What goes wrong
in Pine Mountain.
Pine Mountain is a rural-residential area north of Brassall and the Warrego Highway, with acreage, hobby farms and a small school community. Homes are typically on tank water and septic or treatment systems. Long distances between fixtures, tanks and pumps make fault-finding a different job from a suburban block.
Pine Mountain properties sit on larger blocks, usually with rainwater tanks and an on-site wastewater system in place of a sewer connection. Across long pipe runs, pumps and treatment systems, a blockage or leak can be almost anywhere. Guessing gets expensive fast.
The housing and its pipes
Acreage homes and hobby farms, from older farmhouses to recent builds.
100% of occupied homes in Pine Mountain are separate houses, so the drainage and stormwater on your block are almost certainly yours to maintain up to the connection point. The 2021 Census counted an average of 3.1 people per household in Pine Mountain, in homes averaging 3.9 bedrooms. Size a replacement hot water system to the household, whatever size the old tank was.
Drainage and stormwater
On-site wastewater treatment, rainwater tanks and long service lines, with surface drainage across paddocks and driveways.
Many Pine Mountain properties are not connected to the sewer network and rely on a septic tank or an on-site treatment system. Ipswich City Council regulates these systems and some work on them needs a licensed installer, so tell us which one you have.
