What we find in Sinnamon Park

Ground-floor showers leak downwards into the floor structure. The damage is hidden and gradual, and the smell often arrives before the evidence.

Sinnamon Park in detail

The Brisbane River shapes the local drainage. Low-lying blocks near it see surcharge first when the rain is heavy enough.

Getting access in Sinnamon Park

Sinnamon Park properties generally have good access. Gates, dogs and where the water meter sits are the three things worth mentioning when you book.

Getting to Sinnamon Park

It is a regular run for us, and we quote a real arrival window rather than a hopeful one. Our Sinnamon Park runs also take in Fig Tree Pocket, Seventeen Mile Rocks, Darra and Jamboree Heights.

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. 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

Once the line is clear we run water through it properly to confirm it flows along its full length, not just at the fixture. A clear that has not been tested is not finished.

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

Pricing on Sinnamon Park jobs is settled before the work begins. We do not revise a quote mid-job without talking to you first, and you decide what happens next.

What affects the price

Access drives the price more than people expect. An inspection opening at the boundary that we can lift and work from keeps a drain job short. One that has been paved over, built on or never installed adds time before any clearing starts. 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

Mixer cartridges are replaced rather than the whole fitting where the body is sound. That is usually the cheaper and better answer.

Preventive work in Sinnamon Park

In Sinnamon Park, clearing gutters, downpipes and stormwater pits ahead of storm season is cheap insurance. the Brisbane River only takes what reaches it.

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.

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.

Yes. Where the body is sound, replacing the cartridge or the mixer alone is cheaper and less disruptive than a full refit.

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.

For water, the mains tap at the meter. For gas, the valve at the meter, and no naked flames. Tell us what you have shut off when you call.

For common work we will give you a range on the phone and a fixed price once we have seen it. We do not start without you agreeing to the number.

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.
