At the last census, 96.4 per cent of homes were flats, so a leaking braided hose on a high floor drips through slab joints into the unit below, and a choked grease main behind a Brunswick Street venue closes a kitchen.

A Marsh That Became a Suburb
The Valley grew on a low, marshy flat that turned into Brisbane's second commercial centre. The hotel and shopfront blocks on Brunswick and Wickham streets predate the city sewer, so they were hooked up later with earthenware house drains, and those cement joints have been shifting on the soft ground ever since.
Two more factors drive the work here:
Shallow groundwater
Being a former marsh, the flat keeps the water table close to the surface, so basement car parks, lift pits and trench backfill stay damp and sump pumps in newer towers work hard through wet spells.
Ageing heaters
The towers that followed the 1990s renewal campaign have now had a full generation of service, and the units first installed in cupboards and shared plant rooms are reaching replacement age.
Compact tower bathrooms squeeze fittings into tight service zones, where bargain braided hoses and press-fit couplings can weep into the apartment below before anyone spots them.
Drains, Grease and Stormwater
Chinatown, Brunswick Street and James Street run a dense restaurant and bar trade licensed into the early hours, so fat keeps entering the common lines long after most kitchens have closed.
When a main chokes on a Friday or Saturday night, the kitchen and the bar toilets shut with it, and that cannot wait for Monday. The stormwater story is older still: an arterial system built between 1879 and 1886 ran largely as open drains, capped over in the late 1890s, so buried channels still sit under the flat.
Council maps creek and overland flow planning areas along Wickham, Ann and James streets, where water coming down from the surrounding rise pools at the old pits.

Fortitude Valley Questions
Call (07) 3067 4276Who owns the drain from my Brunswick Street shop to the sewer main?
Urban Utilities owns the street main, while the earthenware line running from your boundary out to that main is the owner's responsibility to keep clear and to fix when it cracks.
Why does the hot water in my Valley apartment keep failing?
The first towers of the 1990s renewal have had decades of service, and with 96.4 per cent of homes being units at the last census, most original heaters are at the end of their life.
Do the old covered drains under the suburb still cause trouble?
Sometimes, because the channels laid as open drains between 1879 and 1886 were capped in the late 1890s, and silt still settles in those buried lines under the flat.
Can storm water get into my ground-floor tenancy?
It can, because runoff from the higher ground drains toward James, Ann and Wickham streets, which fall inside council's overland flow and creek planning areas, so the old pits there back up first.
Is grease behind our shared kitchen line blocking again?
Probably, because venues around Chinatown Mall and James Street trade into the early hours, and fat keeps making its way into the shared lines well after other kitchens have closed.
