Which areas around Bullsbrook do you cover?

Bullsbrook, Upper Swan, Brigadoon and Walyunga. If you’re further up the highway or off a side road, call (08) 6187 3999 with the address — we’ll say yes or no before you wait.

How long does it take to get to Bullsbrook from Ellenbrook?

It’s a northern rural run from Ellenbrook, not a same-suburb hop. Travel time depends on where we are and which road you’re on. We give a real ETA when you call rather than a blanket promise.

Do you do septic tanks or ATUs in Bullsbrook?

No. We don’t install, pump or service septic tanks or aerobic treatment units. For scheme-sewered homes we handle the property plumbing as normal. For septic issues, use a septic contractor.

Can you work on bore water plumbing?

We repair licensed plumbing on the house and potable side. Bore pumps, spears and irrigation controllers are usually a reticulation or bore specialist. Describe the setup when you ring and we’ll tell you if it’s us.

Do you do gas fitting on LPG properties in Upper Swan?

Yes. Licensed gas fitting covers LPG bottles, regulators, cooktops and hot water where it’s our scope. If you smell gas, ventilate, avoid ignition sources, and call ATCO on 13 13 52 for natural gas emergencies — for LPG bottle leaks, isolate if safe and call us or the emergency line on the bottle.

Plumber in Bullsbrook, Upper Swan, Brigadoon and Walyunga

Rural and semi-rural lots north of Ellenbrook — longer driveways, tanks and bores on many properties, and Great Northern Highway access. We’ll be honest about the run time before you wait around.

The short answer

Yes, McDermott Plumbing covers Bullsbrook, Upper Swan, Brigadoon and Walyunga for licensed plumbing and gas: burst pipes, blocked drains on sewered properties, hot water repairs and replacements, leak detection and gas fitting. We’re based in Ellenbrook, so this is a northern rural run — call (08) 6187 3999 or text 0406 882 648 and we’ll give you a real ETA. We don’t offer septic or ATU installation or servicing.

Honest coverage from Ellenbrook

Bullsbrook and Upper Swan sit north along Great Northern Highway and the Swan Valley edge. From Ellenbrook it’s one of our closer rural runs, but it still isn’t around the corner — especially Brigadoon and the Walyunga side, where roads wind and driveways are long. For emergencies we tell you the ETA before you clear your afternoon. For planned hot water or renovation plumbing we book a proper slot and confirm access (gates, dogs, unsealed driveways).

What we see on Bullsbrook and Upper Swan properties

Housing here is a mix of township blocks, acreage and lifestyle lots. The plumbing issues follow that pattern:

Long poly or copper supply lines from the meter or tank to the house and shed — leaks often show up as a soggy strip in the paddock or a meter that won’t sit still.
Bore water used for gardens and wash-down alongside scheme water for the house. We work on the potable plumbing and licensed gas; bore pumps and irrigation gear are usually a specialist unless the fault is on the house water side.
Outdoor hot water units and LPG setups on properties away from the natural gas main — bottle changeover, regulators and gas leaks need a licensed gas fitter.
Brigadoon’s hills streets: steeper access, larger homes, and the odd pump-assisted supply. Tell us about stairs, narrow driveways or rain when you book.
Upper Swan and Walyunga: Valley-edge lots with sheds, studios and secondary living spaces that share or split the water supply.

What we don’t claim on rural lots

Some Bullsbrook and Upper Swan properties are on septic tanks or aerobic treatment units. McDermott Plumbing does not install, pump or service septic or ATU systems. If your blockage or odour is on a septic system, you’ll need a septic contractor. On scheme-sewered properties we clear and repair the property drains as usual, and Water Corporation still owns the main.
