Adelaide Park 4703 · Capricorn Coast
Adelaide Park is the rural residential country just inland of Yeppoon, on undulating ground. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
The thing that defines plumbing at Adelaide Park is the length of the private line. On a block this size the water meter can sit a long way from the house, and everything between the two is the owner's pipe, not the council's. That is where the expensive faults hide. A slow leak in a buried private main on an acre block does not show up as a wet patch, because the ground takes it. It shows up on the bill, months later, and by then it has been running the whole time. The other feature here is a mix of eras on the same street: older acreage houses with pipework that has been extended a few times, next to new builds where everything is current. Sheds, second dwellings and stock troughs get plumbed in over the years by whoever was around, so the layout is rarely what the house plan says it is.
Underground leaks in a long private water main. On acreage the ground absorbs the water and the first sign is the bill. Locating it properly beats trenching the whole run.
Long driveways and gates. Give us the gate arrangement and tell us where the meter is, because on a block this size finding the meter is often the first ten minutes of the job.
That figure is a distance, not a promise about the clock. Our local emergency team is ready to respond promptly during all active business hours. Ring us and we will tell you what we can actually do and when.
Six things, and the three at the top are what Adelaide Park rings us about most. Every one of them is done by a licensed plumber and gas fitter, and the site gets cleaned up before we leave.
Water coming back up through the plugholes, and the plunger has given up. Blocked dunnies, leaking taps, corroded pipework and water pressure that is either a dribble or a rumble. This is the bread and butter service call.

You turn on the tap and wait for it to warm up. And wait. And wait. We install energy efficient hot water systems and troubleshoot the one you already have. Instantaneous gas, solar and heat pump, plus repairs on whatever is out there now.
More on hot water
Make sure you are (safely) cooking with gas. Gas is the licensed, higher risk work a handyman cannot legally touch. Hot water systems, stovetops and ovens are the speciality, domestic and commercial, including commercial kitchens.

Creating your dream bathroom, kitchen or laundry? The plumbing you cannot see is the part that ruins a renovation. We cover the water and the gas on the same job, so a kitchen with a gas cooktop takes one trade instead of two.
Renovations
The test is annual, and the reminder never comes at a good time. Backflow valves stop contaminated water flowing back into the drinking supply. Thermostatic mixing valves blend hot and cold to a safe temperature so nobody gets scalded. Both need testing, and we test and repair on the spot.
Backflow and TMV
Water is going everywhere and it is not stopping on its own. Our local emergency team is ready to respond promptly during all active business hours. Burst pipes, water leaks, blocked drains and suspected gas leaks.

Turn every tap off, including the toilets and any irrigation, then watch the meter. If it is still turning, you have a leak on your side. On an Adelaide Park block that is almost always the buried private main between the meter and the house. We locate it before we dig, because trenching a full run on acreage is a big job to do blind.
Yes, water and gas both. The part worth doing properly is the run from the existing supply, because a shed line that is undersized or laid too shallow becomes somebody's problem in five years.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
