Your Local Caloundra West Plumber
Straight answers, fixed prices and a plumber who answers his own phone.
I'm Damian, owner of PAGE Tradie Plumbing & Gas. I've been plumbing for over 25 years in the UK and Australia, and Caloundra West is right next door to me, so I'm in and around its streets most weeks. I work for homeowners, landlords and property managers across the suburb.
Caloundra West is a real mix: homes that have been here 15 to 25 years, newer estates, and larger blocks with rainwater tanks and pumps. Each has its own common problems, and I know what to look for in each. When you call, you get me. I quote the job, make sure it's done properly, and I'm the one you ring if anything isn't right afterwards.
Common Plumbing Problems in Caloundra West
What I see most across the suburb's older streets, newer estates and tank properties.
Hot Water Systems at the End of Their Life
Plenty of Caloundra West homes are still running their original hot water system. Once a tank passes 10 to 12 years, leaks, rusty water and failed elements become common. I'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or whether it's time to replace.
Tree Roots & Slow Drains
In the established streets, mature gardens mean roots finding their way into sewer and stormwater lines. Slow drains and gurgling toilets are the first signs. I clear them properly and use a camera when a blockage keeps coming back.
Rainwater Tanks, Pumps & Changeover Valves
Lots of Caloundra West properties run on tank water. Pumps that cycle or run on, low pressure on the tank side, and rain to mains changeover valves (often Aquasaver) that stop switching are all regular jobs for me.
Leaking Taps, Toilets & Worn Valves
Dripping mixers, running cisterns, and worn pressure limiting and tempering valves that cause low pressure, banging pipes or uneven hot water. Small jobs, but left alone they waste water and wear out your fixtures.

Caloundra West Plumbing FAQs
Straight answers to the questions I get asked most.
My hot water has stopped working. How quickly can you help?
Hot water failures are a priority, and being close by means I can often get there the same day. Call me for a straight answer on timing. Most replacements are done in a single visit, and hot water quotes are always free.
How old is too old for a hot water system?
Most electric storage tanks last around 10 to 12 years, sometimes longer with good water and regular servicing. If yours is around that age and leaking, giving rusty water or tripping the power, it's usually more cost-effective to replace than repair. I'll check it and give you an honest recommendation.
Do you work on rainwater tanks and pumps?
Yes. I repair and service tank pumps, pressure switches and check valves, and fix rain to mains changeover valves, including Aquasaver units, that stop switching to mains when the tank runs dry. Read more about tanks not switching to mains.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
In Caloundra West's established streets the most common cause is tree roots in older sewer and stormwater pipes, followed by grease and wipes. If a drain keeps blocking, a CCTV camera inspection shows exactly what's going on so the fix actually lasts.
How much does a plumber cost in Caloundra West?
You get a clear price before I start. As a guide, blocked drain clearing starts from $210, hot water repairs from $165, a standard 250L electric hot water replacement is installed from $2,400, and gas work from $190. Where I can't price a job until I find the problem, like a hidden leak, it's $165 per hour inc GST in business hours, with a 1-hour minimum plus parts.
Do you work on rental properties?
Yes. I work with landlords and property managers across Caloundra West, arrange access directly with tenants, and provide clear job reports, photos and invoices that suit property management records.
How do I book?
Call me directly on 0447 655 396 and you'll speak to me, not a call centre. Or send your details through the quote form and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm off the tools.
