Berserker 4701 · Rockhampton
Berserker sits at the foot of the Berserker Range on the north side of Rockhampton. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
Berserker is a high-set timber suburb, and that is genuinely good news for a plumber and for the person paying. A lot of the housing here is 1950s to 1970s Queensland-style homes up on stumps, which means the water lines and much of the waste run underneath in the open where you can see them. Compared with chasing a leak inside a slab, working under a Berserker house is quick, and a repair that would be a demolition job elsewhere is often an hour with a torch. The catch is what all that easy access has encouraged over seventy years. Under a house of this age we routinely find three or four generations of pipework spliced together, jointed with whatever was on the truck at the time, and supported by whatever was handy. It works until one joint lets go, and then the question is whether to patch the joint or rationalise the run. On the sewer side the age is the same as Park Avenue, so roots in older lines come up here too.
Accumulated under-house patchwork. Mixed materials and improvised joints that have quietly held for decades, until one of them does not.
High-set houses with good under-house access, which is the best access in Rockhampton for water line work. Watch for low headroom at the front where the stumps get short.
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 Berserker 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
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.
More on renovations
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.
Gas fitting
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.

It depends what is either side of it. If the failed joint is one of several improvised connections in mixed materials, patching it just moves the next failure along. If the rest of the run is sound and consistent, patching is the sensible call. We will show you what is under there and tell you which one you have, because under a Berserker house you can actually see it.
For water line work, generally yes. Getting to the pipe is most of the cost on a slab-on-ground house, and under a high-set Berserker home that part is almost free. Sewer in the ground is the same job it is anywhere.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
