Old Drains Under New Towers
The Valley's plumbing problems come in two eras, and both keep us busy.
Heritage drains
The old hotel and shopfront blocks on Brunswick and Wickham streets went up before the city sewer reached them, so they were hooked up afterward with earthenware drains. Those cement joints have drifted in the soft ground all this time, trapping paper, grease and silt wherever a joint has dropped.
The first trunk sewer
Work on Brisbane's first trunk sewer started in 1916, and the line passed through the suburb on its way to Luggage Point. Some of the oldest sewer connections in the city sit under these streets as a result.
Retrofitted tanks
In the heritage buildings converted along Brunswick and Wickham streets, hot water tanks sit in spots nobody ever designed for plumbing access. Swapping one takes someone who has done it before.
When It Can't Wait
Something leaking, flooding or smelling of gas? First steps:
- Water flowing out of control: close the main valve at the meter and call (07) 3522 5623 straight away.
- A gas smell: leave the house and make the call from outside. Don't touch light switches or use a flame.
- A slow drip or a drain that's slow to clear: it's usually fine to book in. Call (07) 3522 5623 and we'll find a time.
- Night, weekend or public holiday: we're available 24/7, and there's no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Where to Start
Not sure which page you need? These four cards cover the ground.
Emergencies
Water pouring through a slab joint, a gas smell in a stairwell, a bar with no hot water before opening. Start with emergency plumbing and we'll triage over the phone.
General plumbing
A dripping mixer, a toilet that runs all night, a kitchen sink draining slowly, a new gas cooktop. General plumbing covers the everyday jobs in units and shopfronts alike.
Drainage
A choked shared line under a restaurant row, or stormwater backing up in a basement car park. Drainage is where grease, tree roots and old earthenware meet.
Hot water
A heater that's tripping, leaking, or simply done. Hot water walks you through repair versus replacement in plain words.
Storms on the Low Flat
The Valley's geography shapes its plumbing as much as its buildings do.
Shallow groundwater
The suburb developed on a swampy flat, and the water table remains near the surface. That keeps basement car parks, lift pits and the trenches feeding the newer towers damp, so their sump pumps and subsoil drains work hard through wet spells.
Storm run-off
Council's flood overlays flag creek and overland flow paths covering Wickham, Ann and James streets. When the storm season peaks between November and March, water sheeting off the higher ground around the flat piles into the old pits.
Night-trade pressure
Chinatown, Brunswick Street and James Street are packed with restaurants and bars, many licensed until the early hours. Kitchen grease keeps flowing into the shared lines long after ordinary trading hours, which is why Friday and Saturday nights are our busy time.
Pricing Without Surprises
Plumbing Fortitude Valley quotes flat-rate pricing, which means the price is set for the job, not the hour. You see the full figure in writing before anyone picks up a tool, and nothing gets added afterward.
What changes a price is the work itself:
Access
A heater wedged into a retrofit cupboard on Wickham Street takes longer to reach than one in an open plant room.
Parts
What the failed component costs, passed through at the quoted figure.
The building
Isolating water in a tower with shared risers is a different job to a shopfront with its own meter.
If anything changes mid-job, we stop and re-quote before we touch another fitting.

We fix it with the building in mind
In tower work we isolate at the riser and check the unit below before we call the job done. That way one burst hose doesn't become three flooded apartments.
