Hot & Cold Water Royal Brisbane Hospital. Find it first.
From a $90 dripping tap to a slab leak that's quietly chewing through your water bill — water work is what we do most. Detection comes before demolition: find the fault before opening up the wall.
What's covered
- Water leak detection
- Leak and pipe repair
- Pipe install / replacement
- Water pressure issues
- Garden tap installation
- Bathroom renovation plumbing
Every water line, diagnosed first.
Acoustic, thermal, dye trace, pressure test — we use the right method for the leak. Most water bills jump 30–100% before anyone notices the cause; catching the leak in week one is a $300 job, catching it in month six is a $30,000 insurance dispute.

WestinghouseWhat's included.
Water Leak Detection
Acoustic correlation, thermal imaging, dye tracing, and pressure testing — whichever fits the leak type. We pinpoint to within centimetres before any wall comes off.
- Acoustic leak survey
- Thermal imaging behind walls
- Dye trace for pool/planter leaks
- Slab leak detection
Water Leak Repairs
Once we've located it, the repair is usually quick. Pinhole leaks, failed solder joints, cracked fittings — common fixes with brand-matched parts.
- Pinhole and joint repair
- Slab leak repair
- Pipe section replacement
- Pressure-test on completion
Water Line Installation
New supply lines for additions, extensions, sheds, granny flats. Copper or PEX depending on application. Sized to flow requirements.
- Copper or PEX install
- Sized to flow and pressure
- Compliance where regulated
- Insulation in cold zones
Water Line Replacement
Galvanised pipes from pre-1980 Royal Brisbane Hospital homes corrode from the inside out — the symptoms are weak flow, rust-coloured water, and recurring pinhole leaks. Replacement is usually a section-by-section copper or PEX rebuild.
- Galvanised pipe replacement
- Whole-house re-plumb option
- Minimal-disruption sectioning
- Pressure-test before sign-off
Water Meter Leaks
If your meter is spinning when nothing's running, you've got a leak between the meter and the house. We isolate, locate, and repair — and we provide documentation if you need to dispute a water bill.
- Meter isolation test
- Underground leak location
- Repair quoted before work
- Documentation for water authority
Water Pressure Issues
Too much pressure damages every fitting in the house and wears out washers fast. Too little, and showers feel like trickles. We pressure-test, install limiters, or upgrade lines as needed.
- Pressure measurement + report
- Pressure-limiting valve install
- Line sizing diagnosis
- Boost pump option for low-flow
Water Point Installation
New outlets for fridges with water lines, garden irrigation, outdoor showers, pool top-ups. Backflow-protected per Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) rules.
- Backflow protection compliant
- Indoor or outdoor outlets
- Sized for intended use
- Insulated in cold-snap zones
Garden Tap Installation
Outdoor brass tap installs and replacements. Frost-protected fittings for Royal Brisbane Hospital winters. Backflow-protected as required by Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).
- Brass quarter-turn or compression
- Backflow prevention device
- Frost cover for winter
- Concrete or stud-frame mounting
Bathroom Renovation Plumbing
Rough-in for renovation builds. Supply lines and waste pipes set in the wall and floor, pressure-tested, ready for waterproofing and tiling. Then we come back for fit-off once the tiler's done.
- Two-stage rough-in + fit-off
- Coordinated with builder/tiler
- Pressure-test before tiling
- Compliance on fit-off
