Prices, Quotes and Booking
The money questions come first on almost every call, so here they are first on the page:
Call (07) 3524 7117Do I get the price before any work starts?
Yes, a fixed quote lands in your hands before a single tool comes out, so the figure you approve is the figure that appears on the invoice.
Can I pay by card on the day?
Yes, card or EFTPOS settles the bill on the spot when the work wraps up, which means no invoices to chase down or transfers to remember later.
Can you get here the same day?
Same-day where we can, so ringing early gives us the best shot at having a plumber at your door before the light goes, and a morning call on most days gets a visit sorted that afternoon.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your street address, where the meter sits, what the system is doing and about how old it is, because those four details put the right parts on the van.
The Services We Carry Out
One licence covers a wider range of work than most people expect:
Call (07) 3524 7117Do you do gas fitting as well as water work?
Yes, the licence spans plumbing and drainage plus gasfitting under QBCC No: 15024607, so bayonet points, cooktop hook-ups and fresh gas lines all ride in one booking.
Can you replace a hot water system, not just repair it?
Yes, repairs and full replacements both sit in our range, and with solar installs far outnumbering heat pumps in this postcode, matching new gear to old collectors is routine for us.
Can you find a hidden leak without pulling the bathroom apart?
Yes, detection runs from the surface using sound, pressure and moisture readings, so the search narrows before anything gets pulled off a wall, and the tiles mostly stay exactly where they are.
Do you clear blocked sewers and stormwater as well as indoor drains?
Yes, sewer lines, stormwater pits and fixture drains all fall under the same licence, and a camera run can follow if the choke keeps returning each season.
Emergencies and What To Do First
The first five minutes matter more than the first hour does:
Call (07) 3524 7117What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water with no shut-off, a gas smell, sewage indoors or a cold shower for an older resident, and anything on that list jumps straight to the front of the queue.
What do I do about a burst pipe before you arrive?
Shut the water down at the meter, crack a garden tap downstream to empty the pipe, keep everything electrical well clear of the wet, then ring us and we will talk you through the rest.
I can smell gas indoors. What now?
Get outside first and make the call from there, skipping every switch on the way out, because one spark outweighs any plumbing job on the list, and we will take it from there.
Why did my gully trap surge after the last storm?
Sewage travels through a chain of pump stations around here, so a lengthy power cut can stall one and force effluent up through the lowest gully traps in its catchment.
Coastal Ground and Local Pipes
The streets near the foreshore behave differently to the ones up on the rise:
Call (07) 3524 7117Why do my outdoor taps corrode so quickly?
Salt riding the breeze off Pumicestone Passage chews brass and steel fittings all year, so taps near the foreshore reserves and the marina pit and seize well ahead of schedule.
Does the sandy ground affect the drains?
It does, because tidal-delta sand and a water table sitting close to the surface wash grit into any shifted joint, and the constantly wet ground keeps silt hanging in the line.
Who owns which pipes at my place?
Unitywater maintains the public sewer and water mains, but everything on your side of that connection is your responsibility, which is the split that settles who fixes what.
How do I book a plumber in Sandstone Point?
Ring (07) 3524 7117 and tell us what is going on, then we lock in a time, bring the parts and hand you the fixed quote before the work begins.
