You will be able to encase that.

Budget $20-25,000 including design fees, CCVT investigations and the actual work and you should be covered

Thanks Simeon,
I want to make sure this can be done before I buy it. Can I get a builder to attend the site or is this a plumber job?

Understand, There are specialist designers who manage this. If you google "Sydney water service co-ordinators" you will find an approved list. Best to call one and get an opinion. We use Harrison Freedman.

Hi Moniq, we did something recently because our sewer was on our driveway, it didn't require encasement, but it did require an expensive report from the right accredited people, along with having Sydney water sign off on it. It's a long-ish process.

This one will need encasement as the sewer is directly under the house. Your driveway wouldn't need encasing as your structure would have been outside the zone of influence.

Encasement is a pretty straight forward process for a single dwelling and can be designed approved in a few weeks with the right consultant. Just costs some extra money but nothing to be afraid of.

Sorry I didn't mean that she won't need encasing, our one was potentially subject to it. But what I meant to really say was how long the process took, I guess it also depends on how big the sewer was, ours was deemed as some large asset and they required us to get a special engineering report done then it had to be reviewed for sometime by Sydney Water and that took quite a lot of back and forth before they approved it.

Thanks for clarifying. Sorry I misunderstood your point
