Yes. In a house raised on stumps, most of the pipes run under the floor where we can see and reach them, so finding a leak or replacing a length of pipe often doesn't mean cutting into a wall. The catch is that older pipes can be past their best. A look underneath shows what pipe you've got and what state it's in.
Some older houses still have galvanised steel water pipes. They rust from the inside, which narrows the pipe and cuts your water pressure, a bit more every year. Once a galvanised pipe has rusted inside, replacing it is usually the only real fix.
Building in underneath is a common way to add a bathroom or laundry to a raised house. The plumbing question is whether the new drains can fall to the sewer from that lower level, so it pays to know how deep the sewer connection is before your builder locks in the floor plan. We rough in before the slab and walls go in, and fit off at the end.
On the edges of Nambour, some properties run on rainwater tanks instead of town water. If yours does, tell us when you ring. It changes which filter we'd suggest, and it means your water pressure comes from a pump rather than the mains. Most filters deal with grit, taste and smell, not germs. If you want your tank water treated for germs as well, UV is the usual way to do it.
Old taps that won't stop dripping, toilets that run, and lengths of rusted pipe under the house replaced with new.
Storage tanks, heat pumps and solar, installed, repaired, replaced or moved when you build in underneath.
New bathrooms and laundries built in under a raised house, and renovations upstairs. Rough-in first, fit-off at the end.
Sinks, toilets and sewer lines that keep blocking. We put a camera down the line to find the cause, like tree roots or a cracked pipe.
Under-sink drinking water filters on town water, and filters for properties running on tank water.Professional and efficient. Chris did a great job with the plumbing for our bathroom.
Very happy with Chris’s work. Easy to contact, responsive to messages. When things didn’t quite go to plan he went the extra mile to give us a good result.

Chris installed my plumbing in my newly renovated ensuite including a mixer in the shower and basin. He also installed a brand new Gas Stove including all the piping and did a great job. He was prompt and easy to deal with and has high attention to detail. Super happy with his work

Ring 0413 291 781 or send the quote form. If the job is under the house, tell us how much room there is to get under the floor and whether there's a hatch or a way in from outside. That tells us how long the job will take, which means a firmer price.
We'll give you a day and a time, on a weekday between 7:30am and 4:30pm.
Tell us what's going on, and whether the plumbing is under the house or in the walls. Ring 0413 291 781, Monday to Friday.
