Plumber in Kenmore, Brisbane

Kenmore sits on the Brisbane River about 13.6 km south-west of the CBD, hemmed in by Moggill Creek, Cubberla Creek and the Centenary Highway. It is a suburb of larger detached homes on bigger, often sloping blocks, with its shops gathered around the Moggill Road and Brookfield Road roundabout at Kenmore Village and Kenmore Plaza. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, along Moggill Road towards the city, and provides licensed plumbing and drainage for Kenmore households and shops. Call 0450 963 633.

Big blocks, long drainage runs

On a large Kenmore lot, the house can sit a long way from the sewer connection point and well above or below the street. That means long private sewer lines, more joints for roots to find, and stormwater that has to travel a fair distance to a legal point of discharge. When a downpipe overflows or a yard stays boggy after a storm, the cause is often a collapsed or silted line somewhere along that run rather than at the house.

Plumbing services in Kenmore:

• blocked sewer and stormwater drains, including root intrusion
• new or replacement stormwater lines, pits and downpipe connections
• leaking water service pipes between the meter and the house
• hot water system replacement
• taps, toilets and fixtures, inside and in outdoor areas
• renovation plumbing for kitchens, ensuites and laundries

Creeks, river and the 2010-11 floods

Parts of Kenmore were affected by the 2010-11 Queensland floods, and Moggill Creek runs right through the suburb. Before you add a downstairs bathroom, move a laundry under the house or change the drainage layout, look up the address on Brisbane City Council’s Flood Awareness Map. The FloodWise Property Report gives river, creek, storm-tide and overland-flow information for the property, useful context for deciding fixture heights and where water should go.

Leaks on long water services

Kenmore homes set well back from the road often have a long water service pipe from the meter. A hidden leak on that pipe can show up as a jump in the water bill, a damp patch in the lawn, or a meter that keeps ticking when every tap is off. Urban Utilities supplies water and sewerage here; the pipe from the meter to the house is the owner’s responsibility, while the meter and the sewer property connection belong to Urban Utilities (faults 13 23 64).

Kenmore plumbing FAQ

How can I tell if I have a leak on my water service?

Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the meter for a few minutes. If it keeps moving, there is likely a leak between the meter and the fixtures, and a plumber can trace it.
