What counts as a plumbing emergency in Girraween?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses an immediate safety risk, causes active property damage, or makes the property uninhabitable. This includes burst pipes flooding the home, gas leaks or gas smells, sewer backing up into the house, no water supply to the property, or a hot water service leaking and causing damage. If you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, call and we'll confirm whether immediate dispatch is needed.
Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency plumbing in Girraween?
Call-out fee arrangements vary by suburb and job type. For Girraween, confirm the call-out fee status when you book. Our pricing is fixed and upfront once scope is clarified onsite, so you'll know the total cost before any work starts. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden fees.
What should I do if I smell gas in my Girraween home?
If you smell gas (a distinctive "rotten egg" odour), turn off the gas at the meter if it's safe to do so, open windows to ventilate the property, and do not operate electrical switches or create sparks. Leave the property if the smell is strong, and call us immediately. We'll dispatch a licensed gas fitter to locate the leak, isolate the affected section, and make the system safe.
Can you fix a broken pipe without digging up my yard?
If the burst is in an accessible section of pipe, we can often repair it with minimal excavation. For bursts beneath driveways, pathways, or established landscaping, trenchless pipe lining is usually the most practical solution. A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe, inflated, and cured to create a permanent repair without digging. We assess the situation onsite and explain the options before any work proceeds.
How much does emergency plumbing cost in Girraween?
Emergency plumbing costs vary based on the scope of work, access to the affected area, parts required, and time on site. We provide a fixed-price quote once scope is verified onsite, so you know the cost before we begin. The price is by the job, not by the hour. If diagnostics reveal a more complex issue, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.
Are your plumbers properly insured and licensed?
Yes. All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW (Licence 305428C), and we're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation. Public Liability provides protection if accidental property damage occurs during work. Workers Compensation provides protection related to workplace injuries on the job. All technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform.
What if the problem is worse than expected once you start?
If diagnostics or initial work reveals a more complex issue?structural pipe damage, corroded sections, or additional faults?we stop, explain the situation, and provide a revised fixed-price quote before proceeding. You decide whether to proceed with the additional work once you know the cost and what's included. There's no pressure to commit on the spot.
Do you provide a warranty on emergency repairs?
Yes. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty. If there's an issue with how the work was completed, we'll return and make it right. For parts and appliances, standard manufacturer warranties apply. We explain warranty coverage before starting any work, so you know what's protected and for how long.
Can you work around my schedule for non-urgent repairs?
Yes. For non-urgent work, we can schedule a time that suits your availability. We provide clear arrival communication and ETA updates where possible, and we confirm access requirements when you book. If you need work completed outside standard hours, let us know when booking and we'll accommodate where practical.
