Plumbing Fortitude Valley works the Point every week, from tower apartments at the peninsula's tip to Victorian-era cottages in the southern streets. Emergency plumbing, general plumbing, drainage and hot water, all with $0 call-out fees. The full service list is on the Fortitude Valley home page.
What The Homes Are Like Here
At the last census, 87.0 per cent of homes here were flats or apartments, so most of our work is unit work. The stock splits three ways, and each era fails differently.
Towers on the old yards
The high-rise blocks at the northern tip stand on former dock and engineering land, and their first heaters, risers and shared plant have decades of service behind them. Replacement is the common call.
Walk-up flats
The older blocks along River Terrace and Scott Street hold a storage heater per flat, usually swapped more than once. A weeping cupboard tank drips straight onto the flat below.
Southern cottages
Victorian-era cottages and Queenslanders survive on Cairns, Toohey and Linton streets. Most were re-plumbed in stages, so old galvanised runs still sit among newer copper, and they scale up, lose pressure and rust at the joints.
What We Cover Here
- Emergency plumbing: burst pipes, toilets overflowing, gas leaks and hot water gone, handled 24/7 with no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. See emergency plumbing.
- General plumbing: everything from tap and toilet repairs to bathroom and kitchen jobs, concealed leaks and gas appliances. See general plumbing.
- Drainage: blocked drains, sewers and stormwater lines, plus CCTV drain inspections. See drainage.
- Hot water: repairs and full replacements, from a single cupboard tank to shared tower plant. See hot water.

Why The Drains Behave Differently
The ground drives most of the drainage calls we get here, in three ways.
The slope
Ellis Street ranks among the steepest streets in Brisbane, and the riverside edges drop away just as fast. Water sprints down the cliff-top streets and then crawls once it reaches the low ground near the river, so wipes and solids drop out where each private line joins the main at the foot of a slope. That is where blockages collect.
The age
Stormwater drains were built for this peninsula and South Brisbane back in 1885 and 1886. Those lines now take run-off from high-rise podiums and Main Street's six traffic lanes, a catchment far more paved than the one they were sized for, and heavy rain sends overflow into the low properties at the bottom of each slope.
The rock
Hard rhyolite sits close to the surface up on the cliffs, so old drains have little cover and digging runs slow. A collapsed line up there is usually repaired where it lies or taken along a new path rather than opened in its original trench.

Questions From The Point
Call (07) 3522 5623Who owns the pipes at my unit?
Urban Utilities maintains water mains and the public sewer in the street, while everything on the property side, including your unit's branch line and riser, is the owner's or body corporate's to repair.
Are the drains under the older cottages original?
Many were connected in earthenware with cement joints, and decades of ground movement plus heavy traffic on Main Street have shifted some of those old house drains out of line.
Do the flood maps affect plumbing on the low riverside streets?
Yes, council's flood maps show the low riverside fringe, including Holman, Goodwin, Macdonald and Annie streets, going under in the 1974, 2011 and 2022 river floods, so ground-floor fixtures there are worth protecting against backflow.
Can a heater be swapped inside a walk-up block?
Yes, heaters travel up the stairs with the site manager's approval, and we change one flat at a time so the rest of the block keeps its water while we work.
Do you clear stormwater lines on the steep streets?
Yes, we clear and repair pits, downpipes and subsoil lines, and the November to March storm season is when the old low-side drains need that attention most.
