipes (or baby/wet wipes as they are known in Australia) are a godsend for parents of babies and toddlers. These small sheets of moist fibres are not exclusive to parents of young children; teenagers use them frequently for various purposes and there are now sanitary wipes available for all ages as an alternative for dry toilet paper. Whilst some of these products are actually marketed as flushable, recent research has revealed that these wet wipes are causing major issues in our wastewater systems.

According to the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission), wet wipes, even though claiming to be flushable, are simply not suitable to be disposed of in our plumbing systems. An astonishing one in four people in metropolitan areas are flushing wet/baby wipes down the loo and roughly 75% of reported sewer blockages in major cities are the result of wet wipe accumulation. (www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-personal-care/skin-care-and-cosmetics/articles/flushable-wipes)

The main reasons to not flush your baby/wet wipes down the toilet include:

Environmental Hazard
Pipe Blockages = Big Problems = Big Costs
Wipes are Now #1 for Blockages

Environmental Hazard

Wet/baby wipes do not break down like toilet paper does. They are designed to be much stronger and therefore take significantly longer in the biodegradation process. The chemicals used in the manufacture of these wipes contributes to water pollution and the fibrous paper itself simply adds to waste product in our wastewater system. If these wipes aren’t removed in treatment facilities, they are flushed out to oceans and creeks, causing major environmental hazards.

Pipe Blockages = Big Problems = Big Costs

The removal of large clumps of accumulated baby/wet wipes in plumbing pipes is labour intensive and very unpleasant. The wipes not only build up quickly to form a mass that is very difficult to break down, but other waste products get catch up in this blockage. As such, plumbers are well within their rights to charge accordingly and when you are frequently flushing baby/wet wipes down the loo, these blockages can occur way too often, resulting in plumbers being called and big bills being accumulated. Avoid large, costly plumbing bills by placing wipes in the rubbish bin, not the toilet.

Wipes Are Now #1 For Blockages

According to the ACCC and numerous residential plumbers, wipes are now the biggest cause of household plumbing blockages in Australia. Although so many are labelled as flushable, the truth is that they do not break down adequately and are causing detrimental blockages and damage to residential plumbing. In some reported cases, pipes have even burst, resulting in costly repair bills for not just the pipe repair, but the water damage to the home.

I Think I Might Need To Check For Baby Wipe Blockage! Who Can Help Me?

The team at Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have seen it all when it comes to plumbing blockages. They are your local, reliable professionals, servicing the South West for over 35 years. Call the team on 9791 1608 (Bunbury) or 9759 1317 (Dunsborough) today to arrange a free quote to inspect your pipes if you think you may have flushed too many baby/wet wipes down your plumbing pipes.

Plumbing Questions Answered

Drain Do you have a pressing plumbing problem? Have you always wondered about common plumbing issues or problems that seem to re-occur in your home? The team at Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have gathered the most commonly asked questions for all of your most curious plumbing ponderings.

Why Does A Toilet Just Start To Run/Leak?

The most common cause of a leaking or constantly running toilet is that the flapper no longer forms a tight seal against the valve seat. This lets water leak from the tank into the bowl. Chemical build-up in the flapper contributes to wear and tear over time, resulting in what is known as a ‘silent leak’ – quite difficult to detect if you aren’t extremely vigilant about staring into your toilet bowl. Other contributors to leaking toilets include:

Faulty fill valves
Faulty floats
A stuck flapper (noticeable when the flush button doesn’t pop back up again)
Faulty connections
Broken or cracked tanks
Leaking supply lines

Is There Really Such Thing as Hard Water?

Toilet Problems Yes, and it’s not good for your plumbing, or for your body. Sediment, chemical build up and presence of heavy metals and additives not only lead to pipe and fixture erosion, but taste disgusting and can be detrimental to your health. If your area is renowned for ‘hard water’, contact Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas to install a water filtration system at the mains.

Why Is The Toilet Making That Noise When I Flush?

Depending on the issue, a toilet can make some very strange noses compared to the usual whoosh and gurgle. A loud whining sound will usually indicate restricted water flow to the refill valve. A definite foghorn sound is usually a result of dirty valves or the need to replace the ballcock and fill valves. Prolonged gurgling after the flush will be a problem further down the pipes, such as a blockage in the drain.

What Causes Low Water Pressure?

Ever been in the shower only to have the water pressure nose-dive into a dribble because someone has turned on the kitchen tap or started the washing machine? Using water elsewhere in the house is usually the explanation for a sharp decrease in water pressure, however faulty valves, leaks in the pipes and blockages can also restrict water flow.

Why Does The Hot Water Run Out So Fast?

Dependant on the age of your hot water unit and whether it is instantaneous or not, your hot water may flow for a minimal amount of time compared to more modern, electric hot water units. Hot water units that run on a storage tank alone will only provide hot water until the tank runs out whereas instantaneous hot water systems heat the water as it runs through a heated coil, so the chances of the water running cold is a lot less.

How Do I Find The Best Plumber?

You already have! Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas have provided the South West with reliable, friendly and highly skilled service for almost 40 years, assisting with all types of plumbing, gas and hot water problems, maintenance and repair.

Why Has My Hot Water Gone Cold?

Shower There are very few things in life more uncomfortable than a cold shower or more unsanitary than a sink full of icy dish washing water. Some swear by the awakening properties of freezing cold streams of water or argue that it simply takes just a little more elbow grease to wash dishes in cold water, however most people enjoy the luxury of hot water, especially when they have paid good money for a functioning hot water system.

So why is your hot water system not working? There could be many reasons why your lovely warm water is not flowing through to the sink, shower or drain that you wish it to. Here are some of the main culprits you need to hunt down once you’ve warmed up and are on the hunt!

Someone’s Using the Water
Individual Fixture Malfunction
In Need of Repair

Someone’s Using the Water

A serious crime in any household, the use of the hot water tap, when someone else is in the shower is tantamount to a week of dishwashing duties. If your hot water flow significantly decreases whilst you are in the shower, your most likely culprit is that someone is using the water elsewhere in the house.

Similarly, the increasing number of showers, loads of washing, dishwasher or sink fills can tax your hot water system’s maximum capacity. It can take over 30 mins for some water heaters to re-heat a full tank of water. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas carry a range of larger hot water systems and instantaneous solutions that simply heat the required amount of water as it moves through a heated coil, that may be able to assist with your growing families water requirements.

Water pipe repair

Individual Fixture Malfunction

If the water is running at your desired heated temperature from all the other taps and shower heads in your home except one, then you will most likely find it is something simple that is faulty with that particular plumbing fixture. Broken showerhead mixing valves, which regulate the mix of hot and cold water, are a common issue, however your problem may extend into the pipes in the walls so be sure to call a plumber for any repairs and replacements.

In Need of Repair

Have you checked the water temperature settings haven’t been fiddled with? Is the electricity supply turned on or pilot light still lit? If all the basic checks come back with no reason why your system shouldn’t be functioning properly, it’s time to call in the experts. Heating elements can be burnt out or become encrusted with sediment, temperature control valves can be faulty, or you may have a blockage in the pipes, all jobs for a licensed plumber and gas fitter.
