What we find in Spring Hill

One blockage is bad luck. Three is a diagnosis waiting to happen.

Spring Hill in detail

Density in Spring Hill is around 5,072 per sq km across 1.3 sq km. Expect shared waste stacks and common-property stormwater on a good share of jobs.

Getting access in Spring Hill

Access in Spring Hill is worth a sentence on the phone. Parking restrictions and shared entries change how we schedule the visit.

Getting to Spring Hill

You will get a straight answer about arrival time when you call. We work Herston, Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City as well, and treat a job on the edge of Spring Hill the same as one in the middle of it.

Before you call us

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. 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.

What happens when we arrive

We work from the outside in. It keeps the mess outside, it gets to the cause faster, and it means your bathroom is not a worksite while we diagnose.

After the job

When the work is finished you get told what we found, what we did and whether anything else is worth watching. If there is nothing, we say so - we would rather be the ones who told you the system was fine than the ones who found work that was not there.

How we quote

We price Spring Hill work up front and hold to it. The only time a number changes is when we have found something and told you about it first.

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. If the blockage turns out to be past your property's connection point, it is the council's line and their cost. We identify that and tell you rather than charging you for their pipe.

How we do it

Clear, test, and inspect where the history warrants it.

Preventive work in Spring Hill

Preventive work in Spring Hill is unglamorous and it is where the savings are: gutters and downpipes before the wet, hot water serviced on schedule, slow drains looked at early.

Approvals and compliance

Administratively, Spring Hill belongs to the Central ward - relevant whenever a job reaches past the property boundary.

Frequently asked questions

We would rather you did not. They can damage older pipework and they rarely clear a real blockage, which means you have paid for the chemical and still need the plumber.

Wipes that claim to be flushable, and too much paper at once. A toilet that blocks repeatedly usually has something structural behind it rather than a one-off.

Yes - a leaking cistern wastes a surprising amount of water continuously and the repair is usually a valve or a seal.

If it is the only toilet in the house, or if waste is overflowing, yes. If you have another bathroom and nothing is spilling, it can wait for a booked visit and cost you less.

Yes. We are QBCC licensed and insured, and work in Spring Hill is carried out to the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code with Brisbane City Council as the assessing authority.

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.

Yes. Gas work in Spring Hill is licensed work - appliance installation, leak testing and certification. If you can smell gas, turn it off at the meter and call before anything else.
