Patrick

Genuine pros who coordinate complex pipe repairs

Thank you Chad and Lee for repairing the burst recycled water inlet pipe in our property! What a relief for us that we can now sleep through the night and not thinking that the pipe may burst again at any time from the temporary capping made. These guys are very genuine professionals who will explain everything they will do from start to finish. They are not the ones who will just do the job for the sake of money. Chad and Lee thoroughly investigated the burst pipe in our property and we were advised how they are not allowed to touch it as they’d found out that the problem was coming from the main recycled water. They even helped us through coordinating with the people that might be involved to solve the issue. Finally, got the approval from the land developer. Chad and Lee came on the site again to fix the pipe. I feel sorry that they’re all muddy and soaked for doing the job and they still answered me with a smile. We are overall very satisfied with the job well done and we find the pricing reasonably fair as well considering what they went through. Will definitely keep Playford Plumbing and Gas for future use and will highly recommend to friends and family that will be in need! ❤️ Positive: Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value.
