Dreaming of a backyard oasis? A lush lawn, shade from majestic trees, vibrant flower beds - it’s a common goal for any property owner. But what if the very things that make your yard beautiful could be silently staging a destructive, and incredibly expensive, attack on a vital piece of your home’s infrastructure?

Imagine this: you’ve just hosted a wonderful holiday weekend. Family and friends filled your home with laughter, you ran the dishwasher multiple times, and the washing machine was a constant hum. Everything was perfect.

Until it wasn’t.

A few days later, you notice a strange odour in the backyard. The lawn near that one spot is suddenly greener and soggier than everywhere else. Inside, the drains are starting to gurgle ominously.
