Six services

Plumbing and gas services in Mulambin

Six things, and the three at the top are what Mulambin 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 Mulambin

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.

Emergency plumbing in Mulambin

Hot water systems in Mulambin

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.

Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Mulambin

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

Gas installation and gas fitting in Mulambin

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.

Backflow and TMV testing in Mulambin

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

Mulambin questions we actually get asked

Water backs up in the yard on a big rain. Can that be fixed?

Sometimes fully, sometimes only improved, and at Mulambin it is worth being honest about which. On low, flat ground beside tidal water there is a limit to how much fall you can create. What usually helps is catching the water where it collects rather than where it arrives, and getting it into a line that still has somewhere to discharge. We will tell you which of the two you are looking at before you spend anything.

We rent the house out. Can you deal with the guest directly?

Yes, as long as you have told us to. Give us the access arrangement and your authority up front and we will keep you across what we find and what it costs before we do the work.

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.

Get a Mulambin plumber out

Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.

The quickest way for us to get back to you.
Not on the list? Type it in and we will tell you straight whether we come out there.
The make and age of the unit, or where the water is coming from, saves us both a trip.

What we know about the pipes in Mulambin

Mulambin is the flattest and lowest part of this stretch of coast, sitting beside the Causeway Lake, and that is the whole story for drainage here. Stormwater needs fall to work, and on flat ground beside tidal water there is very little of it. On a big rain that coincides with a high tide, the water simply has nowhere to go, so surface flooding here is about the tide as much as the rainfall. The second feature is who owns the houses. A large share of Mulambin is holiday houses and short-stay rentals rather than owner-occupied, which means faults get found by a guest at a bad time and reported to an owner who is somewhere else. We are used to that: give us the access arrangement and a number that will answer, and we will report back with what we found before we do anything.

What goes wrong at Mulambin

Drainage that cannot fall away on a high tide, and salt on everything outdoors. In the rental stock, it is usually the fixtures that get the hardest life, so tap ware, cisterns and shower mixers.

Access and parking in Mulambin

Flat and easy to get around. The practical issue is holiday season traffic on the Scenic Highway around the Causeway Lake, not the sites themselves.

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.
