Location:
Earthenware Combine-Sewer Reline in Ascot
Timeframe:
3 Days
Description:
The job was a 40m x inversion sewer reline in Ascot for a builder doing a large house renovation. The old earthenware combine-sewer needed to be either renewed or relined to enable certification. Renewal wasn’t possible due to existing infrastructure, so relining was the way to go.
The client was happy that they were able to continue the renovation to connect new plumbing and drainage into the rehabilitated sewer.

We had an excellent experience with Emu plumbing. We had flooding into the wall of our house which Tony analysed and realised was due to inadequate and blocked stormwater drains. The solution was comprehensive and we haven’t had a problem since despite heavy rains. They have also helped with other drainage solutions previously. Professional, trustworthy and friendly service.

We have been using Emu Plumbing for over 7 years. Both for large commercial and domestic jobs. Given the nature of our businesses we rely heavily on quality trades, and Emu Plumbing sets the gold standard for service, reliability, workmanship and care - not only from the managers but all on the team no matter who I end up dealing with in the business. Coming from a background of being on the tools I know a team has their S#*t and these guys do, could not recommend them more highly.

Tyler came out and located the storm drain issue and his apprentice suggested a solution to the problem which I was very happy about. Will be using these guys again.

I have just had a half-hour conversation with Tony regarding an extremely stressful underground stormwater situation on a new build. Tony patiently assured me and laid out my options from worst to best scenario. Every scenario had a solution. What impressed me the most was that instead of taking advantage of my lack of knowledge in this area and pushing for unnecessary work, he did the opposite and advised me to take a wait and see approach over a couple of years. A true gentleman and an honest and knowledgeable tradesman. He went straight into my contact list for future work. Thanks Tony the construction industry needs more people like you!

Tony and his crew relined 4 sections of a sewer line. Their hi-res camera revealed that roots had penetrated sections that had been damaged by external causes and a botched patch job many years ago, started disintegrating. Emu guys were great because they oozed confidence in their approach and their execution. They answered all my questions, and their quote was competitive. Highly recommended. And best of all, the garden is untouched and roots are not to blame for the original cause.

Our plumbers had recommended Emu Plumbing as the best in the relining business. The Emu team arrived, promptly commenced work, and completed it with a friendly and approachable professionalism over 7 hours. Their quote was competitive, detailed and inclusive of explanation on how the process would be undertaken without excavation, allowing us to feel comfortable from the get-go.
The work was to repair and reline our main stormwater line under our concrete house slab, their investigation found damage had occurred during the concrete pour some 25 years prior. Luckily, we'd not had significant issues during these years, just a slow build-up in hefty storms. With our job successfully completed, we now feel assured that we can handle any stormwater that comes our way..... good work, Tony and the Emu team.

Tony and the Emu team repaired and relined some underslab pipes that had stakes put through it on a new build. Tony was very responsive and even worked with me on potential fixes for other issues that i had. His team rectified the broken pipes and relined them to an extremly high standard on time and on budget.
Tony provided before and after photos which was great and provided excellent reassurance that the work had been completed as required. Would not hesitate to use Emu plumbing again and even my builder has saved Emu's details as he was unaware this type of repair was possible.
Would recommend to anyone for prompt and profressional service.

Today we had Tyler from Emu Plumbing come out to our address in Coorparoo. He was courteous, helpful and fixed our issue without to much fuss. But what impressed us the most is the fact he cleaned up the mess created and went the extra yard to leave our site spotless. We really appreciate the way he went about his business before, during and especially after. Later that night, we had the guys from Urban Utilities to fix up the issue in the mains. They even commented on how the plumber cleaned. Thanks Tyler.... Tony W - Coorparoo

I called Emu Plumbing to fix a broken pipe that was causing my stormwater to flood my neighbours yard.
They came out, fix a problem, when it was discovered that there was another issue they fixed it no charge.
Great to see a company these days taking responsibility for they workmanship.
Thank you Tony and the team!

Niles & Jason were on time, professional and left the site clean and tidy.
Can't recommend highly enough!

Tony and the team at Emu Plumbing are amazing! Emergency sewer issue - no problem. His team leader, Niles, turned up the next day. Friendly, approachable, great communication, knowledgeable and hard working. Caved in sewer line was jetted to clean & clear, patch inserted and cured, in the end a hard clean clear pipe - like new. Problem fixed same day, and at a very fair price. I can't recommend this company enough. Do yourself a favour and call them!

We were in a situation where we needed a gas technician to come and assess if there was a gas leak at our property where a previous technician has disconnected our gas cylinder and therefore had no gas for hot showers etc. The team at EMU were absolutely amazing and very helpful when I rang them and told them about our situation. A technician was organised to come out and he managed to fix the problem. It's nice to know that humanity still exists and that they helped as soon as they could, at a reasonable price too!
A huge Thank You to the great team at EMU (Shakira, Nials and Tony), we will definitely recommend your business to others as well!

The entire process from quotation to choosing tap ware, installation and completing job was seamless. Niles was very professional, on time and kept me posted the entire time he was doing the installation. He also left the bathrooms clean and tidy afterwards. We have used Emu plumbing a few times and each time the service and job is very well done. Good job Tony and the Emu team, keep up the great work.

Professional and polite tradesmen. Honest and upfront on saving me money by suggesting alternative solution (dig up ended up being cheaper than reline). Will definitely use them again in future.
I was impressed with them providing photos of the job as it progressed all packaged up.

Good Afternoon Tony,
Both Iréna and I wish to convey our most sincere thanks for you and your team's swift and professional resolution to our recent plumbing challenges. We could not praise Alistair and Niles more highly for their incredible technical capabilities, their client focus and their well developed interpersonal and communication skills. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with such a progressive organization as Emu Plumbing. What this rather long-running issue that we have been grappling with over several years, and having engaged numerous other "so-called plumbing professionals", has proven to us is that there are plumbers and then there is your team....in a league of your own!
Warm regards,
Richard and Iréna

Emu plumbing were the most prompt and competitive in pricing for an under slab pipe repair; which a few other companies actually declined as it was quite a complicated job. Tony from Emu Plumbing attended site with a "can do" attitude and completed the job after a long and tough day. I returned home to find the work area spotless. Thoroughly recommend Emu plumbing. Thank you so much for a hassle free pipe repair.

Tony from Emu plumbing restored my faith in people. I contacted him after being quoted $13K to fix our sewer line by another company. Tony spent time with me on the phone going through all possible options to address this issue more economically. He then offered to come and inspect the sewer line at no cost. It turned out we did not have to do anything. Tony has found in us a client for life instead of a quick buck. We would be recommending him to all our friends and family.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE
We had a particularly tricky job on a site with extremely difficult access. Tony and Niles quickly investigated and set forward to fix the issue. When plan A didn’t go exactly to plan Tony took full control and delivered a brilliant outcome. He arranged machine access through our fully landscaped property, went over and above to ensure the problem was fixed, and left our property almost as he found it. I am, and will continue to recommend Emu Plumbing for any re-line and general plumbing work. Their customer service second to none.

A massive thank you to Tony and the team at Emu. These guys were able to reline my sewer pipe that was underneath my house foundations. It was so much cheaper than the other quotes I had from the other businesses who were going to perform open heart surgery under my house to fix the pipe and create god knows how much mess. They turned up on time every time and cleaned up after themselves! Awesome work!

I needed to call an emergency plumber on a Saturday afternoon for issues at the office where I work in Kingsford Smith Drive in Eagle Farm. I called two local after-hours plumbers without success. Emu answered on the first ring although already busy with a job down the road. They estimated they would be finished with the current job and would be at the office by 4.30 pm which they were. They did a very thorough, excellent job, with photographic evidence, were very reasonably priced and very professional/ I would highly recommend them and use their services again without hesitation.

Challenges:
On the first day of the job we prepared the site which included a 15m inversion across the property, plus patch liner installation on a riser to house renovation.
Day 2, We installed a 25m inversion along property to rear boundary and remotely cut the branches from neighbouring properties into new liner.
On the final day we finished cutting branches required for the pool house and second riser to renovation. We then packed up and tidied work areas.
