Licensed plumbers in Mansfield
On a typical block the supply, the hot water line and the drainage all run beneath things you would rather not dig up.

It is approximately 13.5 km south-south-east of the Brisbane CBD.
Locating properly is what keeps the repair small.
A leak you can hear but not see is a detection job. We find it before anything is opened up.
With Bulimba Creek nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.
In Mansfield there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.
The same vans cover Carindale, Mackenzie, Rochedale and Wishart, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.
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 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.
First the meter, then section isolation, then acoustic location. Three steps that take under an hour and save opening the wrong wall.
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
We quote before we start, in Mansfield as everywhere. You hear the number, you agree to it, and that is the number on the invoice. If we find something unexpected, we stop and tell you before continuing.
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. 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.
Non-invasive first, always. Cutting into the building is the last step, not the first.
Stormwater maintenance in Mansfield means clear gutters, clear downpipes and clear pits, so the water actually reaches Bulimba Creek.
In Brisbane City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work needs council involvement. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
Mansfield is part of the Chandler ward. Street-side work and anything connecting to council infrastructure goes through that office.
Acoustic correlation, thermal imaging and pressure testing. Water travels, so the damp patch is rarely above the failure. Finding it properly is cheaper than opening walls to look.
Yes. Slab leaks are located acoustically and with thermal imaging. The repair options depend on where it sits, and we set those out before any concrete is touched.
That is the classic concealed leak. Turn everything off and watch the meter - if it is still moving, water is going somewhere. That is the point to call us.
Turn every tap off, make sure nothing is running, and watch the water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not.
Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Mansfield.
Yes. Gas work in Mansfield is licensed work - appliance installation, leak testing and certification. If you can smell gas, turn it off at the meter and call before anything else.
For common work we will give you a range on the phone and a fixed price once we have seen it. We do not start without you agreeing to the number.
