Clearing a Blocked Sewer for a Brisbane Couple in Need
Gavin from Turbo Plumbing Solutions here, coming to you on a weekend with a bit of an emergency job. Peter and his wife have a blocked sewer, and with both…
Excellent. Professional service and an excellent result. Gavin is highly experienced and delivered exactly what he said he would. I would have no hesitation in recommending Doran Plumbing for drain clearance and camera inspection.
Our experience with Gavin has been great. Received his contact details from a neighbour. We're very glad we made the call. His advice has been invaluable, communication superb, he's punctual and his workmanship is unquestioned. A fair price, for a great outcome.
I had Gavin at my home this morning to unblock a shower drain that was filled with tree roots. What a great guy. Honest, pleasant, and very knowledgeable. He immediately found the blockage and cleared it out for me. Fantastic service. Thank you Gavin. 👏👏👏
Really unhappy with the communication. Contacted Doran Plumbing via fb messenger after a recommendation from someone. I sent through a message asking for a rough quote on how much it would cost to fix our yard drainage, stating that it was definitely blocked somewhere along the line. I also sent photos of it backed up etc with the details he would need to quote us. I was asked for my phone number so Gavin could call me. When he called me he told me that it was going to be $95 so he could come and see what the problem was and then we could go from there so it would vary depending on what he found, but he had all the equipment to get it done on the day, and if we didn’t proceed it would be another $95 for him to come out again. Now as this was the first plumber i had called in relation to this issue, i thought that the $95 was for him to check the drain with his cameras and then any extra costs after would be associated with the jetting/fixing any problems based off what he found. Since we didnt have an exact price estimate we saved up for awhile to have $500 aside for the total $95 for the camera and $400 for the rest. And if it was going to be anymore we’d need to save up again. So eventually when he came out, we were hoping to be able to fix it on the spot. Unfortunately when Gavin came out I discovered that the $95 he was charging was just a fee to come and look visually with his eyes without actually doing anything at all. Explaining to me all the problems that there could possibly be that are wrong. And for him to take a look with the camera alone it would be $475. I have used many plumbers and tradies in the past and asked for a quote and never ever had any of them charge me to come out just to look at what ive already told them before actually giving me the pricing figures. Feel like he was really dishonest in the fact he couldnt give me a rough quote straight up. I get that these expenses vary, but its your own business and you do this everyday. At least give people an honest rundown via messages that they can go back and read and decipher that it could be anywhere between $300-$700 or whatever alone for the camera based off there drain situation and then could be more from there based off what is found instead of charging $95 to come out and tell them what they already know is an issue and making it seem like you will actually do something for $95. Having him only explain this via a phone call made it confusing as he didnt explain it well at all and made it seem like he would be doing actual physical work to find the problem. I would’ve preferred a direct message stating what that price was exactly for which was basically nothing except a visual look.
Horrible service!! Absolutely do not recommend Doran Plumbing and Drainage. This business did a plumbing job for my elderly mother that would've cost around $400 - $500 and instead charged her $790 taking advantage of her age and lack of knowledge. Despicable and morally bankrupt!!
Service was great and price was fair and we felt honest for the work done. It was a pleasant experience to have Gavin do the work. We will certainly keep his name and number handy for any future needs.
From my first interaction with Gavin at Doran Plumbing and Drainage, it became apparent that I was in for an unparalleled service experience. Gavin presented himself as not only an expert in his field but also as an embodiment of professionalism and courtesy that is so rare to find these days. Right from the outset, Gavin was prompt in responding to my inquiry. He took the time to understand the intricacies of the plumbing issues I was facing and offered immediate, practical solutions. His depth of knowledge in plumbing and drainage systems is evident, making me feel confident that my concerns were being addressed by the best in the business. One of the standout features of Gavin’s service was his commitment to transparency. He provided a detailed quote that outlined the necessary materials, labor, and costs, ensuring there were no hidden surprises. This level of openness instilled a sense of trust, and I felt assured knowing that I was getting value for my money. What impressed me most about Gavin was his meticulous attention to detail. He approached each task with precision and care, ensuring that every aspect of the job was completed to the highest standard. His work ethic is second to none, and he left no stone unturned to guarantee the longevity and reliability of his repairs. Beyond his technical skills, Gavin’s interpersonal communication was exceptional. He was approachable, friendly, and took the time to explain the processes involved, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. This level of interaction made me feel valued as a customer and reassured that my property was in capable hands. Gavin also respected my time and property, arriving punctually and leaving the work area spotless upon completion. It was evident that he takes pride in his work, and this dedication to customer satisfaction did not go unnoticed. In conclusion, my experience with Gavin at Doran Plumbing and Drainage was nothing short of outstanding.

Gavin is a highly skilled plumber. He excels in clearing blocked drainage. I've dealt with him three times, and each time, he shows up on time and solves the issue.
Very professional. They have the best equipment and would definitely recommend.
Very prompt and quality service... job well done and shall be using Doran plumbing for all my plumbing work from now on.
Gavin's service was second to none and we would definitely recommend him if you were looking for a plumber who delivers on everything they promise.
Used Doran plumbing for a drain issue in my bathroom where the water wasn’t draining correctly and was backing up in my second story bathroom. He was prompt (very much on time when he said he would be), friendly, professional, thorough and timely in the work. His costs are 100% on point and I can 110% say I will use Gavins services for any future plumbing concerns. I’m very happy 😊
Gavin was able to fit in a time for me at short notice to replace some basin flexi hoses and tap/mixer. He was friendly, professional and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend Doran Plumbing to anyone.
Our hot water system wasn't working properly, they replaced the unit in a few hours. No mess, no fuss. Hot water is working amazing
We had a blocked kitchen sink and had one plumber came out twice and still couldn't fix it. I found Gavin on Google. Gavin knows what he's doing. Very thorough on his job. Reasonablly priced. He showed me on camera that the entire 33m sewer pipe is all clear after job done. He cleaned everything before he left. Highly recommend.
Amazing service, honest professional and trustworthy. Hard to find these days! Thanks Gavin
Quality tradesman - thought they were extinct. Problem with sewerage drain identified using turbo jetting and camera. Highly recommended.
Gavin was very efficient and thorough finding the blockages and problems with our storm water pipes. Very happy with his service and pricing.

Found Gavin to be friendly, very prompt and courteous- he did a fantastic job- we will be definitely using Doran Plumbing again.
I was very happy with Gavin from Doran Plumbing who was able to fix my blocked sewerage pipe within 1 hour of speaking to him on the phone. He also gave me info that may help me get reimbursed for the cost & save me needing plumbers in the future for any ongoing problems with my pipes. I will certainly recommend Gavin & Doran Plumbing to my friends & family if they need a plumber in the future. Thanks Gavin

I had a Great experience with Doran Plumbing - call out on a Saturday morning - arrived on time and completed the necessary work within time frame quoted before work started- cost was very reasonable - will use Doran from now on and would recommend! John @ Boondall
I couldn't fault Gavin as he got stuck into the job and was very thorough. My drain is fully cleared and seeing the camera footage very reassuring. Would definitely recommend this Plumbing service.
Gavin was professional and well equipped to complete the task. His contact was super fast, and he was on time which was a big thing for me, as I am a shift worker! I will recommend Doran Plumbing and Drainage to everyone who needs a professional job done, with minimal fuss, at a competitive rate!
Great service, great communication and price. I highly recommend Doran Plumbing.
Found Gavin through YouTube watching his drain unblocking videos and checked his website to realise he's local. Gave him a ring about a slow draining shower and he was here next day and sorted it quickly. Excellent service!
I spoke to Gavin on the phone regarding a blocked drain in my backyard. Gavin came out the very same afternoon, a Saturday afternoon at that, around an hour after I got off the phone to him. I had just finished a coffee and was not expecting him to arrive so soon, even though Gavin gave me an approximate time on the phone of when he would be turning up. I have had too many experiences where people say they were going to turn up at a certain time only to be left waiting around. Gavin turned up and got straight in to the job and explained everything he was going to do in a very friendly and professional manner. It was after all a cold, wet Saturday afternoon and I assume he had better places to be. Gavin filmed the whole procedure, showing me how the drain looked before and after he unblocked it and I was amazed at the difference. The invoice for the job was within my expectations. I was so impressed with Gavin's punctuality that even though he gave me several days to pay it, I paid it off within minutes of receiving it. I would highly recommend Doran Plumbing and Drainage
