Licensed plumbers in Wellington Point
A burst pipe is the most damaging plumbing failure there is, simply because it keeps going until someone turns it off.
5-star rated on Google
Measured from the Cleveland, Wellington Point is about 8.2 km north-west.
The first thing we do on the phone is tell you where your mains tap is.
Long underground supply runs are where bursts happen on properties this size. Locating them is a job in itself.
The Brisbane River shapes the local drainage. Low-lying blocks near it see surcharge first when the rain is heavy enough.
Wellington Point access is usually simple. Mention the gate, the dog and the meter location and we will be set.
The same vans cover Ormiston, Alexandra Hills and Birkdale, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.
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. 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.
We confirm the fault before touching the building. Cutting into a wall to go looking is the expensive approach and it is usually unnecessary.
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
Every Wellington Point job is quoted up front. If opening something up reveals a bigger problem, we stop and explain the options rather than pressing on and adding it to the bill.
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. 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.
After the repair the line gets tested under pressure. A repair that has not been tested is a repair you hear about again.
Keeping the stormwater path to the Brisbane River clear is the single most useful preventive job on a Wellington Point property.
Plumbing in Wellington Point is approved through Redland City Council under the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code. We lodge what the code requires.
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 is between you and your insurer, but the documentation will not be the holdup. We provide photographs, a written report and cause-of-damage detail as a matter of course.
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.
Usually yes. We carry the common washers, cartridges and spindles, so most Wellington Point tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.
Anything that can damage the property or put someone at risk: a burst pipe, a sewage overflow, a gas leak, or no water at all. Those get priority over scheduled work.
We quote before work begins and we do not revise it mid-job without talking to you first. If we find something unexpected, you decide what happens next.
