Red Hill is a different world from the coast. Bigger blocks, cooler winters and properties spread across vineyards, orchards and bush. Some homes are on mains water. Plenty rely on rainwater tanks, and many aren't connected to mains sewer. Lots of properties run on LPG bottles rather than mains gas.
So there's more that can go wrong, and more places to look when it does. A pump in the shed. A long line out to the stables. A tank up the back paddock. We know to look beyond the house.
Rainwater Tank Plumbing in Red Hill
If your water comes from a tank, the whole house depends on it. We install, connect and repair tank systems, including:
Tank-to-house connections : New tanks plumbed in properly, with overflows running where they should.
Pressure pumps: Installed, replaced and repaired, so every tap gets decent pressure.
Mains and tank together: Got both? We keep them properly separated with the right backflow protection.
First-flush diverters and filters: They keep leaves, grit and the first dirty rain out of your tank and taps.
Leaking tanks and fittings: Outlets, valves and pipework fixed before you lose a tankful.
Pump Running When No Tap's On?
That's one of the most common signs of a leak on a tank system. Somewhere, water is escaping and the pump is working to keep up. Switch the pump off at the power and give us a call. We'll trace the leak, whether it's under the house or out in the paddock.
LPG Gas Fitting in Red Hill
Off the mains? Our licensed gas fitters are just as at home with LPG bottles as with natural gas. As your LPG gas fitter in Red Hill, we install and service cooktops, heaters and LPG hot water. We fit and replace bottle regulators and changeover valves. And we can convert suitable appliances between natural gas and LPG using the maker's conversion kit.
Every job is leak tested before we leave. Smell gas near the bottles? Close the valve on each cylinder, keep flames well away and call us or your LPG supplier. See our full gas fitting services.
Hot Water and Heating for Hinterland Winters
Winters on the ridge are cold and wet, so reliable hot water matters. We repair and replace gas, LPG and electric hot water systems, sized to suit your household.
Hydronic Heating
Almac also installs and services hydronic heating. A boiler heats water that flows through radiators or panels in each room. It's gentle, even warmth that suits bigger homes. Prefer a real fire? Take a look at wood heater installation in Red Hill.

Sheds, studios and guest cottages

— FAQ'S
Plumbing & Gas Fitting Red Hill

Explore clear and concise answers to the questions you care about most.
Do you work on rainwater tank systems in Red Hill?
Yes. We install and connect tanks, fit and repair pumps, and fix leaks in tank plumbing. If you have mains water too, we'll make sure the two are properly separated.
Why does my water pump keep turning on by itself?
Usually there's a leak somewhere, or a fault with the pump's pressure switch. Switch the pump off at the power to protect it, then give us a call.
Can I have gas appliances without mains gas?
Yes. Many gas appliances come in LPG versions, and plenty can be converted with the maker's kit. We'll check yours and set it up safely.
Are you a plumber for Main Ridge and Merricks too?
Yes. We cover Main Ridge, Merricks and Red Hill South, along with the rest of the hinterland.
Can you run water and gas out to a shed or studio?
Yes. We can run new water and LPG lines to sheds, studios and guest cottages. Then we connect the hot water and fixtures.
