About Austin Plumbing<\/span><\/h1>\n

I'm a plumber with over 20 years of experience, proudly calling Cairns my home.<\/p>\n

My journey in plumbing began with an apprenticeship.<\/p>\n

I love every moment I spend here in Cairns. When I'm not fixing pipes, you'll likely find me casting a line into the waters, indulging in my love for fishing. I take my boat out to explore the beautiful waterways. Camping is another way I connect with nature, making the most of the amazing places Cairns has to offer.<\/p>\n

At home, my partner in life, Amanda, is a talented hairdresser who adds her flair to our Cairns story. Together, we embrace the community and everything that makes living in Cairns special.<\/p>\n

Blocked Sewers & Stormwater Drains<\/span><\/h1>\n

Storm water plumbing is crucial here in Cairns, our storm water in the tropics must deal with large amounts of seasonal monsoon rain and, during a flood event, our services become crucial. Regular cleaning of pipes, pits and gutters is essential to prevent blockages and flooding of your property.<\/p>\n

If your pits aren\u2019t draining and your gutter and down pipes are overflowing, you know your pipes are blocked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blocked sewers and stormwater drains can be caused by broken, squashed, back falling pipes, the infiltration of tree roots, toys, rocks and even other trades working on your property.<\/p>\n

A blocked stormwater drain can cause damage to your property and overflowing sewerage can be a safety and health risk to your family.<\/p>\n

Indication of blocked sewer and stormwater drains:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Storm water pits not draining<\/li>\n
  • Gutters overflowing<\/li>\n
  • Sewerage overflowing in the yard<\/li>\n
  • Toilets, shower, sink, laundry and basin backing up<\/li>\n
  • Floor waste in the shower and laundry backing up\/overflowing<\/li>\n
  • Unusual gurgling sounds from the drains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Sewer Inspection Camera<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Our state-of-the-art sewer inspection camera gives us a visual inspection of the interior of the pipe helping identify and locate blocked and damaged pipes from tree roots or cracked pipes from ground movement etc. The camera head also omits a signal from the pipe to a handheld locator on the surface giving us pinpoint accuracy getting us exactly where we need to be to repair the pipe helping save time and money.<\/p>\n

    High Pressure Jetter<\/span><\/h2>\n

    We have a high-pressure sewer jetter that can blast and clear roots, dirt, toys and debris from your sewer and storm water pipes getting them flowing properly again.<\/p>\n

      Burst Pipes & Leaks<\/span><\/h1>\n

      Burst water pipes can add significant cost to your council water bill if not dealt with promptly.<\/p>\n

      Indication of water leaks include \u2013 water meter spinning when all taps are off, wet spots in the yard not drying up, water seeping out from between or under slabs, water leaking out from internal walls, damp spots and the sound of water hissing when all taps are of.<\/p>\n

        Water Reruns Hot \/ Cold<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Sometimes it\u2019s more cost effective to rerun your water service than it is to keep repairing it . As every house is plumbed differently, I can look at options and consult you for the best way to rerun the water to your home if it\u2019s required. We have the equipment to work with all water pipe materials such as, copper, PVC, poly, pex pipe for example.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Leak Detection<\/span><\/h2>\n

        Sometimes leaks can be very difficult to locate. We have acoustic leak detection equipment that allows us to locate leak efficiently by\u00a0 pumping compressed air into the water pipe which amplifies the sound of the leak which then can be located with our listening device.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
