5-star rated on Google
Drewvale is some 26.5 km south of the Brisbane CBD.
The repair is usually simple; the damage is what is not.
On open blocks, check the meter with everything off. A moving meter is the whole diagnosis.
Drewvale covers 4.4 sq km at around 1,086 residents per sq km. Bigger blocks mean more pipe between the fixture and the main, and more places for a blockage to hide.
In Drewvale there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.
Stretton, Karawatha, Berrinba and Browns Plains are all on our regular runs, so neighbouring streets get the same response.
Clear access to the affected area if you safely can - under the sink, in the cupboard, around the meter. The repair itself is often short; getting to it is what takes the time. If the water is near anything electrical, or has come through a ceiling, switch the power off at the board as well and tell us when you call. We would rather arrive knowing that than find out on site.
We start by confirming there is a leak at all - the meter test with everything closed - then narrow it down section by section using isolation points. Only once the location is confirmed does anything get opened up, and we open the smallest area that will do the job.
The job finishes with a test, an explanation and any paperwork the work requires. All three, every time.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
Pricing on Drewvale jobs is settled before the work begins. We do not revise a quote mid-job without talking to you first, and you decide what happens next.
A repair to an exposed pipe under a house is a short job. The same repair under a slab or inside a wall is not, and the difference is access rather than the plumbing. We establish which you have before quoting. Supplying your own tapware is fine and changes the quote accordingly. We will tell you before the day if what you have bought will not suit the existing connections.
We repair the failure and assess the pipe either side of it. A burst at one joint often means the next one is close behind.
We would rather do the small Drewvale jobs than the large ones. Clear stormwater, serviced hot water, and early attention to a slow drain cover most of it.
Brisbane City Council approves plumbing work in Drewvale. Notifiable work is lodged after completion; anything more significant needs permission first.
The Calamvale ward covers Drewvale, which is who we lodge with for anything on council land.
Often, in older pipework. A joint that has corroded through usually has neighbours in the same condition, and we will tell you honestly what we can see.
Yes. Slab leaks are located acoustically and the repair options depend on where it sits. We set those out before any concrete is touched.
Corrosion in older galvanised supply, ground movement, tree roots, water hammer from fast-closing fittings, and perished flexible hoses. Which one it was changes what we recommend afterwards.
If water is near electrical fittings or has come through a ceiling, yes - at the switchboard. Tell us when you call so we know what we are arriving to.
For water, the mains tap at the meter. For gas, the valve at the meter, and no naked flames. Tell us what you have shut off when you call.
There is a cost to getting a licensed plumber to your door in Drewvale, and we tell you what it is before we leave. No surprises on the invoice.
We quote the job before we start, so the price you agree to is the price on the invoice. Ask on the phone and we will tell you what the attendance costs before we leave the depot.
