Pricing and Booking Questions
Money first, because that is what most people want nailed down before anyone books anything:
Call (07) 3520 4094How does pricing work before any work starts?
You get a fixed quote in writing before anyone picks up a tool, and the number you approve is the number on the final receipt, with no surprises once the work is underway.
Which payment methods can I use on site?
Card or EFTPOS on the spot once the job is done, so there is no account to keep track of and no bank transfer to chase after we pack up the gear.
Can the quote change once the work has begun?
If we open something up and the job turns out bigger than it looked, we stop, show you what we found and price the extra part before touching another thing.
How quickly can a plumber get to me?
Call us first thing and we will aim to reach you that same day where we can; if the book is full we say so and set the next time that suits.
Services We Get Asked About
What we actually do day to day, and how the work fits the homes here:
Call (07) 3520 4094Do you fix taps and toilets, or only bigger jobs?
Both, because a dripping laundry tap in a cottage near Frew Park gets the same licensed visit as a full re-pipe, and small faults fixed early never grow into big ones.
Can you work on hot water in apartment blocks?
Yes, and a shared riser means arranging water isolations with the building manager, because one tank swap can leave several floors without water while the work happens.
Do you clear blocked sewers and stormwater lines?
Both, because a choked sewer backs up into the home while a blocked stormwater line ponds out in the yard, and where the water shows up first tells us which line it is.
Is gas fitting part of your licence?
It is, because QBCC No: 15024607 covers plumbing and drainage and gasfitting, so cooktops, bayonets and heater points are handled by the one crew on the one visit.
Urgent Calls and What To Do First
The calls that cannot wait, and the first moves that limit the damage:
Call (07) 3520 4094What counts as an emergency call?
Water you cannot shut off, a toilet overflowing past the pan, no hot water across the unit and any smell of gas, because all four get worse the longer they sit.
What should I do first with a burst pipe?
Shut the mains tap at the water meter, then ring us, because stopping the supply at the street beats any bucket, and every litre held back is damage avoided.
Can you find a hidden leak without lifting floors?
Mostly, because meter readings, isolation tests and moisture checks narrow the search before we open anything, which matters in a tower where a wrong cut soaks the unit below.
Do the flood maps change how you plan jobs here?
They do, because council's flood outlines cover the low river-end streets, so we plan the shutdown and the dry-out before the job starts rather than reacting halfway through.
Milton Conditions and Older Pipes
The ground and the housing stock here shape plenty of calls, so these come up often:
Call (07) 3520 4094Who owns which pipes around my property?
Urban Utilities maintains the public sewer and the water mains under the street, and every pipe on your side of that connection point is the owner's to look after.
Why do the old cottage drains keep getting roots?
The oldest houses here joined the sewer in the 1930s, when earthenware was the standard pipe, and those cement-sealed joints are close to a century old and cracked.
Does restaurant grease affect the apartment sewers?
It can, because the cafe trade tips fat into shared branches that also serve nearby units, so grease from other kitchens can set in a line your home depends on.
How do I book a plumber for my place?
Ring (07) 3520 4094, tell us what is going on and where, and we will lock in a time, quote the work up front and take card or EFTPOS when we finish.
