Which one is yours in Glenmore?
Something has stopped working properly
No hot water, a drain that is slow, a tap that will not stop. It can wait a day, but it is not going to fix itself.

Six services
Plumbing and gas services in Glenmore
Six things, and the three at the top are what Glenmore 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.
Hot water systems in Glenmore
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.

Blocked drains and maintenance in Glenmore
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.

Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Glenmore
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.

Gas installation and gas fitting in Glenmore
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
Backflow and TMV testing in Glenmore
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
Emergency plumbing in Glenmore
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.

Glenmore questions we actually get asked
We keep getting small leaks in different places. Is that a coincidence?
In a Glenmore house of that age it usually is not. When copper reaches the point of pinholing, the first leak is a warning about the rest of the run, not a one-off. Each repair is cheap and the sequence of them is not, so it is worth us assessing the whole run before you keep paying for patches.
Does the Rockhampton heat really shorten a hot water system's life?
It does not help. A unit sitting in full afternoon sun on a west wall through a Rockhampton summer works harder on its seals and its valve than the same unit in shade. Where an outdoor unit is going in, where we put it is worth thirty seconds of thought.
No mystery
What happens when you ring
Four things, in order. You could check every one of them the next day.
-
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.
-
We work out what it needs
Sometimes that is a question or two on the phone. Sometimes it is obvious from the photo.
-
We come and look
Nobody prices a job properly down a phone line, so we come and look before anyone talks about money.
-
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 Glenmore
Glenmore is the awkward age, and that is exactly why it keeps us busy. The bulk of it is lowset brick from the 1960s through the 1980s, with newer infill dropped in between. A house from that era is old enough that the original copper is at the point where pinhole leaks start turning up, and old enough that the second hot water system, not the first, is now due. It is not old enough to be on clay sewer throughout like Park Avenue, so the drainage is generally better behaved. The thing we see most in Glenmore is a house that has had one thing replaced at a time over forty years, so there are three generations of fitting on the one wall and nobody knows which isolator does what. It is also hot here. Rockhampton summers push into the high thirties regularly, and an outdoor hot water unit or an exposed run on a west wall lives a harder life than the same unit would on the coast.
What goes wrong in Glenmore
Pinhole leaks in ageing copper, and hot water systems on their second or third replacement. Both are age, not abuse.

Access and parking in Glenmore
Established streets with mature trees and standard suburban frontage. Nothing unusual, though tree roots near an older line are worth checking before anyone digs.
