Our Tingalpa Plumbing Services
If it involves water, drains, gas, or fixtures, we handle it. Here’s what our Plumbing Tingalpateam does day in, day out.
1) 24/7 Emergency Plumbing
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Blocked drains and overflowing toilets
- Sudden loss of water or pressure
- Gas smells or suspected leaks.
- Hot water system breakdowns
- Roof leaks and stormwater flooding
How we respond:We provide quick phone triage, arrive with the right gear, isolate the issue to make your home safe, then complete a robust fix or temporary stabilisation before a full repair.
2) Blocked Drains & Toilets
Tingalpa’s established trees, older pipework in classic homes, and construction debris in newer estates can all cause stubborn blockages.
We use:
- CCTV inspectionsto locate the exact fault (roots, collapses, fat build-up, foreign objects)
- Hydro-jettingto clear heavy build-ups fast
- Root removaland targeted repairs
- Pipe relining(where suitable) to restore internal pipe surfaces without major excavation
- Toilet repairs and replacementsfor reliable, efficient flushing
Early warning signs:
- Gurgling in sinks and floor wastes
- Slow-draining showers or basins
- Sewer smells—especially after rain.
- Water is backing up when multiple fixtures are running.
3) Hot Water Systems (Repair, Service, Replacement)
Nothing derails a morning like a dead hot water unit. We service, repair, and replace systems to match your household size, layout, and usage patterns.
We work with:
- Electric storage systems
- Gas continuous-flow and storage
- Heat pump and solar-compatible systems
- Tempering and mixing valves for safe water delivery
Common fixes:
- Elements and thermostats (electric)
- Pilot, burner, and gas train servicing (gas)
- Anodes and valves
- Leak detection, tank change-outs, and tidy replacements when units reach end-of-life
4) Leak Detection & Pipe Repairs
Hidden leaks can quietly hike your water bill and damage walls, floors, and cabinetry. We track them down with non-invasive methods, then carry out pinpoint repairs to limit disruption.
Leak clues to watch for:
- Unexplained water usage increases
- Damp patches, swollen cabinetry, or paint bubbles
- Musty odours
- Hissing behind walls or under floors
5) Taps, Mixers & Fixtures
From persistent drips to outdated fittings, we repair or replace taps, mixers, spouts, showerheads, and laundry troughs. If you’re freshening up a kitchen or bathroom, we’ll coordinate the plumbing so everything looks sharp and functions perfectly.
6) Toilets & Cisterns
A running cistern wastes water and money. We replace seals and valves, re-seat loose pans, fix slow fills and phantom flushes, and install new suites when a swap makes more sense than ongoing patch-ups.
7) Gas Fitting (Residential & Small Commercial)
Gas is brilliant—when it’s installed, tested, and maintained properly. We add new gas points, convert appliances (where appropriate), service heaters and cooktops, locate leaks, and commission systems safely. If you ever smell gas, call us immediately and follow our safety steps.
8) Roof, Gutter & Downpipe Plumbing
Summer storms can test any roof. We find and fix roof leaks, repair or replace gutters and downpipes, install leaf guards, and improve stormwater flow so water goes where it should—away from your home and foundations.
9) Bathroom, Kitchen & Laundry Upgrades
Planning a reno in Tingalpa? Loop us in early. We’ll help with fixture selection, rough-ins, fall and drainage planning, and neat fit-offs. We’ll happily coordinate with your builder, tiler, sparkie, and cabinetmaker to keep timelines on track.
10) Backflow & Water Efficiency
Where backflow prevention devices are required, we install and service them correctly. We also advise on sensible water-saving upgrades that actually make a difference to daily use.

Tingalpa Plumbing: Common Local Issues (and Our Fixes)
Mature trees & older pipes
Roots love the moisture in small pipe cracks. We identify intrusions with CCTV, clear them via hydro-jet, and—when appropriate—reline or replace the affected section for a longer-term fix.
Hot water at the end of life
Many systems run well for years, then suddenly start leaking or losing performance. We’ll assess condition and efficiency, service where sensible, or help you choose a replacement that suits your household.
Stormwater stress in summer
Heavy downpours can overwhelm gutters and yard drains. We improve falls, add capacity, install extra pits where needed, and make sure water flows away from structures.
Renovation missteps
DIY or rushed renovations can cause future headaches—poorly placed wastes, incorrect falls, or mismatched fixtures. We straighten things up and set you up for a reliable, tidy finish.
