What we find in Cannon Hill

Imperial fittings and non-standard spacings are common in older homes. Adapters exist; we identify what is needed.

Cannon Hill in detail

Cannon Hill's 3.8 sq km carry roughly 1,763 people per sq km: standard suburban density, mixed housing stock.

Getting access in Cannon Hill

Cannon Hill access is usually simple. Mention the gate, the dog and the meter location and we will be set.

Getting to Cannon Hill

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. Murarrie, Tingalpa, Carina and Seven Hills are all on our regular runs, so neighbouring streets get the same response.

Before you call us

Take a photo of where the water is appearing, and of your meter reading. Both are useful to us and both are useful to your insurer if it comes to that. Water travels, so what you can see is rarely where the pipe failed. 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

Older homes reward preventive attention more than new ones do. Clearing stormwater before the wet and having drains inspected periodically costs far less than the emergencies they prevent.

How we quote

In Cannon Hill we give you the price before we pick up a tool. Surprises during the job become a conversation, not an extra line on the invoice.

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

We clean up the connections properly rather than reusing tired seals and hoping.

Preventive work in Cannon Hill

Preventive plumbing in Cannon Hill comes down to three things: stormwater clear before the wet, hot water serviced, slow drains investigated early.

Approvals and compliance

Brisbane City Council is the assessing authority here. Notifiable plumbing work still has to be lodged, and anything touching the sewer or stormwater connection needs the right approval before it starts.

Cannon Hill is in the Doboy ward. Work that touches the street rather than the house goes through them.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We will install tapware you have bought, and we will tell you honestly if what you have chosen will not suit the existing connections - before we start rather than halfway through.

Yes - garden taps, hose bibs, laundry trough sets and outdoor showers are all standard work.

They are worth having. An isolation valve lets you shut off one fixture instead of the whole house, which turns a future repair into a much smaller job.

Only if the old ones were restricting flow. If the pressure problem is upstream, new tapware will not fix it, and we will say so before you spend the money.

Emergency work in Cannon Hill is not limited to business hours. Call the number on this page and tell us what is happening; we will tell you straight away whether it can wait until morning.

Anything that can damage the property or put someone at risk: a burst pipe, a sewage overflow, a gas leak, or no water at all. Those get priority over scheduled work.

Notifiable work has to be lodged with Brisbane City Council, and anything connecting to sewer or stormwater needs approval first. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
