The Work We Do Here
One team covers every plumbing call on the peninsula:
- Emergency Plumbing for burst pipes, overflows, no hot water and gas smells
- General Plumbing covering taps, toilets, kitchens, bathrooms, gas fitting and leak detection
- Drainage for blocked drains, sewers, stormwater lines and CCTV inspections
- Hot Water for full system replacements and repairs
Old Cottages and New Towers
The peninsula is two housing stocks wearing one postcode, and both send us work.
The pre-1940 stock
The tram reached the peninsula in 1885, and the farms and orchards were soon cut up into housing blocks, which is why timber Queenslanders and cottages, some of them heritage-listed, still line Gray Road, Bank Street and Sussex Street. Any cottage that missed a full re-plumb draws water through old galvanised branches under the floor, where scale builds at every elbow and narrows the bore.
The tower side
At the last census 75.7 per cent of homes here were flats or apartments, and the new towers along Montague Road and Boundary Street tuck long flexi-hose runs and small isolation valves behind joinery, so a failure upstairs finds the units below.
Hot water in shared buildings
Most hot water faults here land in shared buildings, where a small tank in a tight cupboard turns one owner's leak into a neighbour's ceiling stain, and any swap becomes body corporate business.
Stormwater and the River Flats
The low half of the peninsula works against water from two directions.
Runoff off the ridge
The slopes around Dornoch Terrace once shed their stormwater along a creek that spilled across the flats whenever rain fell hard, and that water still follows the same line today. Yard grates on the low ground spill over whenever the river is high or the pipes downstream run full.
Flood lines
Council's flood maps place Ferry Road, Riverside Drive and the low blocks around Bailey, Orleigh, Kurilpa, Duncan and Musgrave streets within the 1974, 2011 and 2022 flood lines, and the January 2011 floods destroyed the ferry terminal. Low fixtures need isolating early in a river warning.
Shallow groundwater
The riverside half of the peninsula rests on floodplain alluvium and estuarine mud, so a trench near the water strikes groundwater before it goes very deep, and sump pumps in basement car parks rarely get a rest.
Grease
The Boundary Street cafe and restaurant scene, plus the Saturday crowds at Davies Park, tip a heavy fat load into sewer branches that homes share, so grease sets in lines that never saw a commercial kitchen.

Questions From the Peninsula
Call (07) 3520 4094Who fixes a burst flexi hose in a West End apartment?
Close the isolation tap behind the joinery if you can reach it, then quickly ring (07) 3520 4094, because one burst flexi hose on an upper floor always reaches the units beneath it.
Does Urban Utilities clear a blocked sewer here?
Urban Utilities owns the public network, so we handle the private branch from your building to the connection point and tell you straight when a blockage sits in their main instead.
Why do the low streets flood after storms here?
Stormwater off the Dornoch Terrace slopes still follows the old creek line down to the flats, so yard grates spill over whenever the pipes below cannot take any more water in a storm.
Can grease from the Boundary Street cafes block my home drain?
It can, because fat from the cafe and restaurant strip washes into the same sewer branches homes rely on, so we clear your line and advise on traps where the connection allows.
Is a hot water tank in a tower a strata job?
Most homes here are units, so one failed tank in a shared riser turns into body corporate work; we isolate the riser, swap the tank and write the quote for the committee.
