Plumbing in Jindalee
A Guide to Jindalee Plumbing
Jindalee sits beside the Brisbane River in the city's south-west, one of the Centenary suburbs alongside Mount Ommaney, Westlake and Middle Park, and part of the Brisbane City Council area. Most homes are detached houses on established, tree-filled blocks, and many have been extended or renovated over the years, so original sections and newer bathrooms often sit side by side.
Gutters, downpipes and stormwater
Mature trees are part of Jindalee's appeal, but leaves, seeds and twigs end up in gutters and downpipes. When a gutter blocks, water backs up and can find its way into eaves, walls and garages. In September we cleared a front deck gutter, refixed a section that had dropped off its clip and checked the roof edges, where we found likely leaks at the flashing and referred the owner to a roof tiler. We will always tell you when a problem belongs to another trade.
Renovation plumbing done in stages
A bathroom or laundry renovation needs plumbing at three points: before demolition to make everything safe, after framing to rough in drainage and water, and at the end to fit off fixtures. On a Jindalee extension completed in July we did all three, including new drainage and water lines under the house. We confirm rough-in heights on site with your builder against the fixtures you have chosen, supply the standard pipework, valves and traps to connect them, and test every connection before we hand over.
Water supply in Jindalee
Urban Utilities maintains the water main and meter in Jindalee. Problems on the street side of the meter are theirs. Anything from the meter to your home, including taps, toilets, hot water and drains, needs a licensed plumber. If your water bill jumps without an obvious reason, a hidden leak after the meter is worth ruling out, and we can check that for you.
