Had Shane out today to do a camera inspection on our drainage, he was very pleasant to deal with and talk to me through the process and showed me that there is no issues with my drains. Very happy with this company once again highly recommend. Show reply
After a solid week of trying to sort it out we decided to finally call in the cavalry. Shane came out today and cleared our blocked basin waste; got the job done very efficiently and was a pleasure to deal with. Definitely will go to these guys again in future!
Would not recommend, especially if you have an elderly or vulnerable family member relying on this company. Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage charged my 80-year-old mother $5,443.21 to supply and install a hot water system while I was away. When I saw the invoice I thought it seemed high, so I had two independent tradespeople inspect the completed… Read more
job and the invoice — both quoted a fair market price of between $2,300 and $2,500 for the same work, meaning she was charged more than double.
When I queried this with the company, a staff member named [Name Removed] said he'd look into it and call back within 10 minutes. He didn't call back. Two days later I called him myself, and he said there was nothing he could do because it was their "standard" charge, with no willingness to review or adjust it.
I have no doubt this isn't an isolated incident. If you or a family member are getting a quote from this company, get a second opinion first — I wish we had.

Needed a new storm water pipe put in due to tree roots. Brad looked after us with his great workers Shane , Jack, Nathan and Drew the digger thank you for a great job.
We’re very happy with the whole process. Dion was very friendly and very helpful.
I’m very happy with Dion’s service. Following an urgent request he attended late in the evening to help with a dripping tap, which turned out to be a bigger problem than expected. He was able to get the water back on for me in time for the family to come over and watch state of origin, and then was able to come back during the week to complete the… Read more
rest of the works. I was very happy with his professionalism and friendliness. Thank you very much, Dion.
Wanted a new toilet cistern and seat installed, called Brisbane plumbing and drainage who sent out Shane. Shane was fantastic gave us a couple of options and then once we decided on what we wanted he went and got the parts and installed it straight away. Can’t fault his work or service.
Dion was an exceptionally competent and kindly technician who did a great job and explained everything as he went. His expertise is much appreciated. Yesterday Jake was similar in how he dealt with the job and found the fault quickly and efficiently. He was also very friendly and communicative. Thank you to Brisbane plumbing and drainage. We would recommend you where ever requested by friends.
It’s a wonderful job, definitely a wonderful job. Clean and everything done, and very quick! I expected a bigger cut and was happy with how small the hole in the wall is
My hot water system was leaking everywhere so I called Brisbane plumbing and drainage who sent out Shane to have a look, Shane determined that the tank had ruptured inside and needed replacing and has organised for one to be done the same day. Very happy with Shane service and knowledge he was great.

Good with the key job and very good at investigating other plumbing issues. Barbara
Shane came out today to remove a sink disposal unit and found that our sink had holes rusted in it and organised to get a new one. Replace it all straight away. Super happy with his work and our new sink.
We always look forward to having you, Dion because you’re always so helpful. We discuss our problems with you and you come up with answer…if there is one!
Shane installed a new heat pump hot water system for me today and Alex did some electrical work. They were both fantastic and very lovely to deal with. Explained everything thoroughly. I couldn’t be happier with their work and their service. Show reply
We had water leaking everywhere through our yard and out onto the street from a broken water main. Shane arrived promptly, quickly located the problem, and had it repaired in no time. His workmanship was professional, efficient, and of a high standard. The leak was fixed properly, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We are extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Shane to anyone needing plumbing repairs.

Shane recently installed three new basin mixer taps for us and fitted new isolation valves underneath each one. While he was here, he also fixed our kitchen mixer and restored the flow rate back to what it should be, which was fantastic. What really impressed us was that he carried out this extra work at no additional charge as a complimentary… Read more

Shane came around today to look at our burst hot water system, Shane was great and explained everything thoroughly and has organised for a new one to be installed tomorrow. Very happy with his service.
We just had Shane around to do a complementary annual inspection on some drainage work we had done previously, Shane was a pleasure to deal with and did a comprehensive inspection including camera footage of inside the drains. Highly recommend this company they are fantastic.
Had a leak from my toilet and called Brisbane plumbing and drainage who sent out Shane, he quickly diagnose the problem and found that it was the inlet valve that was leaking and had one on board so he replaced it straight away from me. Very happy with the service and Shane‘s work.
Negative reviews
I was a loyal customer of theirs until today. I have been a repeat customer of theirs for some time and this means nothing to this money hungry company. We were in need of a hot water system asap and they knew this and quoted $5500 for a hot water system. At this.point I should have researched other companies, however I trusted this company after… Read more
all I was a repeat customer. I went ahead with the install and later found an ad for installed system of exact same brand model and volume for $2300 installed. They had overcharged me.$3200. To top this off they then had the nerve to add on $2700 to inspect drain and pulse some water down. We now have a hole in the ground and a hole in the pipe where they accessed. They then quoted $26000 to reline 8 segments of pipe. We aren't much. We are a family that like many are struggling with rising living costs and to then have a company take advantage of people makes me incredibly upset and annoyed..please, anyone needing a plumber, DO NOT USE this company. I'm also submitting a complaint to the ACCC so others dont get scorched.
If you need a plumber for an emergency plumbing job then your in the right place. they do charge like a wounded bull tho be prepared to empty your wallet as they make $1900.00 per hour plus parts I've just paid just under $1300 for 30 mins work to fit a $300.00 valve to the hot water system. They were very professional and called to let me know… Read more
they were over 2 Hours late and let me know the cost up front. Also note they have a standard review of 5 stars and an auto comment stating very happy with work so don't believe all the reviews on their site.
We sought a quote for a garbage grinder that just fallen off its bracket (mount) and had displaced the nearby pipe. Had [Name Removed] come around to quote who quickly told us that the entire plumbing needed to be replaced. It clearly did not need replacing only reconnecting however when we questioned this, we were told that this was absolutely… Read more
necessary. Nothing was broken. We were quoted almost $1000 for the job. We subsequently sought a second quote which came in at $250, which would be the absolute maximum charged. We consider Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage to be engaging in opportunistic price gouging. We later received a call from their service manager who advised us that our response was unacceptable even though he was quite rude himself and, as a service manager, achieved nothing. We swore at the situation however never did we swear or abuse [Name Removed]. [Name Removed] had a few words to say to us at the door as he was leaving. Will never ever use or recommend Brisbane Plumbing and Drainage as, in our opinion, are trying to take customers for a ride and undertake works that are not required and overpriced.
