Zilzie 4710 · Capricorn Coast
Zilzie is the newest growth on this coast, immediately north of Emu Park. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
Zilzie is the youngest housing stock on the Capricorn Coast, and that changes what a plumber is for. Most of the estate here has gone in over the last fifteen to twenty years, so the pipe in the ground is PVC and pex, the drainage was designed rather than inherited, and outright failures are rare. What we actually do in Zilzie is add and upgrade: a gas point for a cooktop or an outdoor kitchen, an ensuite that was left out of the original build, a rainwater tank plumbed back into the house, and hot water changeovers now that the first round of units on the earliest lots is reaching the age where the anode is gone. There is older acreage behind the estate that runs tank supply and on-site treatment, and that is a different job entirely. The blocks here are generally large, which makes an outdoor kitchen or a second bathroom straightforward rather than a squeeze.
Additions, not repairs. Gas points, ensuites, outdoor kitchens and hot water upgrades. The failure work that does come in is the first generation of hot water units on the earliest estate lots.
New estate streets, wide and easy, with room to work on most blocks. The acreage behind will have a 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 Zilzie 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.
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.

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
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.
Blocked drains
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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jason from Flowtek services for the installation of two new toilets. I cannot express enough how helpful and knowledgeable he was throughout the process. Unlike other plumbers who simply gave me a quote, Jason took the time to educate me on my purchases and ensure that I made informed decisions. He was prompt, reliable, and patiently addressed every question I had. It is evident that he takes great pride in his work and places a strong emphasis on providing exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Jason and Flowtek services for all your plumbing needs.

Not necessarily. On a storage system the sacrificial anode is designed to be eaten so the tank is not, and on this coast it goes faster. If the anode is checked before it is fully gone, you can add years to the tank. If it has already gone, the tank is on borrowed time and it is worth planning the replacement rather than reacting to it.
Usually, yes, and the newer the build the more likely it is straightforward, because the drainage was designed with capacity rather than inherited. The question that decides the cost is where the nearest waste and vent are, so it is worth us looking before the plan is finalised.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
