Who We Are

Three Generations of Territory Plumbing

Family owned and operated, Tap & Drain Dr NT is proud to be Darwin's trusted plumbing and gasfitting team, servicing the wider top end region. With three generations of our family dedicated to upholding a vision for quality workmanship, we have built a reputation for delivering professional plumbing and gas services on every project we undertake. Since opening in 2002, we have focused on honest, reliable service and long term solutions that support our customers.

Proprietor Richard McElwee is a third generation plumber and gasfitter who knows the Territory well. With more than 23 years in the industry, he has spent over 16 years developing a business grounded in integrity and strong community values. What began as a single plumber operation has grown into a skilled team of six full-time qualified plumbers and one apprentice, allowing us to handle everything from everyday repairs to complex installations.

Our office coordinates schedules during business hours, yet our commitment never switches off. We provide 24 hour support for clients who need urgent assistance, understanding how critical it is to resolve plumbing and gas emergencies quickly.

Our experienced team specialises in all areas of plumbing, hot water and gas services, delivering responsive solutions backed by decades of combined expertise.
