Bungundarra 4703 · Capricorn Coast
Bungundarra is the hill country inland and north of Yeppoon, all acreage and small farms. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
Bungundarra is properly rural, hilly, and off the reticulated network. Almost everything up here runs on rainwater tanks with a pressure pump, and treats its own wastewater on site. That makes the household its own little water utility, and the faults are utility faults rather than fixture faults. The one that catches people out is the interaction between the hills and the pump: on a sloping property the house can sit well above the tank, so the pump is working against a real static head before it does anything useful, and a pump that was fine for the old house is often not fine after an extension or a second bathroom. Water security matters here too. In a dry stretch, tank levels get low, sediment that has been sitting in the bottom for years gets stirred into the outlet, and it ends up in the pump and the tap ware. Sorting the outlet height and the screening does more good than replacing the fixtures it clogged.
Pumps working against a head they were never sized for, and sediment out of the bottom of a low tank. Both look like a pressure problem at the tap and neither is fixed at the tap.
Long, sometimes steep driveways, gates, and stock on a lot of properties. A dry weather crossing on some blocks is not a wet weather crossing. Tell us what the drive is like when you ring.

Six things, and the three at the top are what Bungundarra 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.

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.

What an absolute legend.my hot water system busted. He had it done after 1 day without it. 10/10 for communication, was the first to respond to my messages for help. Nothing was a drama. Jason was just a nice fellow that made us feel comfortable and got the job done. Decent price too. Thanks Jason.
Flowtek did a bathroom renovation for me. Great ideas and awesome quality but even a better chat.
Jason was incredibly efficient, friendly, reliable and professional. Workmanship is spot on. Absolutely recommend and will be using him again for our home Reno project.

On a Bungundarra block the house often sits well above the tank, and every metre of height costs you pressure before a tap is even opened. If the house has been extended or a bathroom added since the pump went in, the pump is very likely undersized for what it is now being asked to do. We can measure it rather than guess.
Usually not. When levels drop, the outlet ends up drawing from the sediment layer that has been sitting undisturbed in the bottom for years. Raising the outlet, adding proper screening and cleaning the tank fixes it far more often than replacing anything does.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
