What we fix in Hawthorne

Pick the Problem, We Will Sort It

Each of these is a job we have done in Hawthorne. The cause is not always where the water shows up.

  • A pipe has burst or been cut

    Split lines and pipes nicked during building work, stopped and repaired.

  • Water sitting around the house

    Blocked downpipes and full pits can push water under a house.

  • Toilet leaking or running

    Water around the pan or a cistern that never stops filling.

  • New mixer to go in

    Owner supplied tapware fitted and tested for leaks.

  • Hot water playing up

    A relief valve dripping onto the ground or lukewarm showers.

  • Damp patch, no obvious leak

    Moisture in a garage or wall traced before anything is pulled apart.

Before We Get to Hawthorne

  1. 01

    Find the meter and shut it

    Most Hawthorne meters sit near the front boundary. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops and the flow should drop away.

  2. 02

    Mop up and move valuables

    Lift rugs, boxes and electrical items off wet floors, and put a bucket under any drip from above.

  3. 03

    Take a few photos

    Snap the leak and any damage before the clean up. It helps us quote and it helps if you claim on insurance.

Hawthorne 4171

We Find the Cause

Hawthorne is a riverside suburb in Brisbane's inner east, bordered by Bulimba, Balmoral and Norman Park, with New Farm just across the water. It is part of Brisbane City Council, and its streets mix character homes, renovated houses with extensions underneath, and newer townhouses. When a house has been lifted, built in under or extended, the plumbing and drainage often get rearranged too, and that is where a lot of the problems we see in Hawthorne begin.

When the damp is not a leaking pipe

One Hawthorne job this year shows why we diagnose first. Moisture was coming into a garage and under the stairs. Rather than guess, Joseph ran a drain camera through the stormwater lines from several access points and used a locator to map where each one went. The answers were all outside the house: blocked downpipes discharging onto the ground, a side pit that had been full for a long time, a broken tank overflow, a dripping hot water relief valve and air conditioning drains all wetting the same corner. The owner got a clear report and a plan, rather than a new pipe that would not have fixed anything.

Fast when it matters

Other Hawthorne calls cannot wait for a report. A burst pipe in the evening, a water line cut during other work or a toilet leaking across a bathroom floor all need someone to stop the water first. We offer an after-hours emergency service, we confirm any call-out fee on the phone before we come, and once the water is isolated you get a fixed price for the repair.

Everyday upgrades

Not everything is urgent. Plenty of Hawthorne owners buy their own tapware and just want it fitted properly, or want a running cistern sorted before the next water bill. The small jobs come with the same lifetime workmanship guarantee as the big ones. For anything on the street side of your water meter, Urban Utilities is the authority to contact. Everything from the meter to your taps is ours to look after.
