Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between stormwater and sewer drainage?+
Stormwater carries surface and roof water to legal points of discharge — a stormwater main, kerb or watercourse. Sewer carries wastewater from fixtures to Icon Water's sewer main. They must not be cross-connected.
Do you handle both residential and civil drainage?+
Yes — we cover single-home drainage right through to Class 3 civil stormwater and sewer for developments.
Can you fix a drain without digging up the yard?+
Often yes — pipe relining installs a new epoxy pipe inside the old one via existing inspection points. See our pipe relining page.
How do I know if my house drain is damaged?+
Recurring blockages, wet patches over the drain line, gurgling toilets or slow-draining showers all suggest damage. A CCTV inspection gives a definitive answer.
Do you provide drainage reports for property sales?+
Yes — we provide CCTV drain survey reports for pre-purchase and pre-sale due diligence, with clear video and written recommendations.
