Sewer & Stormwater Installation
Sewer & Stormwater Installation
Whether you’re building a new home, subdividing land, or upgrading an old system, proper sewer and stormwater installation is essential for safe, functional plumbing. At Tacking Point Plumbing and Site Services, we provide fully licensed sewer and stormwater installs across Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Forster, and the wider Mid North Coast — from trench to connection.
We handle everything from planning and excavation to pipe laying, inspection, and backfill — ensuring your underground services are built to code and ready for long-term performance.
What Is This Service?
Sewer installation involves connecting your property to the main sewer line or to a septic/treatment system, including trenching, laying PVC piping, inspection points, and final connections.
Stormwater installation handles rainwater runoff from your roof, ground surfaces, and site drainage — moving it safely away from your home to prevent pooling, flooding, and foundation damage.
Both systems are essential for health, safety, and compliance — and both need to be installed with accuracy and local council knowledge.

CCTV Drain Inspections
CCTV Drain Inspections
When drains are blocked, slow, or backing up repeatedly, the real issue is often hidden underground. At Tacking Point Plumbing and Site Services, we use high-definition CCTV camera inspections to look inside your sewer and stormwater pipes — without digging — to quickly identify what’s going wrong and how to fix it.
We provide CCTV drain inspections across Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Forster, and surrounding areas, helping homeowners, builders, and real estate professionals make informed decisions.
What Is This Service?
CCTV drain inspections involve sending a waterproof camera through your pipes to record and assess their internal condition. This allows us to spot cracks, root intrusion, pipe collapses, poor installation, or built-up debris — all in real time.
It’s ideal for diagnosing persistent issues, checking new installations, or ensuring drainage is compliant before handover or sale.

Broken Pipe Repairs
Broken Pipe Repairs
A cracked or collapsed pipe can lead to serious problems — from persistent blockages and water damage to health risks and costly repairs if left unchecked. At Tacking Point Plumbing and Site Services, we provide expert broken pipe repairs across Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Forster, and beyond.
Whether it’s a cracked stormwater pipe in your backyard or a damaged sewer line underground, we locate the issue, access it safely, and repair it properly — no shortcuts.
What Is This Service?
Broken pipe repair involves identifying the damaged section of pipe (usually sewer or stormwater), exposing it with minimal disruption, and replacing or patching the pipe to restore full function.
Damage is often caused by tree roots, old pipes collapsing, ground movement, or poor installation. Early repair prevents further damage and more expensive work later on.
