Drainage plumbing contractor

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.

What we do

Drainage plumbing for homes, renovations and site works

We can assist with a wide range of drainage work, from simple downpipe connections through to more involved below-ground drainage projects. The right drainage solution depends on your site levels, existing services, soil conditions, available fall, access and where water or waste needs to discharge.

Stormwater drainage

New stormwater lines, downpipe connections, stormwater pits, surface drainage, channel drains and yard drainage upgrades.

Sewer and sanitary drainage

Sanitary drainage for toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, granny flats, renovations, new fixtures and service extensions.

Drainage for renovations

Drainage alterations for bathroom renovations, kitchen renovations, laundries, outdoor kitchens, extensions and layout changes.

New builds and secondary dwellings

Drainage support for new homes, granny flats, studios, sheds, demountables and other residential building projects.

Drainage repairs and upgrades

Practical drainage repairs where pipes, pits, fall, connections or discharge points are causing recurring issues.

Excavation and reinstatement

Trenching, pipe installation, backfilling and coordination around concrete cutting or reinstatement where required.

New drains

New drainage installation and drainage extensions

New drains may be needed when you are adding fixtures, building a new structure, renovating a wet area, improving stormwater discharge or replacing a failed drainage section. We can help plan and install drainage that suits the layout and complies with the required plumbing standards.

  • New sewer drainage for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and toilets
  • New stormwater lines for roof water, downpipes, sheds and outdoor areas
  • Drainage extensions for granny flats, studios, renovations and additions
  • Drainage setout for fixtures, wastes, vents and connection points
  • Below-ground pipework, trenching and backfill planning
  • Connection to suitable existing services where compliant and practical

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.

  • Sanitary drainage for toilets, basins, showers, baths, kitchens and laundries
  • Drainage alterations for bathroom and kitchen renovations
  • Sewer connections for new fixtures, extensions and secondary dwellings
  • Overflow relief gully and venting requirements where applicable
  • Testing, commissioning and compliance support for completed drainage work

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
