Plumber Parkwood: Hot Water, Gas & Leak Detection
Parkwood (4214) is where Tensor Plumbing is based, so it's the suburb we can reach fastest. We look after hot water repairs and replacements, leaking taps and toilets, gas appliance connections and hidden leaks for Parkwood homes from the streets around the golf course to the newer pockets near the hospital and university precinct. Being local also means we can usually fit in a follow-up visit without much fuss.
Local knowledge
Plumbing and hot water in Parkwood
Areas covered: All of Parkwood, from the golf course streets and Parkwood Village to the areas around the Parkwood and Parkwood East light rail stations and the hospital and university precinct.
Most of Parkwood was built through the 1980s and 1990s: single-storey brick and tile homes on quarter-acre blocks, many still running the hot water system and copper pipework they were built with, or a second system that is itself now getting on. Electric storage tanks on an off-peak tariff are the norm, so a lot of what we do here is replacing a tank that has started leaking from the base, or a relief valve that won't stop dripping.
The other common thread is ageing tapware and flexible hoses under kitchen and bathroom sinks. Braided hoses fitted 15 to 20 years ago rust and burst without much warning, and a burst hose under a vanity can do a lot of damage before anyone notices. Swapping them out during another job is a quick, cheap insurance policy.
Closer to the hospital, the university and the light rail, there are more townhouses, duplexes and rentals. Those jobs often involve a property manager and a tenant, so we keep the paperwork tidy: a clear quote, photos of what we found and a short note of what was done.

Questions
Parkwood plumbing FAQs
Are you really based in Parkwood?
Yes. Tensor Plumbing is based in Parkwood and works across the Gold Coast. We don't publish a street address because we're a mobile service with no shopfront, but Parkwood is home base, so it's the suburb we can get to quickest.
My Parkwood home still has its original hot water system. Should I replace it before it fails?
If it's well past 12 to 15 years old, it's worth planning ahead rather than waiting for a flood in the garage. Send us a photo of the label and we can talk through like-for-like and heat pump options, with the federal STC discount where a system is eligible.
Can you work on rentals near the hospital and university?
Yes. We regularly deal with property managers. We can arrange access with the tenant through the manager and send photos and a short report afterwards.
Do you replace braided flexible hoses?
Yes. If your hoses are rusting, bulging or more than 10 years old, replacing them is quick and far cheaper than the water damage a burst hose can cause. We often do it alongside another job.
