Body corporate and strata plumbing in Brisbane

Start with the affected area

You do not need to solve the whole building before calling. Tell us where the issue is showing up and what is happening now.

Water through a ceiling on level three. A drain overflowing near the bin room. No hot water in a common amenity. Those details give us a real starting point.

Include the unit, common area, plant room, riser or outside area if you know it. If you do not, tell us the nearest landmark or the part of the building where people are seeing the problem. A resident who can show us the issue is often more useful than a long email chain.

For active leaks, sewage overflows or another urgent plumbing problem, use emergency plumbing. Give us the building address and the best person to speak with on site.

Plumbing work around occupied buildings

Strata buildings are lived in. That changes the way work needs to be done.

A pipe may run above a bedroom ceiling. A drain may pass through a car park. The shut-off point could be behind a locked door. We are used to working around residents, lifts, loading areas and busy building periods.

Tell us if there are keys, visitor parking, a concierge, a site manager or a time when the area needs to stay clear. We will use the details to plan the visit properly.

If water is near electrical equipment or a ceiling looks unsafe, keep people clear and call for urgent help.

What we can help with

Leaks and burst pipes

Visible water, damp patches and pipe failures need a proper look. We can attend to the immediate issue, find the likely source and set out the repair work needed.

See leak detection and burst pipes for more on leak work.

Blocked drains

Slow drains, toilet blockages and overflows are common calls in apartment buildings. We can clear the blockage, investigate a repeat issue or scope the drain repair separately.

Go to blocked drains if that is the problem on this one.

Hot water and gas fitting

We handle hot water faults, leaking units, replacements and gas work across strata properties. The system location and the affected area are the main things to send through.

See hot water or gas fitting.

Backflow and planned maintenance

We can also help with backflow devices and regular plumbing maintenance around the building. This suits properties with recurring trouble spots or several items that need attention over time.

See backflow testing in Brisbane and planned maintenance.

A straight path for the work

The first visit is about the condition at the building. We will look at the issue, explain what we have found and tell you what needs doing next.

Sometimes that is a repair on the spot. Sometimes the next piece needs more investigation, parts or a return visit. We keep those conversations plain so the manager can pass on useful information without trying to translate plumbing terms.

For a larger issue, it helps to keep the immediate fix and later work separate. That way residents know what is happening now and the building has a clear picture of the next piece.

A good strata plumber needs to be comfortable in the building, not just under the sink. We turn up ready to work around the people using the place.

Helpful details to send

A few useful facts will get the conversation off the ground:

• building address and affected area
• what residents or staff can see
• whether water, waste or hot water is involved
• the best on-site contact
• any hard access or busy times
• photos if they show the issue clearly

Do not worry if some details are missing. Send what you have and we will talk it through.
