Great responsive service to a difficult situation where the gas HWU stopped working – no hot water, and guests were checked in. Found out at 11am and fixed/replaced by 2pm. Thank you so much Brad and team!
I had a very pleasant experience today when my problem (a hole in my lawn caused by a leak in a pipe) was fixed at no expense to me. This was not a plumbing job and I appreciated the generous gesture.
Just like the water that flows from our Northern Rivers catchments to your property, we believe in providing clear, reliable answers.
It’s often better to call a plumber sooner rather than later to prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Some signs you might need a plumber include: leaky taps, slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds in your pipes, low water pressure, unpleasant odours and recurring blockages. If you notice any of these or other issues, don’t hesitate to contact us.
We provide upfront pricing, giving you an estimate before we begin. While adjustments may be needed based on the situation, we’ll communicate any changes clearly and transparently. Rest assured, we offer competitive pricing for top-quality plumbing work. Pop through an enquiry outlining your plumbing needs and we’ll give you a free, no-obligation quote.
This all depends on the scope of work involved. A simple repair, like clearing a blocked drain, might be completed within an hour or two. More complex projects, such as a full hot water system installation or extensive guttering replacement, can take several hours or even a full day. We understand that your time is valuable. That’s why, when you contact us for a quote, we’ll provide a realistic estimate of the time required for your specific job and keep you informed once we’re working on it.
We recommend installing backflow prevention devices, ensuring proper drainage and regularly inspecting your plumbing system for potential weaknesses. Call us to schedule routine repairs, installation and maintenance.
Safety first! If you suspect a gas leak or have another plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or a blocked sewer line, here’s what you should do:
Tell us where you are located and what services you need. We’ll dispatch the right team of plumbers to your location, whether you’re in Ballina or anywhere through the Northern Rivers.
