Leak Detection in Sunnybank

What we find in Sunnybank

A concealed leak announces itself in one of three ways: a water bill that has climbed for no reason, a meter that moves with every tap closed, or damp with no obvious source. Any of the three is worth a call.

Sunnybank in detail

Sunnybank covers 4.4 sq km at around 2,021 people per sq km - a mix of detached houses and some townhouse infill.

Getting access in Sunnybank

In Sunnybank there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.

Getting to Sunnybank

That proximity is the whole reason we can commit to the response times we do. We cover Robertson, Mac, Eight Mile Plains and Runcorn on the same runs, so if your street sits on a boundary it makes no difference to us.

Before you call us

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. Note whether the problem affects hot water, cold water, or both. Both means the fault is before the hot water unit; hot only means it is after it. That one observation narrows the search considerably.

What happens when we arrive

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.

After the job

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.

How we quote

Quoting works the same way on every Sunnybank 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

Tapware repairs are priced on the fitting, not the brand. A common washer or cartridge is quick; imported and designer fittings sometimes need a part ordered and we say so on the spot. 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.

How we do it

We isolate sections and pressure test to narrow it down, then use acoustic equipment to pinpoint it. The repair happens in one place rather than several.

Preventive work in Sunnybank

The Sunnybank jobs that turn into emergencies usually gave notice. Servicing and clearing beats repairing and replacing.

Approvals and compliance

Because Sunnybank is in the Brisbane City Council area, sewer and stormwater connections need council sign-off. We arrange it.

Council-side, Sunnybank sits in the Runcorn ward. We deal with that office on anything beyond the meter.

Frequently asked questions

Persistent water under a slab or footing can affect the soil beneath it, and reactive clay soils move when wet. That is the real argument for finding leaks early.

Yes. Detection and repair are the same visit wherever the access allows it, and you get a price for the repair once the fault is located.

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.

Accurate enough to open one small area rather than several. That precision is the whole value of doing it properly.

Yes. We are QBCC licensed and insured, and work in Sunnybank is carried out to the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code with Brisbane City Council as the assessing authority.

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.

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