The Short Version
Three things hold for every job we take: the price goes in writing up front, you approve it before we start, and you can settle the bill by card or EFTPOS before our plumber leaves the driveway.
What We Cover
Four main streams of work carry most of the questions below, and each has its own page with the detail:
- Emergency plumbing, covering burst pipes, gas smells and overflowing toilets
- General plumbing, covering taps, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and gas
- Drainage, from blocked sewers to stormwater and camera inspections
- Hot water, for repairs and full replacements

Questions About Pricing and Booking
Money questions come up first for most people, so here they are first, answered plainly.
Call (07) 3067 4289Do I get a fixed quote before any work starts?
Yes, the full price goes in writing and you approve it before our plumbers touch anything, so the figure you sign off on is the figure you pay.
How can I pay once the work is finished?
Card and EFTPOS payment on site means you settle the bill before our plumber packs up the tools, so there is nothing to post, transfer or chase up after we have gone.
What should I have ready when I call?
A short description of the problem, the street you are on, and where the water meter or gas meter sits all help the right gear and parts come out on the first visit.
Are you licensed for plumbing and gas work?
Yes, every job we take is done under QBCC No: 15024607, a licence spanning plumbing, drainage and gasfitting, so taps, sewers and gas lines all fall within scope.
Questions About Our Services
This group covers the day-to-day work we do most, from dripping taps to drains that keep blocking.
Call (07) 3067 4289Can you fix a hot water system or replace it?
Our plumber tests the element, thermostat and valves first, and if the tank is beyond saving we talk you through the replacement choices rather than charging for repairs that will not last.
Do you clear blocked sewers and stormwater lines?
Yes, sewers, stormwater pits and yard drains are all cleared, and a camera run can show whether roots, silt or a settled joint is the real reason the blockage keeps coming back.
Do you handle gas fitting as well as water?
Yes, gas work sits inside the same licence, from heater and barbecue bayonet points to appliance repairs, and every gas line gets a pressure test before sign-off.
My tap drips and the toilet keeps running. Is that worth a call?
Both are quick fixes that waste water every single day, so a fresh washer, cartridge or cistern valve usually sorts the pair out in one short visit to your place.
Can you find a leak I cannot see?
Yes, hidden leaks are traced from the meter, the sound of running water and the damp pattern, which narrows the search long before any wall or floor gets opened up.
Who owns the pipes on my property?
Urban Utilities owns the public sewer and mains running under the street, and everything from that connection point inward across your property is the owner's to maintain and repair.
Questions About Emergencies and Conditions
The last group deals with the right-now problems and the local ground that shapes them, and it ends with the booking question.
Call (07) 3067 4289What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Turn the water off at the meter, then call (07) 3067 4289; on these flat streets a shut meter stops hundreds of litres soaking into the slab while the visit is arranged.
What if I can smell gas?
Leave the property and call from outside, and do not flick switches or light flames on the way out, because a gas leak is never a job to find or fix yourself.
Does creek flooding affect plumbing here?
It can, because the flood planning areas beside Cabbage Tree Creek cover much of this flat ground, so stormwater lines run with little fall and a storm can push back up yard drains.
How do I book a plumber in Fitzgibbon?
Call (07) 3067 4289, explain the problem and your location, and our team will book you in and send the price over in writing before anything gets taken apart.
