What we find in Redland Bay

The Logan River shapes how fast water leaves this suburb. Silted pits and blocked downpipes stop it leaving at all.

Redland Bay in detail

The Logan River runs through the area. Properties near it deal with stormwater that has somewhere to go in a normal week and nowhere to go in a heavy one.

Getting access in Redland Bay

Redland Bay access is usually simple. Mention the gate, the dog and the meter location and we will be set.

Getting to Redland Bay

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. The same vans cover Victoria Point, Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Woongoolba and Alberton, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call us

Have a think about when it started and whether it has been getting worse. A drain that has been slow for months and has now stopped is a different job from one that blocked overnight, and the answer changes whether we expect roots, grease or an object. Stop using the affected fixtures until we arrive. A quick look outside helps. Find the inspection opening - usually a capped pipe at ground level near the boundary - and tell us whether you can see it and whether it is clear. If we can access it, the job is quicker and we are less likely to need to work inside.

What happens when we arrive

We bring the jetter, the camera and the locator to every drain job, so nothing waits on a second visit. Which of them we use depends on what the first few minutes show.

After the job

Every job ends with the same thing: an explanation of what failed and why, and an honest view of whether it is likely to happen again. That is the part that decides whether you need us back.

How we quote

We quote before we start, in Redland Bay as everywhere. You hear the number, you agree to it, and that is the number on the invoice. If we find something unexpected, we stop and tell you before continuing.

What affects the price

Clearing a blockage and repairing a broken pipe are very different numbers, and the camera is what separates them. A clear is a fixed, predictable job. A collapsed section is not, and we will not pretend otherwise before we have looked. We quote the clear before we start. If the camera then shows the pipe has failed, that is a separate conversation with its own price, and you decide whether to go ahead rather than finding it on the invoice.

How we do it

Clear first, camera second. Jetting shifts almost any blockage; the camera is what tells you whether the pipe itself has failed and whether this will happen again.

Preventive work in Redland Bay

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

Frequently asked questions

Cutting them clears the line now; they grow back to the same joint. Relining or replacing the damaged section is the permanent answer and the camera shows whether it is warranted.

A resin liner cured inside the existing pipe, forming a new pipe within the old one. It avoids excavation and suits cracked or root-damaged sections rather than fully collapsed ones.

No. They do not break down the way toilet paper does and they are the single most common cause of the blockages we clear. Nothing but toilet paper should go down a toilet.
