Sound familiar

What we fix

  • Sewer and stormwater cameraed before storm season
  • Hot water systems and their relief valves checked over
  • Every tap and toilet in the house looked at
  • A meter test to catch a leak nobody has noticed
  • A written list of what needs doing, worst first
What is going on

Why this happens

Almost every emergency we go to was preventable, and nearly all of them gave warning first. A drain that has been slow for a year. A hot water system that has been noisy since winter. A toilet that has run quietly since the last time anyone mentioned it. None of them were urgent until the day they were.

The pattern is worse in a rental, because the person living in the house is not the person paying for the repair, and small faults get lived with instead of reported. By the time it turns into a phone call there is usually water somewhere it should not be.

Older houses are the other case. A place from the fifties or sixties has clay sewer, ageing galvanised supply and tapware well past its parts, and all of it arrives at the end at roughly the same time. Knowing the order to do it in is the difference between a plan and a run of surprises.

Storm season is the deadline that matters up here. Stormwater lines that have been half shut all year cope in ordinary rain and back up in the first real storm, which is exactly when nobody is available.

Preventative Maintenance
How we do it

What actually happens on the job

1

Book it for a quiet time

This is the one plumbing visit that is not urgent, so it goes in when it suits you instead of at the worst possible moment.

2

Camera the lines that matter

The sewer and the stormwater, particularly on an older house or one with big trees. Roots show up on camera long before they shut anything down.

3

Check the fittings and the meter

Every tap and toilet, the hot water system and its relief valve, and a meter test with everything off to catch a leak nobody knew about.

4

Written list, worst first

What needs doing now, what will need doing this year, and what is fine. You decide what goes ahead and when.

Straight about money

What it costs

Quoted before the visit, because for once the scope is known in advance.

Anything found gets quoted separately, and nothing is fixed on the day without you agreeing to it first.

$0 call-out and free quotes.

Worth knowing before you ring

Preventative Maintenance, in plain terms

What a check actually covers

A camera down the sewer and the stormwater where it is warranted, every tap and toilet in the house looked at, the hot water system and its relief valve checked, and a meter test with everything off to catch a leak nobody has noticed.

You get a written list at the end: what needs doing now, what will need doing this year, and what is fine. Nothing gets fixed on the day unless you want it done and the price is agreed.

Why rentals get the most out of it

The person living in the house is not the person paying for the repair, so small faults get lived with rather than reported. A slow drain gets mentioned when it finally backs up, not when it started.

A check once a year turns that into a scheduled repair at a time that suits you, instead of an after hours call-out on a Sunday.

Before storm season, not after

Stormwater that is half blocked copes with ordinary rain all year and nobody knows. The first real storm is when it backs up, and that is exactly when every plumber in town is already out.

Getting the lines cameraed and cleared in the quiet months is the whole point. It is the one plumbing visit you get to book at your own convenience.

Here to help

Not sure if it is a preventative maintenance 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 preventative maintenance 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 preventative maintenance 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 preventative maintenance, 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 ! 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.

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!!

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.

Before you book

Questions we get asked

What does a check actually include?

A camera down the sewer and stormwater where it is warranted, every tap and toilet checked, the hot water system and its relief valve looked over, and a meter test for hidden leaks.

How often is it worth doing?

Once a year suits most houses. Older places with big trees, or a property that has blocked before, are better off every six months.

Is it worth it on a rental?

That is where it pays best. Tenants report faults late, and a yearly check turns an emergency call-out into a scheduled repair.

Do you fix things on the day?

Small things, yes, if you want them done and the price is agreed. Anything bigger goes on the list with a price against it so you can decide.
