Leaking Taps in Cornubia

What we find in Cornubia

Garden taps on large blocks take weather and hose pressure, and they are the ones that fail first.

Cornubia in detail

California Creek is the local drainage line. Anything that slows a property's stormwater between the house and that outlet shows up as a flooded yard in a storm.

Getting access in Cornubia

Parking is rarely a problem in Cornubia. Tell us where the meter is and whether there is a dog, and we can get straight to work.

Getting to Cornubia

The same vans cover Mount Cotton, Carbrook, Eagleby and Loganholme, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call 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. The single most useful thing you can do before calling is find your water meter and the tap beside it. On most properties it is at the front boundary, sometimes under a hinged cover. Knowing where it is, and being able to turn it, is what stops a leak becoming a floor replacement.

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

Job done, system checked, nothing else flagged. In a house this age that is the normal outcome and we do not dress it up.

How we quote

We quote before we start, in Cornubia 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.

What affects the price

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. 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.

How we do it

The repair is washer, cartridge or seat depending on the tap. We identify which, replace it, and test it properly.

Preventive work in Cornubia

Cornubia drainage depends on getting water to California Creek. Anything blocking that path on your property turns heavy rain into a problem.

Approvals and compliance

Logan City Council assesses plumbing work here. We deal with the forms so the job is compliant on paper as well as in the ground.

Frequently asked questions

Enough to notice on a quarterly bill, and it runs every hour of every day. It is also the cheapest repair on our list.

A leaking base can, because the water goes into the cabinetry rather than down the drain. A dripping spout mostly costs you money.

Usually. We carry common washers, cartridges and spindles. Designer and imported tapware sometimes needs a part ordered, and we will tell you that on the spot rather than later.

The spindle or the cartridge has worn. Forcing it damages the seat, which turns a small repair into a larger one.

Yes, with acoustic and thermal detection rather than opening walls. We locate the fault first and quote the repair second.

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.

Yes - electric, gas, solar and heat pump. We check the existing connections before quoting, because an old supply line can turn a simple swap into a bigger job.
