What we find in Redland Bay

On large blocks the burst is frequently in the supply line between the meter and the house - underground, unseen, and capable of running for days before a soft patch of lawn gives it away.

Redland Bay in detail

The Logan River shapes the local drainage. Low-lying blocks near it see surcharge first when the rain is heavy enough.

Getting access in Redland Bay

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

Getting to Redland Bay

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. Our Redland Bay runs also take in Victoria Point, Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Woongoolba and Alberton.

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

First the meter, then section isolation, then acoustic location. Three steps that take under an hour and save opening the wrong wall.

After the job

We leave the area clean and we leave you with a clear account of the work. Nothing is left vague for a later invoice to explain.

How we quote

Quoting works the same way on every Redland Bay job: we look, we price it, you agree, we do it. Anything we find along the way gets raised before it gets charged.

What affects the price

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. Making good - plaster, tiles, concrete - is usually a separate trade and a separate cost. We tell you upfront what we will and will not be putting back.

How we do it

Shut off, locate, repair, test. Every burst repair we do finishes with a pressure test rather than an assumption.

Preventive work in Redland Bay

Keeping the stormwater path to the Logan River clear is the single most useful preventive job on a Redland Bay property.

Approvals and compliance

Redland City Council is the assessing authority in Redland Bay. Notifiable work is lodged with council and connection work needs approval first.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Usually at the front boundary near the water meter, sometimes in a garden bed or under a cover. Worth locating now rather than at 2am - it is the single most useful thing you can know about your plumbing.

Yes. Slab leaks are located acoustically and the repair options depend on where it sits. We set those out before any concrete is touched.

Usually yes. We carry the common washers, cartridges and spindles, so most Redland Bay tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.

We provide the report, photographs and cause-of-damage detail insurers ask for. What the policy covers is between you and them, but the documentation will not be the holdup.

Yes - electric, gas, solar and heat pump. We check the existing connections before quoting, because an old supply line can turn a simple swap into a bigger job.
