Commercial Plumbing, Vacuum Excavation and Jetting Across South East Queensland

Maintenance plumbers for schools, shopping centres, government and commercial sites. Our own vac truck and big-capacity jetting units, fixed pricing, and a crew that has been doing this for 14 years.

What we do on commercial sites

  • Commercial maintenance plumbing. Scheduled and reactive plumbing for sites that stay open while we work.
  • Non-destructive excavation. Our own vac truck exposes live services without a bucket going near them.
  • Commercial jetting. High-pressure drain cleaning for kitchen lines, carpark drains and stormwater mains.
  • Backflow testing. Annual testing, repairs and lodgement so your site stays compliant.
  • Stormwater pits and drains. We suck out silt-filled pits and clear the lines that feed them.
  • Blocked drains and water leaks. Found with a camera, fixed once, recorded properly.

Who you are dealing with

Affinity Plumbing Solutions is run by Collin Strydom, who has been on the tools for 26 years and still is. The person who quotes your job is usually the one who turns up to do it.

We work business to business, and that is deliberate. Contracts with QBuild, TAFE Queensland and a long list of schools, maintenance for Woolworths and Aldi stores, shopping centres, body corporates and industrial sites. We do not do domestic work, so the crew is set up for occupied buildings, purchase orders and compliance paperwork.

Our trucks, not hired ones

We bought the gear so we would never wait on a subcontractor’s diary. Everything below is ours and the operator turning up already knows how to run it.

Commercial plumbing services in Brisbane

Affinity operates as a commercial drainage contractor as much as a general maintenance outfit, so the drainage and compliance lines carry the most depth.

Water, Stormwater & Drainage

Blocked drains, burst mains, pits and detention systems, sewer and stormwater repairs.

Commercial Hot Water

Gas, electric, solar and heat pump plant, plus hot water safety plans and TMV servicing.

Roofing and Guttering

Box gutters, overflows and flashings sized for Queensland storms.

Fire Mains, Hydrants and Hose Reels

Flow testing, repairs and upgrades to AS 2419.1. Sprinklers are outside our scope.

Fit-outs and Maintenance

Backflow and TMV testing, asset registers and a fixed monthly maintenance plan.

Asset Management & Utility Savings

Hydraulic rough-in and fit-off for tenancies, kitchens and refurbishments.

Need It Fixed and Recorded Properly?

Tell us what’s on site, and we’ll book an attendance. Cause identified, options in writing, nothing done until you approve it.

Who we work for

Six sectors make up most of the work. A commercial plumber on a school site and an industrial plumber on a food production floor face different constraints.

Education

Schools, early learning centres, TAFE campuses and universities. Works timed to term breaks.

Retail and shopping centres

Supermarket maintenance, food court trade waste, carpark drainage, after-hours access.

Government

QBuild contracts, purchase order and request number systems, prequalification packs on request.

Strata and body corporate

Shared services staged so residents keep water while repairs run.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Trade waste, stormwater under truck roadways, planned night works.

Construction and civil

Potholing before you dig, mains water and stormwater installs, live tap-ins under water authority approval.

What we get called out for

On a commercial site the cost of a plumbing fault is downtime, so the first job is containment and the second is finding the cause.

Blocked commercial drain or sewer

Camera first, then jetting or eel depending on the line. Cleared properly, not pushed further down the system.

Water leak or burst main. Isolate, locate, repair

If the floor has no isolation valve we add one while the ceiling is open.

Stormwater pit full of silt

Sucked out with the vac truck, then the line jetted so it drains next storm.

Grease trap overflow

Usually a kitchen running past its pump-out interval. We clear it and tell you the interval that will stop it happening again.

Hot water failure

If the same unit keeps failing we look at water chemistry and valves before blaming the age of the unit.

Failed backflow device, hydrant or hose reel

Compliance defects repaired to standard so the building is not carrying an open item.

Gas leak or failed gas appliance

Isolation, leak detection and certification by a licensed gas fitter before anything is turned back on.

Sewer overflow

A blocked sewer gets contained and cleared first, then reported with the cause identified and recorded.

Strike risk

The most expensive excavation is the one that hits a service nobody drew. We pothole first.

How a job runs

STEP 01

Call or enquiry

You tell us what is on site, we assess urgency against what is booked and give you an attendance time before the call ends.

STEP 02

Site attendance

Cause identified before a quote is written. Crews that only work from drawings stall when the drawing is wrong.

STEP 03

Fixed price in writing

Where the regulations allow more than one compliant fix, you get the choice. Nothing proceeds until you approve it.

STEP 04

Done and documented

Invoice and Job Safety Analysis issued together, carrying your job, request and purchase order numbers.

What Facility Managers Tell Us

“Affinity potholed the whole run in a day and we poured on schedule. Easiest part of the job.”
Mark Talbot
· Site Manager, Meridian Built
“They’ve held our maintenance contract for three years. Reports arrive same day and I’ve never had to chase an invoice query.”
Leanne Prior
· Facilities Manager, Northgate FM
“Their hydrovac crew exposed live fibre and gas without a scratch. The inspector signed off on the spot.”
David Rennie
· Project Manager, CoreCivil
“All works were staged through the school holidays and the site was spotless before term started. Zero disruption.”
Sarah Meng
· Business Manager, St Aidan's College

“Relined 40 metres of common-property sewer without lifting a single tile. Levy-friendly price too.”

Tony Barone
· Committee Chair, Cascade Strata

“Burst main at 8pm, road open by 6am. That phone call is why they keep our emergency work.”

Greg Hoolihan
· Depot Supervisor, civil contractor

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our commercial plumbing, drainage, and asset management services.

No. We work on commercial, retail, education and government sites only. For a house, a domestic plumber is the right call.

Response time is confirmed on the call itself. Maintenance contract clients are allocated ahead of general enquiries, and we plan night works where a site cannot be shut during the day.

Gold Coast, Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast. Sites outside that are taken case by case.

High-pressure water breaks up the soil and a vacuum lifts it out, so live services are exposed without a blade going near them. We use it anywhere a strike would be expensive or dangerous, or where the as-built drawings cannot be trusted.

Testable backflow prevention devices are tested annually by a licensed plumber with the endorsement, and the result is lodged with the water authority. We run TMV servicing on the same visit.
Yes. Every invoice goes out with a Job Safety Analysis and your job, request and purchase order numbers. Where a camera has been run, you get the footage and the pipework map as well.
That is the standard arrangement. We hold current QBCC licensing and public liability cover, and can supply insurances and ticket records for a prequalification pack.
You get told before it is touched. Additional work is priced separately and does not proceed until it is approved.
