Living in regional areas like the East Kimberley comes with its own unique challenges, especially when it comes to home maintenance. Small problems such as a dripping tap, loose gutter, or cracked fence post might seem minor at first, but in remote areas where access to trades can be limited, delays can turn them into costly and time-consuming repairs.
At IBAC Plumbing & Trade Services, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly minor issues escalate. A leaking pipe can cause significant structural damage if left unattended, especially during the wet season. Unstable fencing can present safety risks for children or pets, while unserviced irrigation systems lead to water waste and higher bills.
Timely intervention saves not just money, but stress. With over two decades of experience in Kununurra and across the East Kimberley, IBAC offers fast, efficient service across plumbing, fencing, and general trades.
