Serving Runaway Bay
Plumbing for Runaway Bay canal homes
Runaway Bay is built on the canal system running off the Broadwater, and most of the housing went in through the seventies and eighties. That combination sets the work: fittings and fixtures that have spent forty years in salt air, and drainage that has to be planned around a water table sitting close to the surface and moving with the tide.
The ground here is sand rather than the heavy clay we deal with up around Helensvale, so water moves through it differently. It drains away faster, but a canal-side block can still sit wet, because there is nowhere underneath it for the water to go.

Why Runaway Bay homeowners choose Walter & Co
On a canal block the discharge point matters more than anywhere else on the Coast. Get the fall wrong and you have built a drain that fills up at high tide instead of emptying. We work out the levels before anything goes in the ground, and if a sump and pump is the honest answer we say so rather than selling you a gravity line that will not do the job.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering your Runaway Bay plumbing questions.
It does, and it is the thing most often missed. The water table sits high and moves with the tide, so a drain that looks fine on paper can end up holding water instead of shifting it. The levels have to be worked out first.
Salt air. It works away on exposed metal year after year, so on a Runaway Bay home you tend to see valves, fittings and outdoor taps give up earlier than they would a few suburbs inland.
Yes. We cover Runaway Bay and the surrounding Broadwater suburbs, on the same pricing as the rest of our Gold Coast work.
