What We Cover
This is a suburb of mostly detached houses on jacaranda-lined streets, and that housing stock shapes most of the work we do here. Pick the job below and you'll land on the right page.

Repairs and replacements for the big family tanks:
A Suburb Built Around the Races
Hendra grew up beside the Eagle Farm Racecourse on its southern boundary, where trainers and stablehands settled close to their stables. That history left a mark on every pipe in the ground, and it explains most of the calls we take.
Old galvanised supply pipes
The racing-era houses here were plumbed with galvanised pipe originally, and that pipe corrodes at its joints, starving the furthest bathroom of pressure. You still find lengths of it under floors and inside walls on the older blocks.
One wave of earthenware drains
The suburb was mostly built out soon after the war, and Urban Utilities' sewer mains through the area are largely earthenware, salt-glazed ware and vitrified clay. When we put a camera down a house drain here, we keep finding the same things: cracked sockets, joints sitting out of line, and lengths packed with roots.
Big family homes
At the last census, 80.1 per cent of homes here were separate houses and half had four bedrooms or more. Roomy places with several bathrooms tend to run one big tank, and an ageing tank that has furred up inside holds less and less, with the leak usually showing itself at the base.
Something Going Wrong Right Now
Got a plumbing problem right now? Do this before you call:
- Water you can't turn off: turn the supply off at the water meter, then call (07) 3067 4276.
- You can smell gas: get out of the property and phone from outside. Avoid switches, sparks and naked flames.
- A minor drip or a slow drain: it can wait for a booked appointment. Call (07) 3067 4276 and we'll book you in.
- Out of hours: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no extra cost for nights, weekends or public holidays.
When Each Team Is the Right Call
Emergency plumbing
covers the jobs that can't wait for a booked visit: water pouring through a ceiling, a toilet overflowing past the pan, a tank that's given up overnight. The flood history around Kedron Brook keeps this page busy.
General plumbing
is the everyday run: dripping taps, running cisterns, bathroom and kitchen work, and gas fitting for cooktops and heaters. If it's annoying rather than urgent, it lives here.
Drainage
covers everything that should flow away: blocked sewers, stormwater pits drowning in storm season, and camera inspections that show exactly where an old earthenware joint has let go.
Hot water
covers the big tanks these family homes run, from a repair that buys a few more years to a full replacement when the base starts to weep.
Storms, Creeks and Old Street Trees
This pocket sits outside the Council's mapped 1974 river flood line, and the January 2011 flood left it almost unscathed. Its real exposure is Kedron Brook, which crosses the north and centre of the suburb before it reaches the Schulz Canal.
The 2022 flood
Widdop, Woodville, McIntyre and Brook streets all sit inside both the February 2022 flood line and the creek awareness mapping. The Queensland Reconstruction Authority's audits after those floods found some of the city's worst house damage here, and call-outs on those streets tend to track the creek.
Storm season load
With an average of 1039mm of rain a year and storms that roll in from late spring into autumn, run-off can reach a yard gully faster than an old house drain can swallow it.
Tree roots
The jacarandas and royal poincianas along the streets are old enough now for their roots to hunt water into old earthenware joints, and root cutting alone rarely holds. The failed joint still needs fixing.
What Changes a Price
We can't give figures on this page, and we wouldn't want to guess at yours. What we can tell you is how a quote is built.
Access
Getting to pipes under a raised house is quicker work than cutting into a slab.
What we find
Clearing roots from an old joint costs less than replacing the cracked length around it.
Parts and scope
A tap reseal and a full cistern replacement are different jobs, and the quote shows which one you're getting.
