What we find in Capalaba

On properties this size we check every shower, not just the one that prompted the call.

Capalaba in detail

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

Getting access in Capalaba

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

Getting to Capalaba

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. Birkdale, Alexandra Hills, Thornlands and Sheldon sit on the same daily routes as Capalaba.

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. 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.

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

The job finishes with a test, an explanation and any paperwork the work requires. All three, every time.

How we quote

We quote before we start, in Capalaba 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

You get the price before the work and the footage before any recommendation beyond the clear. Those two things together are what stop drain work turning into an open-ended bill. 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

Clearing a slow shower waste takes minutes. If that does not fix it the problem is further down the line and we camera it.

Preventive work in Capalaba

In Capalaba, clearing gutters, downpipes and stormwater pits ahead of storm season is cheap insurance. Tingalpa Creek only takes what reaches it.

Approvals and compliance

In Redland City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work both need council approval before it starts.

Frequently asked questions

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

Most often a blocked outlet or a failed cartridge in that mixer rather than a problem with the house supply. It is a quick thing to check and a cheap thing to fix.

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.

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.

We cover Birkdale, Alexandra Hills, Thornlands and Sheldon on the same runs, so a boundary address makes no difference to the response you get.

Notifiable work has to be lodged with Redland City Council, and anything connecting to sewer or stormwater needs approval first. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.

Yes. Gas work in Capalaba 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.
