The Work We Take Around Here
Most jobs that come in from the peninsula fit one of four buckets, and each links to the full service list:
- Emergency plumbing for burst pipes, overflowing loos, cold showers and gas leaks, any hour of the night.
- General plumbing for dripping taps, running cisterns, bathroom and kitchen fit-outs, hidden leaks and licensed gas work.
- Drainage for blocked drains, sewer and stormwater clearances, plus camera inspections of tired lines.
- Hot water for tank repairs and complete replacement systems.
Why the Pipes Here Run Old
Redcliffe was surveyed into small coastal blocks back in the 1880s, but most of the housing arrived later, once the Hornibrook Highway put the peninsula within an easy drive of Brisbane in 1935. That timeline shaped everything our plumbers find under the floor.
Galvanised supply lines
Town water did not reach Redcliffe taps until December 1941, and the cottages connected soon after were fitted with galvanised iron supply pipes. Any section still original now rusts from within and strangles the flow to showers and basins.
Salt on the seaward streets
Brass tapware, pressure valves and outdoor pipe runs a short walk from the water corrode and stiffen years before their equivalents a few streets back.
Old clay drains
House drains laid through the thirties, forties and fifties are earthenware, a material that cracks around its joints and lets roots in.
Creek-corridor runoff
The council's flood mapping tracks Humpybong Creek through the town centre, so the pits and culverts on that corridor do heavy duty whenever a summer storm rolls through.

Redcliffe Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4119Do many Redcliffe cottages still have galvanised water pipes?
Plenty do, because town water only reached the suburb in 1941 and the wave of connections that followed used galvanised iron, a pipe that rusts internally and slowly chokes the flow.
Who owns the water pipes at my Redcliffe place?
Unitywater maintains the street mains and the public sewer, while everything from your meter connection inward is the owner's responsibility, so repairs on that side are yours to arrange.
Why do taps near the foreshore fail sooner?
Because sea air off Moreton Bay eats brass and galvanised fittings well ahead of their rated life on the seaward side, we fit coastal-rated parts whenever we replace them there.
Can a storm stop my stormwater from draining?
It can, because a heavy downpour fills Humpybong Creek, and the town-centre pits and culverts along its mapped corridor are the first to back up when that happens.
Can you replace a hot water tank in an older Redcliffe flat?
We do, and a tank tucked in a laundry cupboard or on a balcony gets checked for salt corrosion, because a burst upstairs can soak the unit below before anyone catches it.
