It was great to be a part of this quality build. Just one of the several projects around the Capricorn Coast we’re involved in with Corbett Homes.

One of the houses we have been working on this year….. very large and will be stunning when it’s finished and fantastic views to boot.

Whether you have an onsite sewerage system, septic tank and trench or are connected to town sewerage, fats/oils/grease (FOGs) poured down the house drains and into these systems can cause costly repairs and maintenance. FOGs will solidify once cooled down and will clog drains and pipes. Whether you have your own sewerage system or are connected to town sewer, the maintenance and repairs will cost you directly (hiring someone to fix your own personal system) or indirectly (rates for a town connected sewer)

An aerated system, as indicated by the name, blows air through the system to help with the breakdown of waste matter. This aeration when mixed with FOGs, can create 'fat balls' (see pic) which can then lead to blockages. Not all FOGs will be caught up into a ball so there will still be liquid fat filling up the pipes, decanter, irrigation and moving parts.

What can we do with our FOGs?

> Pour cooking oils, fats and grease into a container that can be sealed and place the sealed container into the rubbish bin for collection
> Wipe out frypans, saucepans and cooking utensils with paper towel and place paper towel in bin (paper towel is designed to not break down easily and can cause blockages itself)
> Don't put food scraps down the kitchen sink as the FOGs are not removed from the food (insinkerators are not recommended for onsite sewerage systems). Recycle scraps into compost or place in bin

What is the accepted matter that can be flushed into the drains?

> Bodily waste and toilet paper - only!

What does not go down the kitchen sink, toilet, waste drains of our dwelling?

> Paper towel, cotton buds, baby/adult wipes, feminine hygiene products, contraception products and other foreign matter. These should all be disposed of through general waste collection

2020 was a super busy, crazy, constantly changing type of year for everyone, including us. We had lots of work last year and we also said goodbye to Chels Ahern, who worked with us from an apprentice in 2010 to a qualified plumber giving a dedicated 10 years of service to Bondoola Plumbing. Thank you Chelsea for all your hard work and we couldn’t be prouder of you. Change is good to get new experiences and skills and I’m sure she will flourish in her role at Council. We miss her but know that she is developing her skills set even further for her future in the industry.

Thank you to all of our customers for keeping us busy last year and sorry to those we couldn’t assist due to our workload being so demanding. We appreciate all of the support and patronage. This year is shaping up to be busy again already with new builds, Ozzi Kleen installations and servicing, roof work and a myriad of plumbing jobs ahead of us.

We look forward to assisting you with your plumbing and gasfitting needs in 2021 and hope this year is great for everyone!

Another bathroom renovation completed. First picture shows the original bathroom. It was a large size bathroom (approx 3m x 3m) with a raised bath tub on one wall and a small shower area with vanity and toilet on the opposite wall. Our customers, Molly and Mick were unsure of what would be the best layout and wanted to incorporate a laundry area in the bathroom. We designed a few layouts for them to choose from and locked in on the plan (see pic) where the two areas were separated by partition walls for privacy, airflow over them and to create a new, larger shower area.

We suggested a skylight above the shower to let more light in as the window was quite small for the larger room. Replacing the window would have reduced the wall space for the laundry/vanity/toilet area so this was a good solution. The shower went from a tiny 900mm square to a 1400mm x 1200mm rectangle and the extra space is appreciated by Mick and Molly.

The floor tiles are a soft grey (looks darker in the photos) with brisk white wall tiles and natural white paint on other areas with matt black fixtures and tapware. Molly and Mick have chosen to decorate their new bathroom in bright, funky and fresh colours that looks so colourful and inviting. Mick has been hands on with assisting at every stage and is going to add the finishing touches around the window.

Thanks Mick and Molly for choosing Bondoola Plumbing to help you to create a fresh new bathroom 😊

Thank you also to CQ Tiling, Wally Hall Electrician, Ben Bamford Carpenter, Tim North Plasterer and Luke Blair Plasterer.

Bondoola Plumbing will be attending the Sustainable Livingstone Expo on Sunday 29 September in Beaman Park. Come down and say hello 😊. We will have information to help you save water in the home and reuse your waste water in your gardens. With many towns across Queensland suffering from this current drought and running out of water, it makes sense to be water wise and reuse your water wherever you can.

Freshly completed bathroom renovation. The before photos (last few) show two separate rooms with a plinth under the toilet and a bathtub set high from the ground which was no longer safe to use for the owners. This reno factored in the age of the owners with ease of accessibility.

An Ozzi Kleen Septic Tank and an On-site Sewerage System arrived at home for some of our customers. The third one was delivered directly to site in Parkhurst. Going to be a busy time for us getting these all installed. The septic tank will be heading to Duaringa and the on-site system is being installed around the corner from us in Bondoola. If you are looking to upgrade/install a new system/septic, Ozzi Kleen are quality units and are Queensland owned and manufactured. Head to the Ozzi Kleen Water & Waste Water page or their website https://www.ozzikleen.com.au/ for more information on these great units.
