Which one is yours in Park Avenue?
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 Park Avenue
Six things, and the three at the top are what Park Avenue 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 Park Avenue
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 Park Avenue
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 Park Avenue
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.
More on renovationsEverything else we cover in Park Avenue
Gas installation and gas fitting in Park Avenue
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 Park Avenue
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

Jason responded quickly to our call and had someone arrive in 20 minutes to sort out our water pressure issue. Tradesman Brad was professional and efficient and had our problem solved in no time. Would most definitely call Flowtek Services again, thanks guys!
Amie Gleeson Google review, February 2026
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.

Park Avenue questions we actually get asked
The drain has been cleared three times in two years. Why does it keep blocking?
On a Park Avenue property that pattern almost always means roots in an old clay sewer line, and the interval getting shorter each time means the pipe is losing the fight. Clearing it again will work, and it will work for less time than last time. A camera down the line will tell you whether you are looking at another clear, a reline, or a replacement, and that is worth knowing before you spend more on rodding.
Is galvanised water pipe still a problem in these houses?
We do still find it. Galvanised corrodes from the inside, so it narrows before it leaks, and the symptom is falling pressure and discoloured water rather than anything dramatic. If your house is that era and the pressure has quietly got worse over years, that is the likely reason.
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 Park Avenue
Park Avenue is old enough that what is in the ground matters more than what is on the wall. Much of the suburb is post-war and 1950s to 1960s housing, high-set timber and lowset brick, and on houses of that vintage in Rockhampton we still find vitreous clay sewer lines in service. Clay pipe is jointed rather than welded, and every one of those joints is an invitation to a tree root. Park Avenue has mature street trees and mature backyard trees, which is exactly the combination that produces the classic call here: a drain that clears fine, then blocks again in six months, then again in five. Cutting the roots out treats the symptom. A camera down the line tells you whether the pipe itself has failed, and on a run of clay that has already been rodded a few times the honest answer is often relining or replacement rather than another clear. The water side is similar in age, with galvanised and early copper still turning up.
What goes wrong in Park Avenue
Tree roots in old vitreous clay sewer. It clears, then comes back, then comes back sooner. After that it is galvanised and early copper water lines reaching the end.

Access and parking in Park Avenue
Established streets with mature trees. High-set houses give good under-house access, which makes water line work far easier than it is on a slab.
