Questions About Pricing and Booking
Money questions come first on almost every call, so we answer them plainly here. Nothing below changes at the door.
Call (07) 3067 4272Do you charge a call-out fee in Strathpine?
No, every visit comes with $0 call-out fees, and there is no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays, so the hour you ring never changes the bill at all.
How does the quoting work?
You receive flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and the fixed quote is settled before the work begins, so the figure you approve is the figure on the invoice.
Can I pay by card on the day?
Yes, you can pay on site by card or EFTPOS once the job is finished, or ask us about Fix now, pay later if you would rather spread the cost over time.
What makes one job cost more than another?
The parts required, the hours the work takes and how awkward the fault is to reach all shape the final figure, and every quote is locked in before we pick up a tool.
Questions About Our Services
The short version: if water or gas runs through it, it is on our list. The longer version turns on the job, and the four answers below cover it.
Call (07) 3067 4272Which plumbing jobs do you take on?
Burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked sewers, tap repairs, bathroom and kitchen work, leak detection and hot water systems all sit under our emergency, general, drainage and hot water services.
Can you replace a hot water system as well as repair one?
Yes, our plumbers fit new elements and valves and also supply and install whole tanks, and we say honestly which option suits the unit currently on your wall.
Do you work on gas appliances and gas lines?
Yes, we are licensed for gasfitting as well as plumbing, so cooktops, heaters, bayonet points and gas line repairs are all in scope, each finished with a pressure test.
Do you attend townhouses and unit complexes?
Yes, attached homes get the same visit, and we follow each complex's own rules on shared stacks and shut-offs so one repair never turns into a building-wide job.
Questions About Emergencies
When something is going wrong right now, the first question is usually whether it can wait. Here is how we draw the line.
Call (07) 3067 4272What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot switch off, a gas smell, an overflowing toilet or a burst pipe all qualify, and we are available 24/7, 7 days a week for exactly those calls.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut the water off at the meter first and ring us straight away, and if water is anywhere near power, stay clear of the wet zone and mention it when you call.
Can a gas smell wait until morning?
No, if you smell gas leave the property and call from outside, because a suspected leak needs a licensed gasfitter with the right gear, never a do-it-yourself check indoors.
Can you come the same day?
We aim for same-day when we can, and because an after-dark or weekend call is priced like a weekday booking, ringing at an awkward hour never adds a cent to the visit.
Questions About the Local Area
The last group covers the suburb itself: who owns which pipe, and what its soil, drains and flood mapping mean for the work. Streets around Pine Rivers Park and the older quarter near the wartime airfield site ask slightly different questions, and the answers below cover both.
Call (07) 3067 4272Who owns the pipes between my house and the street?
Unitywater maintains the mains and the public sewer out in the street, while everything on your side of the connection point is the owner's to fix, so we establish which side a fault sits on first.
Do the older estates here cause particular drain problems?
Yes, the estates that filled through the late 1960s were laid with clay earthenware drains, and decades of damp terrace ground have moved those joints enough to trap silt and fine roots.
Does flood mapping change the plumbing work I need?
It can, since the suburb sits largely within the council's flood planning overlay near Four Mile Creek, so we allow for that when sizing stormwater pipes and pits.
How do I book a plumber in Strathpine?
Ring (07) 3067 4272 at any hour, tell us what is going on, and we set a time for the visit, with zero call-out fees on every booking and same-day when we can.
