What we find in Wakerley

Ground-level shower leaks are slow and quiet, which is what makes them expensive.

Wakerley in detail

Wakerley's 4.9 sq km carry roughly 1,779 people per sq km: standard suburban density, mixed housing stock.

Getting access in Wakerley

Access in Wakerley is rarely the issue - there is room to park and room to work. The distance from the street to the fault is what takes the time.

Getting to Wakerley

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. Manly West, Ransome, Gumdale and Belmont 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. 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

The clear itself is usually the quick part. What takes the time is establishing why it happened, and that is the part that stops you calling us again in six months.

After the job

Every job ends with the same thing: an explanation of what failed and why, and an honest view of whether it is likely to happen again. That is the part that decides whether you need us back.

How we quote

We price Wakerley 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

We quote the clear before we start. If the camera then shows the pipe has failed, that is a separate conversation with its own price, and you decide whether to go ahead rather than finding it on the invoice. Repeat blockages cost more over time than fixing the cause once. If the camera shows roots at a joint, we will give you the price for cutting them now and the price for relining the section, and be straight about which one you will be paying again.

How we do it

We establish which of the three problems you have - drainage, leak or pressure - before touching anything, because each leads somewhere different and only one might involve tiles.

Preventive work in Wakerley

Most Wakerley 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 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.

Administratively, Wakerley belongs to the Chandler ward - relevant whenever a job reaches past the property boundary.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

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.

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.

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 Wakerley tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.

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.
