Hot Water Installation
We specialise in installing electric, gas, solar, and heat pump hot water systems tailored to household needs. Our experts assess your usage patterns and property requirements to recommend energy-efficient solutions that reduce long-term costs. All installations comply with Australian standards and come with a 100% workmanship guarantee.
Gas Leak Detection
Our gas leak detection service uses advanced acoustic and pressure testing equipment to locate faults in LPG and natural gas lines. Certified technicians perform safety checks and repairs to prevent hazards while ensuring compliance with Queensland licensing requirements. Emergency call-outs are available 24/7 for urgent situations.
Drain Camera Inspections
We conduct CCTV drain inspections to identify blockages, cracks, or root intrusions in underground pipes without excavation. This non-invasive method allows precise diagnosis of issues in drainage systems for both residential and commercial properties. Results inform targeted repairs that minimise disruption and costs.
Emergency Plumbing
Available round-the-clock, our emergency plumbing service addresses burst pipes, no hot water, and severe leaks. Rapid response teams carry essential tools and parts to resolve critical issues within hours. Temporary solutions are provided when permanent fixes require additional time or materials.
Bathroom Renovations
We manage complete bathroom renovations including plumbing layout redesigns, water-efficient fixture installations, and compliance upgrades. Projects incorporate modern design trends while optimising functionality and water conservation. All work meets Queensland building codes and includes warranty coverage.

Murphy Plumbing and Gas have been on the journey to get more life out of my old gas hot water system for a few years now. Finally the time came for a new one, just after Christmas.The team had everything organised to install first thing, as quoted a while ago. Everyone, from Todd, to the office staff to Joe the fabulous installer were professional and friendly. Highly, highly recommend for all your plumbing needs.

Positive:Professionalism,Punctuality,Responsiveness
They were very professional when organising the visit. Adam arrived on time. He was very polite. He fixed our toilet, unblocked the shower wastes (and showed me how to do it next time), installed a water filter under the sink and fixed a leaking drain. When he finished he cleaned up after himself. Would highly recommend.

Promp and excellent service; I called Murphy Plumbing this morning and from first contact to completion was about 4 hours. I was updated with the scheduling of my job. The friendly, professional young plumbers Andy and Indie were efficient and did a great job, were very considerate and all at a very reasonable price. I'd give both the company and the plumbers more stars if I could.
