Camp Hill in detail

Getting access in Camp Hill

Camp Hill properties often need more than a van and a toolbox to reach - permits, fobs, lifts. We plan for it if you tell us.

Getting to Camp Hill

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. Our Camp Hill runs also take in Seven Hills, Carina, Carina Heights and Holland Park.

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. 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

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

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 Camp Hill 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

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. What a drain job costs comes down to three things: how far along the line the blockage sits, whether the inspection opening can be reached without excavating to find it, and whether the pipe itself has failed. The first two we can usually assess on the phone. The third needs the camera, and we do not quote relining or excavation until you have seen the footage that justifies it.

How we do it

We test the waste separately from the membrane. A great many suspected waterproofing failures turn out to be a failed shower waste.

Approvals and compliance

Brisbane City Council is the assessing authority here. Notifiable plumbing work still has to be lodged, and anything touching the sewer or stormwater connection needs the right approval before it starts.

The Coorparoo ward covers Camp Hill, which is who we lodge with for anything on council land.

Frequently asked questions

Sometimes. It depends on whether the failure is the seal, the waste, or the waterproofing membrane behind the tiles. We establish which before anyone talks about demolition.

Lifting tiles, swollen skirtings, a musty smell, or a damp patch on the other side of the wall. Any of those is worth a flood test.

Usually a dry or partially blocked trap letting sewer gas through, or build-up in the waste. Both are quick to resolve.

We block the waste and hold water in the shower base to see whether it escapes. It distinguishes a failed waste from a failed membrane, which are very different repairs.
