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.

Leave your details and we will ring you back.
Acoustic gear on the slab first, to narrow it down to a small area without opening anything up.
Thermal imaging for hot water lines, or tracer gas if the line is too deep or too quiet to hear.
You get a mark on the floor or the wall and a photo of what we found.
The repair is quoted separately, once we know exactly where the leak is.
Read it off your last bill for an answer in seconds, or shut the water off and watch the meter for an hour for the accurate one. Either way you will know before you pay anybody to look.
Two numbers off your rates notice. Look for the water meter readings on page two: the kilolitres used and the days charged sit next to each other.
Soggy ground but nothing moving on the meter means the leak is on their side, not yours. Gold Coast, ring the council on 1300 000 928. Brisbane, ring Urban Utilities on 13 23 64.
Both areas will take money off your bill if you lost a lot of water through a genuinely concealed leak. The rules are different in each, and both want a licensed plumber's invoice and report. We set the paperwork up the way they want to see it.
For concealed or underground supply pipe leaks, not a dripping tap, a running toilet or an irrigation fault. Apply within twelve months of the repair.

A hidden leak does not tell you where it is. What you normally notice is a bill that makes no sense, a warm patch on the floor, damp in a wall, or a meter still ticking with every tap off. Under a slab the water can travel, so the wet patch and the leak are often metres apart. That is why we listen for it first with acoustic gear, and use thermal imaging or tracer gas if we need to, rather than opening up the most likely spot and hoping.

If anything here is not clear, ring and ask before you book.
The common signs are a water bill that climbed with nothing to show for it, a wet patch in the lawn or a garden bed that never dries, a warm spot in the floor, damp in a wall or ceiling with no obvious source, or a meter still ticking with every tap in the house off. There is a checker further down this page if you want to work it out before you ring.
No. Finding it is done from the surface with acoustic gear, thermal imaging or tracer gas, depending on the pipe and how deep it is. Digging only comes into it once we know where the leak is, and that gets quoted first.
No. The $299 covers finding it. Once we know where it is you get a price for the repair before anything starts.
It depends on the size of the property and how easy the leak is to hear. Most jobs are done in the one visit.
We will tell you. It happens occasionally. We would rather tell you it looks like a roof problem than open your slab to prove it was not us.
That can happen with an intermittent leak. We will tell you what we ruled out and what we would do next rather than guessing at a repair.
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.
fantastic plumbing experience GENIES Plumbing installed a new shower for me. Sensational job done. THEY WERE FRIENDLY, DILIGENT, answered all questions, cleaned up, Very happy with the finished product. Thank you GENIES plumbing!
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 ! Good pricing and would definitely recommend Genie Plumbing ✓ Worth 6 stars ★★★★★★ Geoff Tamplin
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.
Really Impressed !!! Blake and Genies Plumbing did an amazing job and a great price. They listened to what I needed and made it work. They were available really quickly to do the job and I’m really happy with the result.... Already got a couple more jobs for them to do...Well Done Genies Plumbing
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.
Genies Plumbing team was very friendly and explained the different options we could choose from. They were able to do the job the next day! Would recommend and will be having them again for any plumbing needs.
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!!
Great service, friendly, reliable and professional. Thanks to Blake and Lachy, we had a water main leak detected and repaired in no time. They went above and beyond to make sure we had rectified the issue quickly. Highly recommended and will be using Genies for all of our plumbing needs in the future
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.
