What we fix

  • Fittings and pipework aged early by salt air near the water
  • Old galvanised still in plenty of the beachside houses
  • Mains under pressure that have simply let go
  • A burst in a tower that shows up two floors down
  • Hidden bursts under a slab or inside a wall
What is going on

Why this happens

Salt is the thing people underestimate here. Anywhere within a few streets of the Broadwater, the canals or the beach, fittings and pipework age faster than the same gear five kilometres inland. A system that would run fifteen years at Nerang can be finished in eight at Labrador.

The older beachside suburbs still have galvanised supply in plenty of houses. Galvanised fails from the inside out, so the first sign is pressure quietly dropping off rather than a wet patch. By the time it shows on a wall it has been going a while.

In the high-rise strip it is different again. A burst inside a tower is never one apartment's problem, and the unit with the water stain is rarely the unit with the fault.

Whichever it is, the first job is stopping the water. The second is working out why it went, because a pipe that failed from corrosion has neighbours that are the same age.

Burst & Leaking Pipes Gold Coast
How we do it

What actually happens on the job

1

Get the water off

First thing, before anything else. If you have not already, we do it on arrival.

2

Find it precisely

Visible bursts are quick. Hidden ones need acoustic and pressure testing so the repair is a small opening rather than a trench or a wall coming down.

3

Repair it

Most repairs are done on the same visit. If a longer section has gone, we tell you what that involves and what it costs before starting.

4

Check the rest

If a pipe let go because the material is at the end of its life, the rest of that run is on the same clock. Better to know now.

Straight about money

What it costs

95 leak and burst jobs completed and counted, out of 1,060 jobs all up.

No call-out fee, the price agreed before anyone starts, and it does not move once you have said yes. We can usually get to you today.

Quoted on the spot before any work starts, burst or not.

A single repair on an accessible pipe is straightforward. Under a slab, in a wall or under a driveway costs more, and we tell you which before we start.

$0 call-out and free quotes.

Before you ring

Burst pipe or a slow leak? How to tell, and what to do first

The first few minutes matter more than anything a plumber does later. Here is how to work out what you have and what to do about it.

  1. 1
    Water pressure has dropped across the whole house

    Something upstream has failed. Turn the water off at the meter and check whether the meter dial is still turning.

  2. 2
    You can hear running water with every tap off

    There is a break somewhere in the pressurised line. Turn the water off at the meter now. This does not settle down on its own.

  3. 3
    A wet patch on a wall or ceiling that is spreading

    Water travels along framing before it shows, so the wet patch is rarely above the break. Turn the water off and do not put a hole in the wall looking for it.

  4. 4
    Pressure was fine, then got worse over a year or two

    Not a burst. That is old galvanised pipe narrowing from the inside as it rusts. It is a planned job rather than an emergency, and it is cheaper done in one go than in four separate call outs.

  5. 5
    Water near anything electrical

    Stop. Turn the power off at the switchboard before you go near it, and tell us when you ring so we know what we are walking into.

If you take one thing from this: know where your water meter is and how to turn it off, before you need to. It is the difference between a wet floor and a wet house.

Worth knowing before you ring

Burst & Leaking Pipes Gold Coast, in plain terms

Salt, and what it does to fittings

Within a few streets of the Broadwater, the canals or the beach, everything metal ages faster than the book says. Salt gets into fittings, sits there, and works on them every day.

It means a pipe that would give you thirty years inland can go a good deal sooner here, and it means the fitting is often the thing that failed rather than the pipe either side of it.

Bursts in a tower

In the high-rise strip a burst is never one apartment's problem. Water finds the quickest way down and the unit with the stain on the ceiling is usually not the unit with the broken pipe.

That makes finding it properly the whole job. Guessing means opening somebody else's ceiling for nothing, and in a building that is a conversation nobody enjoys.

What we do first

Water off, before anything else. If you have not already found the main tap we do it on arrival, and it is the first thing we ask about on the phone.

Then we work out whether it is a repair or a length of pipe at the end of its life, and you get the price for either before we start.

Here to help

Not sure if it is a burst & leaking pipes gold coast job?

That is fine. Most people ring us with symptoms, not answers. We will help you work out what needs doing and what can wait.

A quick call helps more than perfect wording

You do not need to know whether to call it burst & leaking pipes gold coast or something else. Tell us what you can see, what has changed, and whether the problem is getting worse. From there we can send the right gear instead of making you diagnose it.

We slow down when the choice matters

Some burst & leaking pipes gold coast work has more than one sensible fix. If a smaller repair will get you through, we will say so. If it is likely to fail again soon, we will say that too, then let you choose what suits the house and the budget.

Small details help us arrive prepared

For burst & leaking pipes gold coast, photos can save time: the label, the leak, the access point, or the place where water is showing. We still confirm it on site, but the extra context helps us bring what the job is likely to need.

Matt came to our home was a delight to work with. Excellent workmanship and very courteous. Went above and beyond to assist. He provided us with quotes for various plumbing items, he quickly provided a detailed quote, explained options. He was excellent at commencing work in one area, and double checked water pressure in our area, hot water system and the plumbing items I had purchased. A great tradesman. Thoroughly recommend. Thankyou Matt.

Had an issue with our 16 year old toilet leaking from underneath the pan somewhere. Called Blake & he sent Lachlan out the following morning to diagnose & quote. Lachlan gave us 3 options, which was great. We chose the middle one, which included replacing all the internals, so hopefully we should be OK for another 16 years! Both Blake & Lachlan were great to deal with & Lachlan did a great job - definitely better than the original installation, which looked a bit dodgy! Happy to recommend.

This is the type of plumbing service that everybody wants. They quote before they do the job. They turn up when they say they will. And they're very good at what they do. Good Service - Fair Price - not something you normally say about Plumbers these days. Keep up the great work Blake, Lachie and Raif.

Amazing service. Highly recommend Lachlan and Genies Plumbing. Thank you for taking time out of your Saturday to put in my new hot water system. Truly a work of art!

Absolutely amazing service from the moment I got in touch with them, and in particular Blake. I explained to him my issue and he took the time and effort (completely unprompted) in providing steps of how he would tackle the problem. When it came time to actually have the issue physically looked at, Lachie gave me a call and let me know how far away he was; he arrived promptly and on-time, and was able to very quickly diagnose and provide a solution. I was quoted on the spot and not pressured whatsoever to have more things looked at than I needed to, which I very much appreciated. While I've got my fingers crossed to not have any further short-term issues with my property's plumbing, I'd wholeheartedly recommend these guys and gals to anyone willing to listen. I'm sure there are many other great plumbing businesses around the Gold Coast, but for my money I'd much rather support a local family-owned business providing a very honest and transparent service, who also aren't looking to bleed your wallet dry.

Very happy with the service from Genies Plumbing. We had a leaking kitchen tap and Blake was out in a couple of hours. He sourced a new one, came back later in the day and fitted it. He advised his arrival times very efficiently and was friendly and polite. Would certainly recommend him and call on him again when necessary.

Matty was honest, genuine, and professional from start to finish. It’s not always easy to find a plumber you can trust, but Matty was upfront, reliable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. A great company with fantastic service. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumber. I wish them every bit of success in the future - they truly deserve it!

Genie plumbing was magic !! Locky was here on time and knew his trade !! We are doing a renovation in the bathroom and he was great! He is coming back today to install the hot n cold pipes, then the fit out next. The drainage was installed first trip. Nothing was a problem for Lochy !

I live in a unit complex and had to get my hot water system replaced as it was old and also to meet the current standards and regulations. I contacted the boys at Genies Plumbing. To say I was happy with their service is an understatement. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They were prompt professional and very neat and tidy and took the time to show me how everything worked and answer all my questions. Thanks Blake and Lachlan for a great job.

Lachlan from Genies Plumbing arrived on time and thoroughly looked over the job before providing us with a quote which he fully explained. He then cracked on with the work and did an amazing job! He was super easy to deal with and had our bathroom fitted off and functioning within a couple of hours. Very pleased we used Genies Plumbing and would recommend them.

I had a blocked kitchen sink and was quite concerned about the potential for damage and inconvenience. I called Genies Plumbing and once again received outstanding service from Blake. He was prompt, professional, and explained everything clearly. This isn’t the first time I’ve called on Blake, and every time he delivers reliable, high-quality work with genuine care. I really appreciate his consistency, attention to detail, and friendly approach. Highly recommend Genies Plumbing — especially Blake — for exceptional service you can trust!

Blake and Lachlan assisted us with a very complex realignment. They were brilliant. They took the time to explain everything, kept me updated with any issues that arose, kept on time and impressively on budget. They could not have worked harder to resolve our issues. I was so worried that we would need to crack our slab and have to retile the majority of our house. These boys made a plan and stuck to it. Fabulous outcome!!

Blake and Lachlan from Genies Plumbing were really helpful when installing a new hot water heater in my home. It was a quick process with excellent workmanship and very reasonable cost. They were both lovely to deal with and communicated with me at all times. I am so glad Genies Plumbing was recommended to me by my electrician. Will definitely call on them again. Trish

From the moment we made the call with our list of to do's - to the moment the boys came and left after the job completion- the entire help was incredible, and the workmanship was thorough and detailed and reasonable". This workmanship advise is Beyond MOST service and help we have experienced over the last few years. Thank you boys! This type of experience is often not the most favourite one for many people, but in this case, what a great time to get everything sorted with an ease of mind and honesty personified. 2 showers 1 bath 1 laundry 1 bathroom sink Thanks again team - we'll see you again. You'll be our first point of call . A++++

I called Blake to help locate a tricky water leak on our acreage property, he quickly identified multiple leaks on both the council and our side of the line and got them all fixed. He kept us informed every step of the way, and was incredibly responsive and professional, and a genuinely nice person. He's also helping put together a storm water system to help manage the water drainage away from the house during storms. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Blake for any plumbing job, big or small.

Had some plumbing work done by Blake from Genies Plumbing — removal of an old water meter and repair/replacement of some leaking pipework. Communication was great from start to finish, he was prompt, friendly, well priced, and made sure everything was cleaned up afterwards. Really happy with the work. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

How fast can you get to a burst pipe?

Ring rather than filling in the form and we will tell you a real time. If we cannot get there today we say so on the phone instead of leaving you waiting.

Should I turn the water off myself?

Yes, at the meter if you can reach it safely. It costs you nothing and it stops the damage getting worse while we are on the way.

Why do pipes fail faster near the water?

Salt in the air corrodes metal fittings and fixings, and the closer you are the faster it happens. It is worth choosing fittings with that in mind rather than replacing the same part every few years.

Will you find what caused it or just patch it?

We find the cause. Patching a corroded line without saying the rest of it is the same age is not much of a favour.
