Cannon Hill is some 10.4 km east of the Brisbane CBD.

At about 1,763 people per sq km over 3.8 sq km, Cannon Hill is established suburban housing with pockets of newer infill. Cannon Hill carries older timber housing. That means original galvanised supply lines still in service, earthenware sewer with root intrusion, and the occasional surprise under a renovated bathroom floor.
Access in Cannon Hill 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. We cover Murarrie, Tingalpa and Carina on the same runs, so if your street sits on a boundary it makes no difference to us. Cannon Hill railway station serves the area, and the commuter pattern that comes with it shapes when we can actually get access to a property in Cannon Hill.
Older housing in Cannon Hill fails gradually. Brown water, dropping pressure and under-floor damp are the three signals that the supply pipe, not the fitting, is the problem.
Roots, wipes and grease account for most of them, and a camera tells us which before anything is cut.
Bathroom leaks in older Cannon Hill homes rarely come from where the water appears. We find the source first, because retiling the wrong wall is an expensive way to learn.
Hot water work in Cannon Hill means dealing with whatever the house already has. We check it rather than assume it.
For gas in Cannon Hill we check the line can carry the appliance before we quote it, not after. That is the difference between a clean install and a callback.
Cannon Hill is about 21.9 km from our Marsden depot. For a burst pipe or a gas leak we will tell you our honest arrival window and what to shut off while you wait.
Leak detection across Cannon Hill means finding the fault first and repairing second - in that order, and without unnecessary damage.
If the power needs to go off because water has reached electrical fittings, do it at the switchboard and tell us you have. Note which fixtures are affected. One fixture points at that fixture. Several, or the lowest one in the house, points at the main line, and that changes what comes off the van.
If we find something unexpected behind a wall or under a floor, we stop and show you before continuing. You decide what happens next.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
Out-of-hours work costs more than a booked visit, and you hear the figure before we leave the depot. We will also tell you honestly if what you have described can wait until morning and cost you less. Diagnostic work - locating a leak, camera-inspecting a drain - is priced and explained before it starts. It is also what keeps the repair small, which is usually where the real money is.
We price Cannon Hill 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.
