Tanby 4703 · Capricorn Coast
Tanby is the rural residential belt between Yeppoon and Emu Park, along Tanby Road. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
Tanby is the in-between country, big blocks on the road that links the two coastal towns. The plumbing story here is layers. Most of these properties have been added to over decades: a shed with a laundry tub in it, a second dwelling or a granny flat, a stock trough, an irrigation line to the house paddock, all put in at different times by different hands. So on a Tanby job the first thing we do is work out what is actually there, because the layout almost never matches what anybody remembers. A good share of blocks run tank water with a pressure pump and treat their own wastewater on site, which puts the supply and the treatment system on the owner rather than on the council. The practical upshot is that a Tanby fault is usually a system problem, not a single broken fitting.
Additions that were never mapped. A line to a shed or a trough that nobody can find the isolator for, and pump or tank supply faults that look like a fixture problem until you follow the pipe.
Long driveways and gates on most blocks. If there is stock or a dog, say so on the phone. Tell us where the house sits on the block, because a street number on Tanby Road can be a few hundred metres from the gate.
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.
Six things, and the three at the top are what Tanby 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.
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.

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.
More on gas fitting
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.
More on hot water
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
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
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.
EmergencyWe work across Capricorn Coast from Yeppoon, but we are not going to put a made-up job or a borrowed photo on this page to prove it. If we have done work at your place in Tanby, a Google review helps your neighbours far more than anything we could write here.

Usually, yes. On a Tanby block we trace it from the supply rather than guessing, and while we are there it is worth putting an isolator somewhere you can actually reach, so the next fault does not mean shutting the whole property down.
Yes. Out here it is nearly always bottled LPG for cooking and hot water, and it is licensed work. Bottle location, regulator and the run to the appliance all have to be right, and we leave you the paperwork.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
