Plumbing Services in Thornlands

Thornlands is one of the Redlands’ fastest-growing suburbs — a blend of established acreage homes, modern estates, and family-friendly developments near the bay. With its rolling terrain, clay-based soil, and mix of new and older plumbing systems, Thornlands properties demand local expertise to keep water flow, drainage, and fixtures running reliably.

JR Gas & Water has proudly serviced Thornlands, Cleveland, Victoria Point, and Alexandra Hills for years — helping homeowners, builders, and developers with everything from blocked drains and leaking taps to full plumbing installations for new builds and renovations.

Thornlands’ variable ground conditions and stormwater runoff patterns often lead to common issues like blocked drains, cracked pipes, and pressure fluctuations. Our licensed team understands these challenges and delivers efficient, lasting plumbing solutions tailored to the area’s unique conditions.

Blocked Drains in Thornlands

Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in Thornlands, particularly in older properties or those surrounded by large trees. Reactive soils and high rainfall can cause drains to shift or collapse over time. JR Gas & Water uses CCTV drain inspection and high-pressure hydro-jetting to locate and clear blockages quickly, keeping your plumbing system in top shape.

Common drain issues we fix in Thornlands:

Tree roots breaking into old clay or PVC pipes
Collapsed or misaligned underground drains
Stormwater overflow after heavy rain
Sediment or grease build-up in traps and gullies
Blocked toilets and slow internal drainage

For ongoing issues, we can reline or replace damaged sections to restore proper drainage and prevent future blockages.

Leaking Taps, Toilets & Fixtures

Even newer Thornlands homes can suffer from leaks caused by pressure variation, mineral build-up, or worn seals. Our plumbers repair and replace all fixtures with water-efficient, durable fittings that perform well in local conditions.

We repair and replace:

Dripping or hard-to-turn taps and mixers
Constantly running toilets
Shower and bath fittings
Outdoor and garden taps
Water hammer or low pressure

All work is carried out to Australian Standards and covered by JR Gas & Water’s lifetime workmanship warranty.
