Licensed plumbers in Thornlands
Washers, cartridges, spindles and seats - the usual causes, all of them repairable without replacing the tapware.

It is approximately 5.6 km south of the Cleveland.
Outdoor tapware on big blocks is exposed and wears quickly. It is usually the reason for the call.
The Logan River runs through the area. Properties near it deal with stormwater that has somewhere to go in a normal week and nowhere to go in a heavy one.
Access in Thornlands is rarely the issue - there is room to park and room to work. The distance from the street to the fault is what takes the time.
We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. Our Thornlands runs also take in Cleveland, Victoria Point, Mount Cotton and Sheldon.
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. Clear access to the affected area if you safely can - under the sink, in the cupboard, around the meter. The repair itself is often short; getting to it is what takes the time.
We confirm the fault before touching the building. Cutting into a wall to go looking is the expensive approach and it is usually unnecessary.
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
Pricing on Thornlands jobs is settled before the work begins. We do not revise a quote mid-job without talking to you first, and you decide what happens next.
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. Supplying your own tapware is fine and changes the quote accordingly. We will tell you before the day if what you have bought will not suit the existing connections.
Every tap we touch gets tested under pressure and checked for weeping at the base as well as the spout.
Keeping the stormwater path to the Logan River clear is the single most useful preventive job on a Thornlands property.
In Redland City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work both need council approval before it starts.
Usually. Older bodies are often repairable with a washer and a re-seat. Imported and designer fittings sometimes need a part ordered, and we tell you on the spot.
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.
A leaking base can, because the water goes into the cabinetry rather than down the drain. A dripping spout mostly costs you money.
Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Thornlands.
