Leaking Taps in Redland Bay

What we find in Redland Bay

Outdoor tapware on big blocks is exposed and wears quickly. It is usually the reason for the call.

Redland Bay in detail

With the Logan River nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.

Getting access in Redland Bay

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

Getting to Redland Bay

We work Victoria Point, Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Woongoolba and Alberton as well, and treat a job on the edge of Redland Bay the same as one in the middle of it.

Before you call us

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. 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

The sequence is test, isolate, locate, expose, repair, pressure test. The pressure test at the end is not optional; a repair that has not been tested under pressure is a repair you hear about again.

After the job

When the work is finished you get told what we found, what we did and whether anything else is worth watching. If there is nothing, we say so - we would rather be the ones who told you the system was fine than the ones who found work that was not there.

How we quote

We price Redland Bay work up front and hold to it. The only time a number changes is when we have found something and told you about it first.

What affects the price

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.

How we do it

Repair where the body is sound, replace where it is not, and tell you honestly which applies.

Preventive work in Redland Bay

Preventive work matters more here than in most suburbs. With the Logan River taking the local runoff, a stormwater pit full of leaves is the difference between a wet lawn and water through a doorway.

Approvals and compliance

Redland City Council assesses plumbing work here, and the paperwork is our responsibility rather than yours.

Frequently asked questions

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

Usually a worn washer or a loose jumper valve vibrating as water passes it. It is a repair rather than a replacement in most cases.

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

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.

Yes. Gas work in Redland Bay 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.

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.

Yes. Where the fault sits in common property we identify that early so you are not paying for work the body corporate is responsible for.
