Repair or Replace on Old Stock
The oldest homes near the station went up around 1910, and their water supply ran in galvanised iron because that was the pipe of the day. The postwar streets followed, mostly modest detached houses with an electric tank on a slab beside the laundry.
That mix keeps the repair-versus-replace question alive on almost every visit:
A narrowed galvanised length
inside a wall gets swapped, because the rust that chokes one join will choke the next.
A tank failing at the base
is finished, while a dead element or a dripping relief valve on the same unit is a parts job.
Rigid old drains
with shifted joints can usually be cleared rather than excavated, unless the pipe has lost its grade.
Our plumber walks you through that call on the spot, price first.

Ground That Shapes Every Job
Low, wet eastern flats
Peat and swamp sediment sit under the streets east of the rail line, holding water just beneath the surface. Any trench opened along Nudgee Road or Toombul Road tends to fill, so we plan digs there instead of gambling on them.
A mid-century sewer network
Urban Utilities' mains through the suburb are largely unreinforced concrete with plenty of asbestos cement mixed in, which dates the system to the middle of last century. House drains of that vintage are rigid pipe, and joints that have had sixty-odd years to creep will trap silt and tissue at the offsets.
Storm and tide layers
Council's creek and storm tide mapping spreads over the eastern and central streets, and the February 2022 flood outline took in low ground such as Station Avenue, Edgar Street and stretches of Nudgee Road. When a storm arrives on a high tide, the gullies on those streets spill before the creek even rises.
Why Choose Us
From a dripping mixer on Ridge Street to a surcharged gully near the reserve, the licence and the process stay the same.

Questions From Northgate
Call (07) 3067 4289Who owns the sewer pipes in Northgate?
Urban Utilities looks after the public sewer and water mains, while every pipe on the property side of that connection belongs to you, so blockages on your side of the boundary are yours to have cleared.
Can an old hot water tank near the station be fixed rather than swapped?
Usually, because on the postwar laundry slabs a worn element or a weeping relief valve is a simple parts swap, whereas a cylinder that has rusted through at its base calls for a new unit.
Do the oldest houses here still run galvanised supply pipe?
Some do, because the homes that went up near the station from about 1910 used galvanised iron for their water supply, and any original lengths still buried in the walls will have rusted narrower over decades.
Why do the eastern drains fill up whenever a storm passes through?
Mud and peat under those streets hold groundwater just below the surface, so when heavy rain lands on ground already saturated, the pits and gullies have nowhere to send it until the creek level drops.
Is the price fixed before work starts on a job here?
Yes, you see the full price in writing and approve it before anyone picks up a tool, and once approved that figure is what you pay, settled by card or EFTPOS on site afterwards.
