Worth knowing about Labrador

Early Labrador was often portrayed as mosquito swamp, crossed by creeks and streams. Many beachfront streets in this Gold Coast suburb were laid out in the 1950s, and 48.7% of homes are now semi-detached houses, terraces or townhouses. In a complex, one blocked line can affect several homes. We put people in Labrador in touch with a licensed local plumber when a drain blocks.

Most Labrador homes are townhouses, terraces or units. In a complex, the drains from several homes can join before they reach the sewer. A blockage can then show up in your yard even when it starts next door. Watch for a gurgling toilet, a slow shower or a smell near the outside gully. If you rent or live in a complex, tell the property manager or body corporate as well.

When you get in touch, have a few details ready. Note which fixtures are slow or backing up, when it started, and whether the neighbours have the same problem. Mention any past drain work you know about. With your permission, we’ll pass those details on to a licensed local plumber, so they know what to expect before they call you.
