Burst Pipes in Eight Mile Plains

Shutting the water off at the meter stops that, and it stops it before we arrive.

What we find in Eight Mile Plains

A burst in suburban housing is usually found by following the sound, not the stain.

Eight Mile Plains in detail

Bulimba Creek takes the local runoff. Blocked downpipes and silted stormwater pits are more expensive mistakes on the blocks closest to it.

Getting access in Eight Mile Plains

Parking is rarely a problem in Eight Mile Plains. Tell us where the meter is and whether there is a dog, and we can get straight to work.

Getting to Eight Mile Plains

Wishart, Rochedale, Underwood and Kuraby sit on the same daily routes as Eight Mile Plains.

Before you call us

The single most useful thing you can do before calling is find your water meter and the tap beside it. On most properties it is at the front boundary, sometimes under a hinged cover. Knowing where it is, and being able to turn it, is what stops a leak becoming a floor replacement. If water is escaping, turn it off at the meter first and call second. Everything else - finding the source, working out the repair, agreeing a price - can happen with the water off. None of it can happen usefully while the water is still running.

What happens when we arrive

Everything we open gets photographed before and after. It is useful to you, and if there is an insurance claim it is what they ask for.

After the job

When the work is finished you get told what we found, what we did and whether anything else is worth watching. If there is nothing, we say so - we would rather be the ones who told you the system was fine than the ones who found work that was not there.

How we quote

We price Eight Mile Plains work up front and hold to it. The only time a number changes is when we have found something and told you about it first.

What affects the price

Leak and burst work prices on two things: how long it takes to find, and how much has to be opened up to reach it. Finding it properly with acoustic equipment is the cheap part and it is what keeps the second part small. Opening walls to go looking is how these jobs get expensive. 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.

How we do it

After the repair the line gets tested under pressure. A repair that has not been tested is a repair you hear about again.

Preventive work in Eight Mile Plains

Keeping the stormwater path to Bulimba Creek clear is the single most useful preventive job on a Eight Mile Plains property.

Approvals and compliance

Frequently asked questions

Turn the water off at the mains tap near your meter. That stops the damage immediately. Then call and tell us what you have shut off and where the water is appearing.

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.

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.

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.

There is a cost to getting a licensed plumber to your door in Eight Mile Plains, and we tell you what it is before we leave. No surprises on the invoice.

Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Eight Mile Plains.

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.
