Local knowledge
Plumbing in Pymble, specifically
Pymble sits on the ridge, and what’s under the ridge dictates most of the plumbing here. Sandstone sits close to the surface across much of the suburb, so excavation is slow, noisy and expensive — a two-metre trench that takes an hour in Kellyville can take most of a day here and needs machinery that won’t fit down a lot of Pymble driveways. It’s the reason we quote relining first in this suburb and dig only when the pipe genuinely can’t be lined.
The housing is largely Federation, interwar and post-war on generous blocks, which means original cast iron waste stacks, lead-jointed clay sewer and copper supply lines that have been patched rather than replaced. None of that is a problem in itself; it becomes one when a renovation opens a wall and the pipework behind it turns out to be sixty years older than the bathroom in front of it.
Pymble’s blocks also fall away steeply east toward the Lane Cove valley. Downhill bathrooms, basement laundries and pool plant rooms below sewer level are common, and they depend on pump-out systems that people forget exist until the alarm goes off.
What we see most in Pymble
- Sandstone close to the surface making excavation impractical
- Original cast iron stacks and lead-jointed clay sewer still in service
- Sewage pump-out systems serving below-sewer bathrooms and basements
- Root intrusion under established gardens on large blocks
Approvals
Pymble is in Ku-ring-gai Council
What your council decides, wherever you are
- Approval to install and to operate an on-site wastewater system, under s.68 of the Local Government Act 1993
- Where stormwater is allowed to discharge — kerb, absorption trench or easement — under the council's development control plan
- Consent to remove or prune a tree, including the one whose roots are in your sewer line
Ku-ring-gai Council, specifically
- Stormwater and absorption requirements on large, heavily treed blocks
- Tree preservation, which is among the strictest in Sydney and applies to a great deal of what grows over a sewer line
- Heritage conservation areas, which affect what an external repair is allowed to look like
Ku-ring-gai's tree and heritage controls are the reason so much of the drain work here is relined rather than dug up — it is frequently the only approach that does not need a consent of its own.
Anything built over or beside a Sydney Water sewer — a slab, a pool, an extension — is Sydney Water's approval rather than the council's, and it is the one that most often holds a job up. We tell you which of the two you need before you start chasing either.
