Pricing and Booking Questions
Money comes up on nearly every call, so it leads the page here. Four answers cover the cost, the quote, the payment and what the quote actually includes.
Call (07) 3523 6428How much will my plumbing job cost?
We price every job on its own merits, since parts, access and time vary from house to house, and you see the fixed figure in writing before we start on site.
Do you quote before starting the work?
Yes, the price is agreed and approved before we begin, so the figure you sign off is the figure you pay, with nothing extra added once the tools come out on the day.
How can I pay for the work?
Card and EFTPOS payment happens on site once the job is finished and checked, so there is nothing to chase later and no invoice arriving in the mail a week afterwards.
What does a quote include?
The quote covers the labour, the parts and the work described, so if something unexpected turns up once we open things up, we stop and talk it through with you first.
Services We Get Asked About
The range is wider than most people expect, from a dripping mixer through to a full gas run. These four cover the calls we field most often, and our plumbing services page lists every one in detail.
Call (07) 3523 6428What plumbing services do you cover here?
The list covers tap and toilet repairs, plumbing for bathrooms and kitchens, leak detection, gas fitting, blocked drains, hot water work and emergencies, and the general plumbing overview details the full range.
Can you do gas work as well as plumbing?
Yes, gasfitting sits alongside plumbing and drainage on the one licence, QBCC No: 15024607, so appliance connections, bayonet points, cooking lines and leak repairs all come under the same approval.
Do you work on septic systems?
We do, because plenty of blocks on the acreage streets out here run on tanks and absorption trenches, and backed-up lines, soggy yards and wet-season overloads are ordinary calls for us.
Can you find a leak that is hidden?
Yes, tracing hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs and along garden lines is regular work for us, and we quote the repair once we know exactly where the water is escaping.
Emergency Plumbing Questions
Emergencies get their own group because the first five minutes matter more than anything else. The emergency plumbing page carries the full make-safe steps for each symptom.
Call (07) 3523 6428What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot stop, a gas smell, sewage coming up inside the house or a burst flooding the floor all need a call now, while a dripping tap can wait for a booked visit.
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Turn the water off at the meter, then ring us, because the sooner the flow stops the less water soaks into a low-set brick slab, which is where burst flexi hoses do their damage.
What do I do if I smell gas?
Leave the property first and call from outside, and do not flick switches or light anything, because a gas leak is the one job where safety comes well before diagnosis or repair.
My hot water has gone cold. What should I do?
Check whether the tank is leaking or the pilot has dropped, then call us, because a single tank serving a full household means everyone waits, and we treat a cold cylinder as an urgent booking.
Local Conditions and Drains
This corner of Moreton Bay has its own plumbing quirks, driven by creeks, saturated ground and unsewered blocks. Three local answers and the booking question close the page, and drainage work has the detail.
Call (07) 3523 6428Why do drains back up in heavy rain here?
Council's flood hazard mapping follows the Caboolture River, Sheepstation Creek, Gympie Creek and Burpengary Creek, and the pits and culverts beside those waterways sit in that mapping, so prolonged rain backs them up.
Do many homes here run on septic?
Plenty do, because Unitywater's lot records give the acreage streets a large count of water-connected blocks with no sewer behind them, so tank and trench problems are everyday work rather than oddities.
Who looks after the water mains and sewers?
The water mains and sewers under the street belong to Unitywater, but the property owner is responsible for everything past the connection point, which is where our work usually starts.
How do I book a plumber in Morayfield?
Ring (07) 3523 6428, explain the problem, name your street plus the closest intersecting road, and we will arrange a time and record the fixed price on paper before any job begins.
