Pricing and Booking Questions
Money first, because it is the first thing most people ask. Four answers on quotes, licences and payment:
Call (07) 3067 4276How does pricing work for a Geebung plumbing job?
You get a fixed quote before any work starts, so the price you approve on paper is the price you pay, and nothing gets charged before you sign off on it.
Is the work done under a licence?
Yes, every plumbing and gas job is carried out under QBCC No: 15024607, which covers plumbing and drainage and gasfitting, so the work on your place is fully licensed and traceable.
What payment methods can I use on the day?
Card and EFTPOS payment on site is the usual arrangement, so when the job is finished you pay on the spot and there is nothing left to chase up later.
Do you take small jobs like a single dripping tap?
Yes, a single dripping tap gets the same treatment as a full refit, because the price is settled in writing before anything on your place gets touched.
Service Questions
The full range is made up of four areas of work, emergency plumbing, plumbing, drainage and hot water, and these answers help you decide which one applies:
Call (07) 3067 4276What plumbing work do you cover?
Taps, toilets, bathrooms and kitchens make up the everyday run, plus leak detection, gas fitting, drainage, hot water and the emergency work, and each of those has its own page on this site.
Do you repair and replace hot water systems?
Yes, from a failed element or valve on an older unit to a full replacement tank, the hot water pages cover repairs, replacements and new systems for Geebung houses of any age.
Can you clear blocked sewers and stormwater lines too?
Yes, blocked drains, sewers and stormwater lines are all cleared and diagnosed, and a CCTV drain inspection can show exactly where an old earthenware line has cracked beneath your yard.
Do you handle gas leaks and gas appliance fitting?
Yes, gas fitting and gas leak repairs are both licensed work under our gasfitting class, from bayonet points to appliance connections, and a gas smell is always urgent, so call straight away.
Emergency Questions
Some jobs cannot wait for a booked visit. These answers cover what counts as urgent and the first moves for each:
Call (07) 3067 4276What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot switch off, a smell of gas, a toilet filling past the rim and a house gone cold are the four we treat as urgent, and each has a dedicated page.
A pipe has burst, what should I do first?
Turn the water off at the meter or the isolation tap first, switch power off if water is near outlets, then call us; the burst pipes page walks through it.
My toilet is overflowing right now, what do I do?
Stop the cistern filling by lifting the float or shutting its isolation tap, put towels down, and keep everyone clear; the toilet overflow page covers the steps in order before you call.
There is no hot water tonight, is that urgent?
It can be, because a leaking tank or a tripped breaker is worth a look at the same day where we can; the no hot water page lists the checks worth making first.
Questions About Geebung Conditions
Soil, creek and pipe age shape the work here. Four questions on what the suburb's postwar housing stock means for your plumbing:
Call (07) 3067 4276Who owns which water pipes at my property?
The mains in the street are Urban Utilities' assets, while everything from your boundary back to the house, including the branch drain and fittings, falls to the owner.
Why do drains block so often in older Geebung houses?
Many older Geebung homes were built before the sewer roll-out, so their earthenware branch lines with open joints are short, rigid and past their design life as the clay soils swell and shrink.
Does creek flooding change plumbing work near Downfall Creek?
The low blocks near the creek sit inside the council's mapped February 2022 flood extent, so rising water can push up through the lowest fixtures, and we plan any repair with that in mind.
How do I book a plumber in Geebung?
Ring (07) 3067 4276 with the street address and what is going on, and we set a time that suits before the fixed quote and the card or EFTPOS payment on site.
