Water Leaks on your property can go undetected for a long time before you or the council notice. It some cases you won’t know about a leak on your property until your water meter has been read by council.
We have recently attended to many cases where the main water lines have needed to be excavated in order to find the water leak below ground.
Once the damaged section has been located, we are able to repair the copper or poly pipe using the correct and approved fittings. We test all works to ensure everything is okay and then re instate the ground cover.
The first below picture was taken recently in Keperra and luckily the tenant identified the leak straight away in the front yard from the water pooling in one area.
This leak was quite slow and the leak itself was found on a split 25mm poly. The issue was found and the repair was completed in a time manner.
This second picture is of a main water supply line in Carseldine that had been leaking for months and was only identified after council had read the water meter and found the property had a very excessively high water usage!
Plumbaround Pty Ltd can find just about every leak there is and repair it to ensure you do not waste any more water on your property than is necessary.
Some water leaks can waste up to 800 litres per day and this can go on for months!
Contact us on 3038-1038 at Plumbaround Pty Ltd is you suspect a water leak on your property and we will have a Qualified Plumber attend ASAP.

Plumbaround PtyLtd have always got you covered! We are here to ensure all your plumbing worries are put at ease, too make life easier and to ensure you are always well informed at every step of the way. An area in which we are able to do this is with a Plumbing Pre-purchase Inspection for new home owners.
Home buyers are you in the market to purchase a new home? When purchasing a new property, you will enlist the services of a qualified inspector to assess and complete a pre-purchase inspection for building and pest on the property.
However plumbing is one of the most important parts of your home and yet is underrated and almost never inspected by a Qualified Plumber before you purchase your new home.
Your home plumbing covers everything from storm and sewer lines underground, fixtures such as tap ware, toilets and showers, the cold and hot water lines that feed into your home to supply you with water, the hot water service and gutters and down pipes.
Plumbing is everywhere! There is no legal requirement to have Plumbing Pre-purchase Inspection on your new property, however in our experience we are seeing more and more home owners experience difficulty with their property plumbing after purchasing a new home.
For a minimal cost, here at Plumbaround Pty Ltd, we offer a Plumbing Pre-purchase Inspection that could literally save you thousands!!
A Plumbing Pre-purchase Inspection includes physical inspection on all plumbing on the property, photos of possible issues and a detailed report delivered in a timely manner to allow you to make a much more informed decision on your new purchase!
A second option we at Plumbaround Pty Ltd offer is to have a Camera Inspection on your storm water and sewer drain lines, which will ensure the integrity of the drain lines to the property before you purchase it. This is the only way to ensure we know exactly what is going on beneath the property. This gives you some foresight into possible problems and issues in the future.
Our third option includes both options listed above. A full Plumbing Pre-purchase Inspection to ensure to know everything there is to know about your new property.

Happy New Year to all our wonderful clients, partners and suppliers! We feel as though there was no real break between 2016 and 2017, although Warwick did manage to have Christmas day off though!! This has been the most hectic time of the year we’ve ever experienced and we’ve really hit the ground running for a great start to 2017!
Here are a couple of pics from a job recently over the New Year’s public holidays in Yeronga, where the property was flooding through the house. Upon investigation, we found the issue to be much bigger than first anticipated. 
This is a wooden floor board removed off the back deck, underneath is basically a swimming pool in the heavy rains experienced in the area. The water pooled in so quickly and the only way the water could escape is by seeping into the inside of the property.
We attended site around 10:30pm at night. Whilst there was nothing we could instantly do in the dark and the rain, I know it put the tenants mind at ease that we were able to attend so urgently.
Trouble-shooting and problem solving plays a big part in plumbing. Our plumbers can 
investigate an issue and problem solve basically on the spot for the best outcome and solution to a pressing issue.
We thank all our clients and partners for their patience over this very busy period as we endeavour to assist everyone in a timely manner, and as always we place high priority on emergencies first but we aim to attend to every job!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us day or night for all your plumbing and gas fitting needs. We are only a phone call away.

Uh-oh, how did you all go in the heavy rain last night? We are situated in Albany Creek and we had an amazing lightening show, very loud clapping thunder and awoke to early morning wake up calls to blocked drains and down pipes! All Plumbaround Pty Ltd staff had an early start to the day with the daily planned jobs ahead and many emergencies thrown in as well.
A few tenants and owners had a not so pleasant morning awakening to flooding due to blockages. Whilst there isn’t much you can do once flooding has occurred, except to contact your local Plumbaround Pty Ltd plumber to help you out. However leading into this storm season there are a few things you can do to ensure your that your property and possessions stay safe and unaffected by stormy weather. A backlog of water during a wild storm can cause subsequent overflowing and damage to your roof, ceilings and walls.
- Clean out your gutters! Yes regular maintenance on your gutters will ensure they are free from debris and that they flow correctly during heavy rains. Cleaning your gutters keeps your down pipes unblocked and free flowing as well as ensuring no rotting matter corrodes out the gutters and down pipes. Yes of course we can help you organise to clean out your gutters, contact us today for an inspection and a plan of attack before storm season hits.
- Seriously consider gutter guard protection for your gutters, especially after cleaning the gutters free of debris and especially if you have just had new gutters installed on your home! What better what to protect your gutters and down pipes and your property stormy weather. Contact us here at Plumbaround Pty Ltd for an inspection and a FREE quote today!
- If you have noticed any strange drain or pipe issues lately or in recent months, contact us and we’ll send one of our professional plumbers out to check these problem areas before a storm hits and amplifies the problem to make sure you do not have a blocked drain. Prevention is always cheaper and easier than emergency plumbing! Good luck and stay safe!

Plumbaround Pty Ltd has started some rectification plumbing works on a commercial property in Aspley. The rectification works are to the drainage below the building. Whilst the property underwent previous renovations a short while ago, the drainage lines seem to have been forgotten and not completed to the Australian Plumbing and Drainage Standards AS3500.
As you can see by the photos, there a few existing waste lines running from the commercial kitchen and are not to the Plumbing and Drainage Standard and are clearly bowing from the excessive heat running through them.
We intend to supply and install Geberit High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which is manufactured for the purpose of discharging wastewater from greasy wastes (restaurants etc), trade waste (factories), laboratory waste, sanitary and stormwater.
Geberit HDPE is temperature resistant and can be used in drainage systems for discharge temperatures up to 80° C and therefore suiting the purpose of this commercial property.
The job is now set to commence after a slight delay in which we consulted with a Brisbane City Council Plumbing Inspector on most efficient way to achieve the best possible outcome for this commercial premises. Can not believe it previously passed on a plumbing inspection!
Geberit HDPE pipes and fittings are UV stabilised, and are low on maintenance. The HDPE pipe gives out a low heat loss through the pipe wall which prevents grease and fat from solidifying on its way out to the grease trap.
Geberit HDPE has a higher abrasion resistance than metal which gives it the edge over other materials in drainage applications where abrasion effects the life of the pipework and it is extremely resistant to chemicals and solvents. Itis the ideal material for use in Trade Waste, Greasy Waste, DWV, Stormwater, Laboratory or Industrial Drainage applications.
We will post some photos once the job is completed, it will look totally different!!
