0450 963 633Plumber in Bardon, Brisbane
Bardon sits in the foothills of Mount Coot-tha, between Paddington, Ashgrove and The Gap, and almost nothing here is flat. A plumber Bardon owners book has to plan sewer grades and pump stations around that slope. Houses cling to ridges along Jubilee Terrace and Simpsons Road or sit down in the gullies beside Ithaca Creek. The mix runs from 1880s and 1920s Queenslanders through to post-war brick homes and large modern rebuilds with pools cut into the slope. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, a few minutes away, and is the Bardon plumber for residential plumbing and drainage on those ridge and gully blocks. Plumbing services Bardon hillside houses need include sewer runs, stormwater and renovation work. Phone 0450 963 633.
Drains on a hillside
A Bardon sewer line often runs downhill under a neighbour’s yard to reach the main, or climbs uphill to a boundary trap with a pump doing the work. Either arrangement brings its own faults: roots in old clay joints on the downhill side, and worn pumps or alarms on the uphill side. We find out which you have before we start digging, and check property sewer plans with Urban Utilities, which supplies water and sewerage here.
Creek-side and gully blocks
Low-lying lots near Ithaca Creek and its branches collect a lot of stormwater from the streets above. Silted pits, broken stormwater pipe and downpipes that empty straight onto clay soil leave water ponding under the house. We repair and extend stormwater lines, install grated drains across driveways and make sure everything discharges to the kerb or an approved point.
Renovating an old Queenslander
When an old house is lifted or built under, the bathroom and laundry usually move downstairs. That means new waste lines, a new vent stack and often a fresh water supply in copper or PEX to replace galvanised pipe that has scaled up inside. We rough-in before the slab or floor goes down and come back for fit-off once the tiler has finished.
