5-star rated on Google
Mackenzie is some 16.1 km south-east of the Brisbane CBD.
We will not pretend that takes no time, and we will not leave you waiting without an update.
On blocks this size the emergency is often a long way from the house. A split in the supply between the meter and the dwelling can run for hours before anyone notices a wet patch in the yard.
With 3.3 sq km and only about 708 people per sq km, Mackenzie is low-density. Drain runs are long, and locating a fault takes equipment rather than guesswork.
In Mackenzie there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.
You will get a straight answer about arrival time when you call. The same vans cover Belmont, Burbank, Rochedale and Wishart, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.
For water, the mains tap at the meter is the first move. For gas, the valve at the meter. Tell us what you have already shut off when you call - it changes what we expect to find and how fast we need to move. Note the time it started and whether it is getting worse. A steady drip and an accelerating leak need different responses and we would rather know before we leave.
You get told what we found, what we did, and what still needs doing if anything does. Nothing is left as a surprise for a later invoice.
We will tell you if something we noticed is worth attention, and we will tell you if it is not urgent. Both are useful and only one of them sells work.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
On Mackenzie jobs the quote comes before the work. If what we find does not match what we expected, you hear about it before anything else happens.
The quote happens after the situation is made safe and before any repair starts. Emergency rates are not a reason to skip the quote; if anything they are a reason to be more careful about it. A call-out that finds nothing wrong still costs something, and we tell you what before we come. Nobody should be surprised by that.
The sequence does not change: isolate, assess, quote, repair. We stop the water or the gas first, then tell you what it will cost before anything else happens.
Most Mackenzie emergencies had a warning. Servicing the hot water system, clearing the stormwater and acting on a slow drain removes most of them.
Brisbane City Council is the authority for notifiable plumbing work in Mackenzie, and the lodgement is ours to handle.
Mackenzie is part of the Chandler ward. Street-side work and anything connecting to council infrastructure goes through that office.
If it damages the property or puts someone at risk, yes. If it is annoying but stable, booking it costs you less and we will say so on the phone rather than letting you pay emergency rates.
Yes. We isolate and make the situation safe, then return with the component. You are not left with water running while a part is ordered.
Out-of-hours attendance costs more than a booked visit and we tell you what it is before we leave the depot. You hear the number first and decide.
For water, the mains tap at the meter. For gas, the valve at the meter and no naked flames. Tell us what you have already shut off when you call.
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.
Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Mackenzie.
Wipes that claim to be flushable, and too much paper at once. Both are fixable; a toilet that blocks repeatedly usually has something structural behind it.
