Which one is yours in Nerimbera?
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.

Blocked drains and maintenance in Nerimbera
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 Nerimbera
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 Nerimbera
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 Nerimbera
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.

Flowtek did a bathroom renovation for me. Great ideas and awesome quality but even a better chat.

Google reviews from across Yeppoon, Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast, quoted exactly as they were written.
Couldn’t recommend this service enough! My husband was away and my kitchen sink backed up, he came and fixed it that day and gave me some great advice to stop it happening again. The price was great! I was quoted twice that by the bigger companies and they also couldn’t get to me for days.
Jemma Crowley Google review, April 2024
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.

Nerimbera questions we actually get asked
The drain keeps blocking and plunging does nothing. What is going on?
At Nerimbera that pattern usually means the problem is downstream of the fixture, in the on-site treatment system or the soakage, not in the pipe you are plunging. If the property has been through a flood event, silt and infiltration are the usual causes. Plunging a system fault just moves it around.
We had water through the property. What should we get checked?
The stormwater lines and gullies for silt, the on-site treatment system for infiltration, and anything electrical attached to a pump. Those are the three that keep causing problems long after everything has dried out.
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 Nerimbera
Nerimbera is riverside and rural residential, on the Rockhampton side of the run out to the coast. Two things define it. The first is the Fitzroy. The river has come up over parts of the Rockhampton floodplain more than once in living memory, most recently in 2011 and 2017, and a property that has been inundated carries that in its plumbing afterwards: silt in stormwater lines, gully surrounds that have shifted, and on-site wastewater systems that took in water they were never meant to take. The second is that a good share of Nerimbera is not connected to reticulated sewer, so those households treat their own wastewater. Put the two together and you get the local job that comes up here more than anywhere else: an on-site treatment system that has been affected by water from outside it, which shows up as a drain that will not clear no matter how many times it is plunged.
What goes wrong at Nerimbera
On-site wastewater and stormwater that have been through a flood event. Silted lines and soakage that has stopped soaking. It presents as a blockage and it is a system problem.

Access and parking in Nerimbera
Acreage and riverside blocks with long drives. Some low-lying access changes character in the wet, so tell us what the drive is doing before we set out.
