Questions About Pricing and Booking
Money and timing come up first in almost every call we take, so here they are up front:
Call (07) 3520 4094Do you give the price before starting work?
You get a fixed quote before any work starts, you approve it, and the price you sign off on is the price you pay when the job is done that day.
How will I be charged for the job?
Card or EFTPOS on site once the work is finished, so the job closes out on the spot and there is no account waiting for you at the end of the month.
Can you get here the same day?
We come same-day where we can, and an early call helps, because a morning ring leaves our team room to slot an island job in before the day fills up.
What affects the price of a plumbing job?
How long the work takes, what parts it needs and where the fault sits, because digging in wet island sand runs longer than the same repair on dry mainland ground.
Questions About Our Services
People often ask what a general plumber actually covers, so this group runs through the main trades we turn up for:
Call (07) 3520 4094What kind of plumbing work do you do?
The full domestic range, from tap and toilet repairs through to bathrooms, kitchens, hidden leak finding, gas fitting, drainage and hot water systems, all done under QBCC No: 15024607.
Do you repair and replace hot water systems?
Both, and on this island that matters, because the tanks fitted through the nineties and two-thousands replacement wave are now giving out one after the other across the foreshore streets.
Can you clear blocked sewers and stormwater?
Yes, we clear sewers, stormwater and ordinary blocked drains, and camera inspections show whether the fault is a cracked joint, sand ingress or tree roots before anyone puts a shovel in.
Do you do gas fitting as well as plumbing?
Yes, gas work is part of our licence, whether that is putting in a cooktop or a bayonet point, fixing a gas line or signing off the compliance paperwork for any home on the island.
Emergency Plumbing Questions
When something is going wrong right now, the first question is what to do in the next five minutes:
Call (07) 3520 4094What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot switch off, a gas smell, sewage spilling indoors or a hot water failure that leaves the household without a hot wash, and we treat those calls first.
What should I do first with a burst pipe?
Turn the water off at the meter, then call (07) 3520 4094, because stopping the flow at the tap on these flat sandy blocks prevents water heading straight for the floor of the house.
What do I do if I can smell gas?
Leave the property, call from outside and touch no switches or flames, because gas work is never a find-it-yourself job, and we attend gas smells as a first priority call.
Do you come out for an overflowing toilet?
Yes, an overflow is urgent on any floor, and we clear the blockage, prove the line flows and talk you through cleaning up safely once the spill is contained and dried.
Questions About Bribie Island Conditions
The island asks things of pipes that mainland suburbs never do, and these four answers explain why:
Call (07) 3520 4094Who looks after the pipes around Bribie Island?
Unitywater owns the street mains, the sewers and the pump stations, the pipes from your boundary to your fixtures belong to you, and our testing sorts faults onto the right side.
Does the salt air shorten the life of plumbing?
Yes, spray off the Pumicestone Passage eats exposed metal, so garden taps, isolation valves and the fittings on an outdoor tank wall rust through well before the indoor ones do.
Why do drains struggle when rain meets a high tide?
With almost no fall on low ground beside a tidal shore, downpipes and pits can fill and spill when a big downpour lands together with a high tide out front.
How do I book a plumber in Bellara?
