Call 0450 963 633 to discuss your job.
Plumbing for Indooroopilly’s post-war homes and apartments
A restored post-war house or Queenslander may still have a mix of original and newer pipework under the floor, while an apartment depends on shared risers and drainage managed by the body corporate. Common jobs include:
- leaking taps, toilets and concealed pipes
- blocked drains and private sewer lines
- hot water system repairs and replacements
- replacing old pipework during renovations
- tapware, sinks and fixtures
Renovation plumbing in character houses
Brisbane City Council rules discourage the demolition of pre-war character houses, so many Indooroopilly owners renovate instead of rebuilding. That usually means relocating or upgrading bathroom, kitchen and laundry plumbing inside an older structure. We plan pipe runs and drainage falls to suit timber floors and existing walls, and coordinate with your builder or other trades so the plumbing is ready at the right stage of the renovation.
Retail and office plumbing near the shopping precinct
Indooroopilly has significant commercial, office and retail sectors around the shopping centre and along Moggill Road, the suburb’s main thoroughfare. For shops, offices and other tenancies we can handle amenities, kitchenettes, hot water and drainage work. Talk to your landlord or centre management about access and approvals before work starts.
Where your responsibility ends: Urban Utilities
Urban Utilities supplies water and sewerage in Brisbane. Owners are responsible for water pipes and fittings from the home up to the water meter, and for private sewer drainage up to the sewer connection point. Urban Utilities owns the meter and the sewer property connection and takes fault reports on 13 23 64. If you are planning drainage work, Brisbane City Council’s Flood Awareness Map and FloodWise Property Report show river, creek, storm-tide and overland-flow information for your address.
