Why Old Pipes And Electrical Cables May Accidentally Get Damaged?

So Why Old Pipes And Electrical Cables May Accidentally Get Damaged?

Pipe Work

– Pipes may be embedded in your concrete slab. However, the slab thickness must be increased by 25mm (This is the Australian standard) and the mesh increased to the next size up. (Reference: “Pipes Under Slabs“) If a pipe is NOT 25mm deep in your concrete slab, it is most likely “old pipework” from around the 1920 – 1980s, Carpet Removal Sydney will not be held liable for any old pipework that is accidentally “struck, hit, ground, broken, etc) by any of our tools, if it did not meet the Australian guidelines of being 25mm deep in your concrete slab. As this would have been impossible for us to predict or prevent. Therefore, Carpet Removal Sydney will not be liable for any accidental damage/leaks that may occur.

Electrical Cables

– Electrical Cables may be embedded in your concrete slab. However, the slab thickness must be increased by 50mm (This is the Australian standard). If an electrical cable is NOT 50mm deep in your concrete slab, it is most likely an “old electrical cable” from around the 1920 – 1980s, Carpet Removal Sydney will not be held liable for any old electrical cable work that is accidentally “struck, hit, ground, broken, etc) by any of our tools, if it did not meet the Australian guidelines of being 50mm deep in your concrete slab. As this would have been impossible for us to predict or prevent. Therefore, Carpet Removal Sydney will not be liable for any accidental damage that may occur.
