What New Farm Asks of Its Pipes
The sewer reached this peninsula by the mid-1930s, so the drains serving the older houses and flats are close to a century old. Those earthenware lines were jointed with cement, and the very large trees shading the streets south of Brunswick Street have been prising those joints open ever since.
One blocked lateral in a walk-up block can show up on every floor at once, because plenty of those buildings share a single drain line.
The river keeps its own score. Council's maps put Welsby Street, Alford Street, parts of Sydney Street and Lamington Street, plus Brunswick Street where it meets the water, under all three modern river floods: 1974, 2011 and 2022. The ridge along Moray Street and Bowen Terrace sat above all three.
At the last census, 74.5 per cent of local dwellings were flats or apartments across 5,710 homes, mostly rented and averaging 1.9 people each. That mix drives the jobs we see:
Blocked drains and sewers
earthenware offsets, verge-tree roots and grease from the Brunswick Street and Merthyr Village shop rows.
Hot water
one heater per unit in the older walk-ups, swapped one at a time as they fail.
Stormwater
ridge streets shedding paved run-off toward the river-edge blocks, with storms arriving mostly between November and March.
Emergencies
burst flexi hoses in upper flats and gully traps running over at ground-floor homes near the river.
The Work We Cover
Every service we run is one of four principal kinds of work:
- Emergency plumbing: a burst pipe, a loo running over, showers gone cold and gas smells.
- General plumbing: dripping taps, running cisterns, bathroom work, kitchen sinks and dishwashers, hidden leaks and gasfitting.
- Drainage: drain clearing, sewer blockages, stormwater problems and camera drain checks.
- Hot water: heater repairs and full replacements.

Questions From New Farm
Call (07) 3067 4276Who owns the sewer pipe between my New Farm flat and the street?
Urban Utilities maintains the public sewer in the road, while the branch running from your boundary to that main is yours or your body corporate's, so we sort out which side first.
Why does the drain from my walk-up flat keep blocking?
The earthenware lines laid when the sewer arrived by the mid-1930s have cement joints the big street trees have prised open, so roots and paper snag at the same offset every time.
Did all three big floods reach my street?
Council mapping shows Welsby, Alford and Lamington streets and low parts of Sydney Street under water in 1974, 2011 and 2022, while the Bowen Terrace and Moray Street ridge stayed dry each time.
Can a failed heater in one flat affect the units below?
Yes, because the older walk-ups carry a separate storage heater for each unit, often tucked on a back balcony or inside a laundry cupboard, and a tank weeping there drips through the ceiling of the flat underneath.
What makes hot water replacements different around New Farm?
Heater ages differ from one building to the next, with inter-war walk-ups, converted Queenslanders and river towers each set up their own way, so we quote the swap around your building's access rather than a one-size plan.

Call (07) 3067 4276 and tell us what is happening and which street you are on, and you get a fixed quote before any work starts, with same-day where we can around New Farm.
