Emergency Plumber in Loganholme

A burst pipe, a yard full of water and taps that have stopped each call for a different first step, and if floodwater reached your gas, hot water or pumps, they need checking by the right licensed trade before use. The suburb mixes urban streets with bigger rural-residential blocks, and the state’s 2017 flood mapping takes in far more of the second, but that says nothing about any one address. This page is for homeowners, landlords and property managers who need the first check and the first call sorted out quickly. Jim Monger Plumbing and Gas does plumbing and gas work, and emergency calls are taken 24/7 on 0418 871 269. Go to the part that fits your fault, make it safe, then ring us.

Ringing from Loganholme? The Pacific and Logan motorways are described as splitting the suburb, so give us your street and nearest cross street, not just the suburb name. If water is running, tell us whether it is before or after the meter, because that decides who fixes it.

The state’s mapping of the 2017 flood covers about 40 percent of the Loganholme locality, by our own calculation from its floodline layer. The same sum gives about 29 percent for Slacks Creek, 5 for Cornubia and none for Springwood or Underwood, so what a neighbouring suburb went through is a poor guide to your place. Much of Alexander Clark Park sits inside the line, but the map records one event, not a risk rating, so look up your own address on Council’s Logan Flood Portal.

Inside the suburb the line falls unevenly: about 57 percent of rural-residential land sits within it, against about 6 percent of urban residential land, so owners of bigger blocks have the most reason to check the portal. Those are 2012 land areas, not homes, and most of the area inside the line is not residential. The checks do not change with land class; the floodwater and hot water entries set them out by trade.

On a suburban street, that 6 percent is not an all-clear. Council warns its mapping may not show local creek or overland flow flooding, and the state’s watercourse mapping names only the Logan River here, leaving 48 other segments unnamed. So if water came through your place, run the same checks instead of trusting the river map, and when you ring, tell us which side of the block it came from.

On a long block the meter could be a fair way from the house (our reasoning, not Logan Water’s), so find it before you need it. Flats were 1.8 percent of occupied dwellings at the 2021 Census against 12.5 for Queensland, so your meter is likely to be yours alone. Semi-detached homes and townhouses, at 5.4 percent, are the ones to check.

Logan’s largest wastewater treatment plant is in this suburb, but it no longer accepts home septic pump-outs. If your block is on septic, ask your contractor where the waste goes before you book; Council lists Redlands City Council among the alternatives.

State geology mapping here runs from river terrace to swampy basin to older rock, and our calculation from state mapping shows acid sulfate soil present across about 23 percent of the locality, against about 3 for Cornubia. Both are regional maps, not a test of your yard, so we cannot say what an underground repair involves until the site is seen; raise the soil map with whoever digs.
