Six services

Plumbing and gas services in Bungundarra

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.

Blocked drains and maintenance in Bungundarra

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.

Hot water systems in Bungundarra

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.

Gas installation and gas fitting in Bungundarra

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.

Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Bungundarra

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

Backflow and TMV testing in Bungundarra

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.

Bungundarra questions we actually get asked

The pressure is fine at the tank but poor at the house. Why?

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.

Our tank water has gone gritty. Is the tank finished?

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.

No mystery

What happens when you ring

Four things, in order. You could check every one of them the next day.

  1. You ring or you text

    Tell us the suburb and what is happening. A photo of the unit or the leak tells us more than a paragraph does.

  2. We work out what it needs

    Sometimes that is a question or two on the phone. Sometimes it is obvious from the photo.

  3. We come and look

    Nobody prices a job properly down a phone line, so we come and look before anyone talks about money.

  4. You get told what it involves

    What the job is, what it takes and what happens if you leave it. Then it is your call.

Quicker than explaining it

Not sure what you're looking at?

Take a photo of it and text that instead. The plate on a hot water unit, the fitting that is dripping, the wet patch in the yard. It tells us the make, the age and usually the fault, which saves you describing it and saves us guessing.

Texts get read between jobs. If it's an emergency, ring instead.

What we know about the pipes in Bungundarra

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.

What goes wrong at Bungundarra

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.

Access and parking in Bungundarra

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.

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.
