We had an ongoing drainage issue in the backyard of our house in the Newcastle NSW area recently addressed by Xpedite Plumbing and Gas Fitting and couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you so much Justin and everyone in your team for the outstanding work that you’ve done! I highly recommend going with Xpedite if you require any licensed plumbing or gas fitting work done on your house; you get what you pay for and this company is peerless - thank you!!!

Xpedite did a wonderful job installing a drainage system (ag lines, pit & pump). Great communication throughout the process and a professional, friendly, knowledgeable team who left the site very neat and tidy. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Xpedite plumbing. We have had issues with the piers cracking and shifting due to water getting under the house. Justin come up with a plan to fix the drainage and was very transparent explaining the steps involved. The team was very efficient and a pleasure to have.

I recently used this drainage company and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. Their professionalism was outstanding throughout the entire process. They were polite, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful in explaining everything clearly.I was extremely happy with the finished work and would recommend this company to anyone. Probably the best company I have ever had to deal with. Very, very happy!

We have used XPEDITE plumbing in the past and have always been extremely happy with their work. The work Justin and his men carried out on this occasion was also excellent.They arrived on time, explained clearly what works needed to be carried out and proceeded to do the work efficiently. They cleaned up the work site once the work was completed .I am absolutely certain the water issues that we had been experiencing is now rectified.Thanks again.

Excellent quality, a thorough job, and a great quote process which looked at the big picture, allowing us to get a more done at a very competitive price thanks to having the correct tools on hand.I was in need of a whole new storm water system with a french drain. After asking a few companies, Justin from Xpedite came over and discussed an effective plan with me. His plan also included running provisions for a future granny flat I mentioned, to prevent the drain from ever being disturbed (Great Foresight!).Their team was equipped with a digger narrow enough to pass along the side of the house and through the side gate.To fit the digger, Xpedite also organised ahead of time to relocate the Aircon and provide a temporary hot water system until the job was complete.Thanks to their team being the only one willing to make room for a digger, not only were we able to get granny flat provisions, but also a longer drain, all at the same price as the competition who would do less.Blake lead the team and gave me updates throughout the job, keeping me up to date and even reaching out to me to provide options of the type of gravel we would want on top. We also noticed small things that Blake's team did throughout like using some bricks we had nearby to create a neat border at the end of the gravel path, concreting in the gate post they removed because he wasn't satisfied with the strength it was held up with, and swapping out the sump grate for inspection pipes to keep our yard safe and dog friendly.Great quality and attention to detail!Justin then reached out to walk through the job afterwards and make sure that all parties were satisfied.I recommend Xpedite and have already asked them to return to plumb in a dishwasher for our kitchen.

The work done by Bryce and his apprentice was excellent. Bryce was very efficient, knowledgeable and completed the work leaving the site clean and tidy. The work involved replacing original gas and water pipes that were 60-70 years old, as well as replacing a hot water service.The end results were very pleasing. Would highly recommend Xpedite.

I couldn’t be happier with the team at Expedite Plumbing! They completed all the new sewer and stormwater work and roughed in the plumbing for my entire brand new home, and the quality of their work was outstanding from start to finish.Huge thanks to Bryce, Justin, Curly, and Jayden — they were professional, reliable, and incredibly hardworking. The communication was clear, the job was done on time, and everything was completed to a very high standard.I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re building or renovating and need a top-notch plumbing team, these are your guys!

Xpedite Plumbing and Gasfitting quickly diagnosed the problem with my rainwater harvesting system ang got it working pending carrying out a full clean. Xpedite carried out a full clean and fitted a level gauge to the water collection tank. The system is now functioning correctly. I am very pleased with the service provided by Expedite.

Justin was great during the quote process, answering all our questions and working with us to get a good design for our backyard drainage (ag lines, box drains and a pump) to ensure it drains properly. During installation, the team was professional and did a great job including post installation clean up. The yard now drains and excess surface water drains away. Overall excellent.

Jay Riege

I cannot say enough about Xpedite and their team. The work is flawlessly neat. The team is courteous working around our dogs and schedule and leaving the worksite neat and as it was originally found. The attention to detail to minimise disruption and come up with creative solutions (thanks Blake) has been outstanding. Everything is delivered when promised and as promised! From the first phone call to the ladies in the office who couldn’t be more helpful to the onsite planning with Justin explaining the scope of works and how best to achieve it-it has been a great experience with professional tradesmen and a genuine business! You don’t get this everyday!Thanks to all for your tireless efforts; welcome back anytime!

I had water ingress in my sub-floor from a retaining wall. Xpedite designed and installed a subsoil and surface drainage solution. They came out on time, communicated well through and did a very neat and tidy job. It’s poured rain since and the drainage is working 10/10. Highly recommend!!!!

Greg Simms

Turned up on time. Job done over two days. Very courteous and good workers. Would have them back for other drainage jobs.Thanks Justin.

Alex Doyle

Have used Xpedite plumbing 3 times now for quite large home projects. Installation of water tanks and 2 different drainage projects. Each time they have planned with me so that I could do some of the digging needed and save myself some money and then they’ve come in and done a perfect job on the technical stuff. I found all the tradies that turned up to be polite, helpful and cheery.I have literally just given their phone number to my next door neighbour as she mentioned she is having trouble getting quotes for jobs!Well done to all staff at Xpedite plumbing

Belinda Stow

07:19 31 May 25

Justin was amazing. Squeezed us in to try and help us out as we are travelling. Told us we need a part that he didn't have but rang ahead to another place in Coffs Harbour and told them our issue and they got us in in a couple of days to hopefully fix asap.

Xpedite came to our rescue with a major leak. Professional, polite, clean and they kept us informed every step of the way with our unfolding situation. Blake, Bryce and Jayden were the ultimate tradie team. Thank you

Alex Doyle

Had these guys install two rainwater tanks under the house and streamline a bunch of other plumbing. They were friendly, prompt, explained what they were doing and why and then tidied up when they finished. I definitely recommend

We had a moderate leak under concrete at our house. The Expedite plumbing team arrived with the right specialist equipment, persistent experienced troubleshooting and a great attitude. I am very pleased with how the leak source was found and repaired. Highly recommend this mob

If you are looking for a plumber, I thoroughly recommend Expedite Plumbing and Gasfitting. Very happy with the work they did for me. I was concerned about my water tank and how leaves could get into the system from the guttering. I had no easy way to clean them out and thought they could become a problem in the future. I spoke about my concerns to Justin and he offered some solutions. I had a pit and first flush diverter installed to my water tank and I am now confident that I can keep the system clear of debris. The work they did was top notch and I could tell that they took pride in what they were doing and did not cut any corners. I was very happy too with the quotation as it provided a detailed description of the job and the scope of the work. The attention to detail was excellent. Also, I was very happy with the level of communication. They were very responsive to my messages and I knew exactly what was going on and when. If I ever need a plumber again, I know who I will be calling.

Michael Craig

I highly recommend Xpedite Plumbing. They are a professional plumbing company and do a great job. They replaced over 13m of terra cotta stormwater pipe with 100mm pvc and dug the trench the old fashioned way with spade and shovel instead of using an excavator. (No damage to existing lawn). From supplying the quote to carrying out the work they were a pleasure to deal with. The icing on the cake were the 2 friendly plumbers and their workmanship in doing a fantastic job. Thanks Justin and the team.

I had a hardwood bathroom vanity, a sink and a mixer tap fitted and the old vanity removed.I would give this company ten stars if I could. I have not had a better experience with tradespeople. The timeliness was exceptional, the quality of work and attention to detail was second to none and the workers were polite, invested and tenacious. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality professional work.

Expert Design, Supply & Install Of Commercial & Residential Rainwater Tank Systems

A properly installed rainwater system does more than collect water — it reduces stormwater load, feeds your house fixtures, and integrates cleanly with your existing plumbing.

We supply and install the right tank for your site or property, connect pumps and pressure systems, fit first flush diverters, and handle ongoing servicing, including vacuum cleaning and pump replacement.

Xpedite have installed many cost-saving rainwater tank systems across the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle areas, as can be seen here.

Choosing the Right Type of Rainwater Tank

Getting the right type of tank is crucial, as this will affect not only how it looks, but also the way it functions, as well as the cost.
Here's a guide to the many different types available.

Underground Tanks: More expensive to install due to the excavation work, but will last a lifetime and can hold very large quantities. Also ideal for properties with limited ground space, but access can be an issue if there is a problem. Generally, though, they will require no maintenance
Slimline Tanks: Essentially, they can be custom-built to any shape to be less unsightly and not take up too much ground space. Slimline tanks tend to be higher, but will come in many variations
Round Tanks: These are the most common type, and their design dates back a long time. They can take up quite a bit of space, but are strong and can be plastic or metal. Easiest to install and most cost-effective.
Bladder Tanks: Perfect for homes that have little to no spare ground space, they are usually installed below decking or verandahs, so are like a slimline tank but laid flat underneath an accessible surface. Designed to be strong due to their location

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a plumber to install a water tank?

In NSW, a licensed plumber is required by law wherever a tank is connected to the mains water supply, such as a tank-to-toilet system.

A plumber will be able to give you some great advice about water tanks, such as the best location and size. You will also be able to get an idea of how much the entire project will cost.

Do I need council approval to install a rainwater tank in NSW?

In NSW, you don’t usually need council approval to install a rainwater tank if it meets the criteria for "Exempt Development" under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes). However, if any approvals are needed, Xpedite will assist with this process

Can a rainwater tank be connected to my toilets, laundry, or household water supply?

Yes. Rainwater tanks can be connected to toilets, washing machines, garden taps, and irrigation systems. If the tank is connected to internal plumbing, Australian plumbing standards require installation by a licensed plumber like Xpedite, and so wen install the correct backflow prevention devices to protect the mains water supply from any contamination

What size rainwater tank do I need?

The ideal tank size depends on your roof catchment area, local rainfall, available space, and intended water usage. Smaller tanks may be suitable for garden irrigation, while larger tanks are often recommended for toilet flushing, laundry use, or whole-house water storage. A professional assessment from Xpedite can help determine the most cost-effective size for your property

Can I install a rainwater tank myself?

While it is possible to install some tanks yourself, professional installation is strongly recommended. Proper installation requires a suitable base, compliant plumbing connections, overflow management, and adherence to Australian Standards. DIY installations can lead to drainage issues, structural problems, or warranty complications, so call Xpedite, your local experts, instead

How much maintenance does a rainwater tank require?

Rainwater tanks are relatively low-maintenance but should be inspected at least every six months. Xpedite recommends regular maintenance, which includes cleaning gutters, checking leaf screens and filters, inspecting overflow outlets, ensuring mosquito-proof screens remain intact, and checking pumps and pipework for leaks. Proper maintenance helps maintain water quality and prolong system life

How much does a rainwater tank installation cost in Australia?

The cost varies depending on the tank size, material, site access, plumbing requirements, pump installation, and whether the tank is connected to household fixtures. Most homeowners find that obtaining a site-specific quote provides the most accurate indication of installation costs, but for a useful guide, please see the above section regarding installation costs
