Every photograph on this page is from a Flowtek job. None of it is stock, and where we have not recorded which street a job was on, we say so rather than picking a suburb that sounds good.

Taranganba

Stormwater solutions in Taranganba

The problem. In March of the previous year a significant flooding event occurred, because the ground level sloped inwards towards the building, and there was no adequate stormwater drainage in the vicinity to take the water once it got there.

The challenge. Inward sloping ground. On a site like this you cannot regrade your way out of it, and no amount of guttering helps once the water is already on the ground and heading for the wall.

What we did. We installed strategically placed drainage pits to capture and redirect surface water away from the building. The pits went where the water actually collected rather than where it arrived, and they were piped to somewhere that still had somewhere to discharge.

Other jobs, and what is going on in each one

These are Flowtek jobs. We have not recorded the street for each of them, so we are not going to attach a suburb to one just because it would read well.

A large two-storey heritage Queenslander under restoration behind site fencing, with a Flowtek Services Plumbing and Gas banner on the hoarding — A heritage Queenslander mid-restoration, our banner on the hoarding. Old houses like this are the ones where the plumbing is a genuine puzzle.

A Flowtek Services plumber in a hi-vis Flowtek shirt laying PVC drainage pipe into a gravel-bedded trench, with a laser level, spirit level and reciprocating saw beside him — New drainage laid on a gravel bed, set to grade with a laser level. Fall is the whole job, and it is the part you cannot fix later.

Runs of copper and steel services pipework on a commercial ceiling, each line labelled with its own identification tape reading compressed air, vacuum and reverse osmosis water — Compressed air, vacuum, reverse osmosis water. On a commercial fitout every line is identified, because the next person to open that ceiling has to know what they are looking at.

A Flowtek Services plumber walking through a house under construction, exposed pine timber frame and roof trusses, teal steel window frames and a raw concrete floor — A new build at frame stage. We come through before the sheeting goes on and after it comes off.

Jason Breingan of Flowtek Services testing a backflow prevention device on a brick wall, a differential pressure gauge and red, blue and yellow test hoses connected to the device — A backflow device under test. The gauge reads the pressure differential across the valve, and that reading is what goes on the report.

The van, and everything on it. If it is parked out the front, the job is on.
