Licensed plumbers in Rocklea
Burst pipes cause damage by the minute.
5-star rated on Google
Rocklea sits around 11.1 km south-south-west of the Brisbane CBD.
Shutting the water off at the meter stops that, and it stops it before we arrive.
A burst out in the yard announces itself through the water bill, not through a flood. By the time it is obvious it has been running a long while.
The Brisbane River takes the local runoff. Blocked downpipes and silted stormwater pits are more expensive mistakes on the blocks closest to it.
Rocklea access is usually simple. Mention the gate, the dog and the meter location and we will be set.
We service the suburb daily, and we will tell you honestly on the phone how long we will be. We cover Tennyson, Yeerongpilly, Salisbury and Coopers Plains on the same runs, so if your street sits on a boundary it makes no difference to us.
Check the meter with every tap closed. If the dial or the smallest digit is still turning, water is going somewhere it should not, and that is worth telling us before we arrive. It is the single most reliable test there is. 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.
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.
Every job ends with the same thing: an explanation of what failed and why, and an honest view of whether it is likely to happen again. That is the part that decides whether you need us back.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
You will know the cost of a Rocklea job before it starts. Anything that changes the scope is discussed with you rather than decided for you.
The pressure test at the end is included, not extra. A repair that has not been tested is not a repair we would invoice for. Detection and repair are usually the same visit, and the repair is quoted once the fault is located rather than estimated in advance. Guessing at a price before knowing where the leak is does neither of us any favours.
The order is isolation, location, repair, test. Opening walls to go looking is the expensive version and we avoid it.
Stormwater maintenance in Rocklea means clear gutters, clear downpipes and clear pits, so the water actually reaches the Brisbane River.
Because Rocklea is in the Brisbane City Council area, sewer and stormwater connections need council sign-off. We arrange it.
For council matters, Rocklea falls within the Moorooka ward. That is the office involved in anything touching the main or the footpath.
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.
Yes. Slab leaks are located acoustically and the repair options depend on where it sits. We set those out before any concrete is touched.
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.
That depends almost entirely on how quickly the water was shut off. The pipe is the cheap part; the floor and the cabinetry are not.
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.
Rocklea is about 16.2 km from our Marsden base. When you call we give you a real arrival window for that day's workload, not a stock answer.
Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Rocklea.
