Your Local Plumber in The Gap — Acreage & Family Home Specialists

The Gap is a highly desirable family suburb at the base of the D'Aguilar Range — bushland setting, excellent schools, and spacious homes on generous blocks. Many properties have more complex plumbing than a standard suburban home — rainwater tanks, multiple outdoor taps, irrigation systems, and larger hot water demands. Khaki Plumbing understands The Gap's specific plumbing requirements.

Plumbing in The Gap — Bigger Blocks, More Complex Systems

The Gap's proximity to the D'Aguilar Range means many properties are on larger blocks — some acreage, many with significant garden areas, and nearly all with multiple outdoor water points. Rainwater tank connections, irrigation, and pool fill connections are common in The Gap and add complexity to the plumbing system.

The suburb's bushland setting and large native trees also mean root intrusion in drain lines is a regular issue we deal with throughout The Gap — particularly in the older properties along Payne Road and in the original residential streets.

We work across all of The Gap's residential streets and estates — from the older homes near the suburb's entrance through to the newer estates further into the hillside.

Case Study

Rainwater Tank Integration — The Gap

Problem: A homeowner had a large rainwater tank installed but it wasn't connected to the house — all the collected water was going to the garden only.
Solution: Connected the tank to the toilet cisterns and laundry cold water supply with a proper mains backup system — so the house automatically switches to mains if the tank empties.
Result: The family now uses rainwater for toilets and laundry — reducing their water bill significantly and using their tank properly.
Case Study

Root Intrusion — The Gap Bushland Block

Problem: A homeowner on a large bush block off Payne Road had recurring drain blockages. Three attempts with liquid products hadn't solved it.
Solution: CCTV found a eucalyptus root at 21 metres — a native tree root that had found the one weak joint in the clay sewer line. Hydro-jetted and lined.
Result: No further blockages. The homeowner was glad to have the actual problem diagnosed and fixed rather than just managed.
Case Study

Large Home Hot Water — The Gap

Problem: A family of six in a large Gap home were running out of hot water daily. Their single 250L storage system was undersized for the property.
Solution: Installed two 315L heat pump systems plumbed in series — giving the home 630L of hot water capacity. Also lodged the STC rebate for both units.
Result: Hot water for the whole family at any time of day. Energy savings on two heat pump units versus the original electric system was significant.
