New drains, stormwater drainage and sewer drainage done properly
Drainage is one of those jobs that needs to be planned correctly from the start. A poor fall, undersized pipe, bad discharge point, missed vent, blocked pit or rushed trench can lead to pooling water, odours, repeat blockages, damp areas and expensive rework.
JR Gas & Water helps homeowners, builders, renovators and property managers with practical drainage plumbing solutions. Whether you need a new stormwater line, a sewer drainage connection, drainage for a renovation, or a fix for water sitting around the yard, we can review the site and quote the right scope.

Stormwater drainage
Stormwater plumbers for downpipes, pits and yard drainage
Poor stormwater drainage can leave water pooling around paths, slabs, gardens, retaining walls, driveways and foundations. In heavy rain, undersized or poorly connected stormwater systems can quickly become a bigger property problem.
We can help with stormwater drainage upgrades, new downpipe connections, stormwater pits, surface drains, channel drains and practical discharge solutions for residential sites.
Downpipe connections
Connect roof downpipes to suitable stormwater lines, pits or approved discharge points so water is taken away correctly.
Stormwater pits
Install or upgrade stormwater pits where surface water needs to be collected before being directed away.
Surface and channel drains
Help manage water across driveways, patios, side paths, courtyards, shed areas and outdoor spaces.
Yard drainage
Practical drainage improvements for wet lawns, low spots, garden beds, side access paths and areas that stay boggy after rain.
Sewer drainage
Sewer drainage and sanitary drainage plumbing
Sewer and sanitary drainage needs the right fall, pipe sizing, connection points, venting and overflow relief. This is especially important when adding a bathroom, moving a toilet, building a granny flat, changing a kitchen or renovating a laundry.

Problem drainage
Common drainage problems we help solve
Drainage issues often start small and get worse over time. If water is sitting where it should not, or fixtures are slow to drain, it is worth getting the issue assessed before it causes damage or repeat callouts.
Water pooling around the property
Standing water near paths, walls, slabs, gardens or driveways can point to poor surface drainage or missing stormwater capture.
Downpipes discharging badly
Downpipes that dump water at ground level or into poor locations can create erosion, damp areas and foundation concerns.
Slow drains or recurring blockages
Repeated drainage problems may be caused by poor fall, damaged pipework, root intrusion, sags, undersized pipe or bad connections.
Renovation drainage surprises
Moving fixtures without checking drainage early can create costly changes once demolition or fit-out is underway.
Our process
How our drainage quoting process works
Drainage work is site-specific, so we focus on understanding the layout before recommending a solution.
Send photos, plans or site details
Upload photos of the drainage area, downpipes, pits, fixtures, problem spots and any plans or sketches you already have.
We review the drainage scope
We consider likely connection points, fall, access, excavation, pipe route, stormwater discharge and any renovation or builder requirements.
You receive clear pricing
We provide a practical quote with inclusions, assumptions and any details that may need confirmation before work starts.
We complete the drainage work
Once approved, we complete the pipework, connections, testing and relevant drainage work based on the agreed scope.
Cost and quote factors
How much does drainage plumbing cost?
Drainage plumbing costs depend on the type of drain, length of run, depth, access, soil conditions, existing service locations, number of connection points, concrete or paving impacts, required pits, pipe sizing, available fall and whether the job is sewer, stormwater or both.
A simple downpipe connection is very different from a new sewer drainage run across a difficult block. The best way to get accurate pricing is to send photos, plans and any known service information so we can quote the actual scope.
Longer runs and deeper trenches generally increase labour and excavation requirements
Concrete, paving, rock, retaining walls or limited access can affect pricing
Stormwater pits, channel drains and surface drainage may add material and setout costs
Sewer drainage may require vents, ORGs, testing or compliance steps
Clear photos and site plans help reduce assumptions in the quote
