Drainage
When it comes to drainage, we'll take care of everything. From installation and maintenance to repairs and unblocking services, on new builds, homes and businesses.
Blocked drains
Hair balls, root intrusion or a build up of debris, we can clear it. We use CCTV detection equipment and high pressure jetters.
Gas fitting
Gas appliances, connections and leaks need a licensed professional to keep your home safe. Our gas fitters are licensed and experienced.
Leak detection
Got a leak that needs finding and fixing? With CCTV detection equipment and excavation gear, we'll dig out the broken pipework and replace it.
Hot water systems
Shower always running out of heat, or need a little extra water pressure? We upgrade hot water systems: electric, gas, solar and others.
Bathroom renovations
We work with other builders in Townsville on complete bathroom renovations. Update your old bathroom and add real value to your home.
Plumbing maintenance
Scheduled maintenance helps catch blockages and wear and tear before they become bigger problems. We'll look after your plumbing.
