What we find in Belmont

A blocked stormwater line in a catchment that drains to Bulimba Creek is a storm-season problem waiting for a storm.

Belmont in detail

With Bulimba Creek nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.

Getting access in Belmont

Parking is rarely a problem in Belmont. Tell us where the meter is and whether there is a dog, and we can get straight to work.

Getting to Belmont

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. The same vans cover Tingalpa, Wakerley, Gumdale and Chandler, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call us

Before you call, two things help us a great deal. First, note which fixtures are affected - if it is only one, the blockage is close to it; if it is several, or the lowest fixture in the house is backing up, the problem is in the main line. Second, stop running water into it. Every extra litre has to go somewhere, and in a blocked line that somewhere is usually a floor. If more than one fixture is affected, do not keep using the others. Water you put down a sink has to leave somewhere, and with the main line blocked it will find the lowest opening in the house. Turning off the washing machine mid-cycle is worth doing.

What happens when we arrive

When we arrive we locate the inspection opening and assess which part of the system is affected before anything is cut or lifted. The jetter clears the blockage; the camera then goes through the cleared line so you can see what caused it. You get shown the footage, and if the pipe is sound we say so and leave it alone.

After the job

You should know what was wrong, what we did about it and what to watch for. That is the standard, regardless of the size of the job.

How we quote

On Belmont jobs the quote comes before the work. If what we find does not match what we expected, you hear about it before anything else happens.

What affects the price

Pipe relining costs more than a clear and less than excavation, and it suits cracked or root-damaged sections rather than fully collapsed ones. Which applies is visible on the footage, not a judgement call. Depth and length matter. A blockage two metres from the fixture is a different job from one twenty-five metres out near the connection, and the quote reflects the equipment and the time rather than a flat rate.

How we do it

We clear the blockage and then show you the pipe. If it is sound, we say so and leave it alone.

Preventive work in Belmont

Preventive work matters more here than in most suburbs. With Bulimba Creek taking the local runoff, a stormwater pit full of leaves is the difference between a wet lawn and water through a doorway.

Approvals and compliance

Because Belmont is in the Brisbane City Council area, sewer and stormwater connections need council sign-off. We arrange it.

Belmont is covered by the Chandler ward, which matters for any work in the verge or the street rather than on the block.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Blocked stormwater pits, downpipes and surface drains are a separate problem from sewer and we handle both.

Usually not. Most blockages clear with jetting and the camera decides the rest. We only recommend excavation when the footage shows the pipe itself has failed, and you see that footage first.

Yes. The camera footage is shown to you before we recommend anything beyond the clear. You should not be asked to approve work you cannot see the reason for.

Most clears are done within the visit. A camera inspection afterwards adds a little time and is what tells you whether it will happen again.

We provide the report, photographs and cause-of-damage detail insurers ask for. What the policy covers is between you and them, but the documentation will not be the holdup.

We quote before work begins and we do not revise it mid-job without talking to you first. If we find something unexpected, you decide what happens next.

Emergency work in Belmont is not limited to business hours. Call the number on this page and tell us what is happening; we will tell you straight away whether it can wait until morning.
