What we find in Drewvale

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

Drewvale in detail

At roughly 1,086 people per sq km over 4.4 sq km, Drewvale has room. Longer sewer and stormwater runs across a block are part of the picture here.

Getting access in Drewvale

Blocks in Drewvale are generous, which usually means clear access but a longer walk from the van to the problem. We bring what the job needs rather than making two trips.

Getting to Drewvale

Stretton, Karawatha, Berrinba and Browns Plains are all on our regular runs, so neighbouring streets get the same response.

Before you call us

It is worth checking the overflow relief gully before you call - the grated drain outside, usually near the bathroom wall. If it is overflowing, that is the system doing its job, protecting the inside of the house, and it tells us the blockage is in the main sewer line rather than the fixture. Mentioning it on the phone changes what we bring. 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 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

We will tell you if something we noticed is worth attention, and we will tell you if it is not urgent. Both are useful and only one of them sells work.

How we quote

We quote before we start, in Drewvale 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. 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 The third needs the camera, and we do not quote relining or excavation until you have seen the footage that justifies it.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

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 Drewvale

Most Drewvale emergencies had a warning. Servicing the hot water system, clearing the stormwater and acting on a slow drain removes most of them.

Approvals and compliance

Brisbane City Council assesses plumbing work in Drewvale under the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code. Lodgement is part of what we do, not an extra.

Council-side, Drewvale sits in the Calamvale ward. We deal with that office on anything beyond the meter.

Frequently asked questions

Usually hair and soap build-up in the waste, sometimes a sag or blockage further down the line. If clearing the waste does not fix it, the problem is past the trap and needs a camera.

Often. Wastes, mixers, cartridges and screen seals are all repaired without touching the tiling. Only a failed membrane requires more.

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.

We quote the job before we start, so the price you agree to is the price on the invoice. Ask on the phone and we will tell you what the attendance costs before we leave the depot.

Usually yes. We carry the common washers, cartridges and spindles, so most Drewvale tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.

Yes. Where the fault sits in common property we identify that early so you are not paying for work the body corporate is responsible for.
