Prices And Bookings
Money questions come first for good reason, and ours are simple:
Call (07) 3523 6428How much will a plumbing job cost?
Every job starts with a fixed quote before any work begins, so you see the price and approve it first, whether the call is a leaking mixer or a drain that has given up.
What happens if the job turns out bigger than expected?
The quoted figure covers the work discussed, and if an inspection turns up something the first look could not show, you get the revised number and decide before we continue.
What should I have ready when I book?
Note which fixture is playing up, roughly when the trouble started and any access details such as a side gate, and those few details mean the right parts turn up first visit.
How do I pay for the work?
Payment by card or EFTPOS happens at your property as soon as we finish, which means no invoice to follow up and no documents to squeeze into your schedule.
The People On The Job
Who turns up matters, so here is the straight answer to the usual three:
Call (07) 3523 6428Who actually carries out the plumbing work?
Our own team of licensed plumbers does the work, and the person who answers your call knows what was described, so details do not get lost between phone and doorstep.
Is the business licensed?
The plumbing and gasfitting here runs under QBCC No: 15024607, the licence covering drainage as well as gas, so one visit can handle a sewer connection and a cooktop swap.
Is this a locally owned business?
Yes, the business is locally owned and operated rather than a franchise, working one patch of Brisbane's north that sits on the City of Moreton Bay side of the boundary.
Which suburbs do you cover?
The regular run stretches across the boundary lines to Brendale, Bridgeman Downs, McDowall, Bunya and Eatons Hill, and each suburb's page sets out the ground conditions we see there.
Emergencies And Quick Decisions
When something goes wrong suddenly, the first minute counts:
Call (07) 3523 6428What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Find the water meter and turn the main valve off, then ring for help, because cutting the supply there is the quickest way to stop water spreading through the house.
Is a smell of gas an emergency?
Treat it as one and get everyone outside, then ring from the street while leaving switches and flames alone, because this is the one fault nobody should ever investigate indoors.
How do I stop a toilet that will not stop filling?
Take the lid off the cistern and lift the float so the filling stops, and if that fails, the meter valve shuts the whole supply until help arrives.
A flexible hose has split under my basin, what now?
Shut the small isolation tap beside the fixture if there is one, then call, because a split braided hose soaks a bathroom fast and we replace the hose properly.
Hills, Creeks And Wet Seasons
The ground asks its own questions of older pipework, so a few local answers:
Call (07) 3523 6428Why do drains on these hills block so often?
Look to the ground, because the mudstone below weathers into reactive clay, and joints in a buried line move each time it swells through rain and shrinks again once dry.
Who looks after the water mains and the sewer?
Unitywater keeps the public sewer and the water mains on the street side, and the pipework from your boundary inward belongs to the property, which we confirm before pricing.
Why do so many hot water systems call it quits here?
Most houses went up through the subdivision decades after the 1960s, and the tanks fitted along the way have hit the end of their working life, especially in homes with several bathrooms.
How do I book a plumber in Albany Creek?
Ring (07) 3523 6428, tell us what is happening and when it began, and we will arrange a time, with same-day where we can and the price settled before any tools come out.
