Tap Repairs
Dripping taps, leaking mixers and outdoor taps that weep at the spindle. Older tap bodies along Mungarie Street often need reseating rather than a washer, and we handle both.

Two Housing Generations, Two Kinds of Fault
When the Housing Commission developed this suburb from 1951, its fibro and weatherboard cottages went up first, with brick-veneer homes later filling the gaps around them across the following decades. That mix decides what a plumbing visit here looks like.
The older generation
Cottages from the 1940s to the 1960s have usually had fixtures swapped piecemeal over the years, so one bathroom can hold three eras of pipework behind one wall.
The newer generation
Detached housing at the edges, on the old drive-in and quarry sites, is young enough that faults tend to sit in fittings rather than pipes.
What it means for you
Telling us the age of the house when you ring helps the right parts come on the first visit.
The Six General Plumbing Services
Each service below comes with local detail for this suburb and a process that runs from call to payment.
Toilet Repairs
Running cisterns, sticky buttons, pans that leak at the base and loos that will not flush. We replace inlet and flush valves or whole suites suited to older plumbing.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, baths, vanities and full renovations, including the pipework behind the walls. Renovating a cottage near the Samford Road shops often means working around original pipe runs, planned for first.
Kitchen Plumbing
Blocked or leaking sinks, mixer swaps, dishwasher hookups and floor wastes that overflow. A slow sink in an older kitchen is usually the branch line, not the trap, and we trace it fully.
Leak Detection
Damp patches, underground escapes and bills that climb with no visible cause. We work out where the water is getting out before anyone opens a wall or starts digging.
Gas Fitting
Cooktop and oven connections, bayonet points for heaters, appliance repairs and compliance work under our gasfitting licence. A gas smell is always a call-now job, made from outside the house.

Maintain, Repair or Replace
Most plumbing calls are one of three decisions, and knowing which you are facing makes the quote easier to read.
Maintain
is the light end of the ledger: washers, seals, flush valves, cleaning out aerators and checking pressure-limiting gear before it fails. A yearly check of taps and cisterns catches most of it.
Repair
fixes what has broken while the fixture or pipe is still sound: reseating a tap body, replacing a cistern inlet valve, joining over a small section of damaged pipe. Repairs hold when the rest of the fitting has life left in it.
Replace
is for things at end of life: a cistern cracked beyond seals, a mixer corroded through, a pipe run too far gone to patch. Replacement runs longer and needs more parts, so the quote sits higher, and we say plainly when it is the better spend.
If the fault turns out to be drainage rather than fixtures, the drainage page carries the blocked-drain and inspection work, and hot water systems have their own pages under hot water.
Ground That Moves Water Fast
The second thing worth knowing about plumbing here is the country underneath it. Parts of the suburb sit on shallow, stony granite country, and that changes how water behaves around a house.
Fast runoff
Rocky ground sheds roof and yard water onto the blocks below it, so a failed gutter or a blocked subsoil line shows up as a soggy lawn at the house downhill.
Old buried systems
Streets laid out ahead of the city's 1960s sewerage push can still hide septic tanks and trenches under lawns, and they tend to turn up when owners build extensions or pools.
Roots at the edges
The golf links along Kedron Brook and the bushland at the southern fringe put vigorous tree roots within reach of house drains, which matters for the drainage pages as much as the fixtures.

Questions About General Plumbing
Call (07) 3067 4274Who looks after the pipes on my side of the connection?
Urban Utilities maintains the street mains and everything public up to the connection in Keperra, and each pipe on your property side of that point belongs to you and is ours to fix.
Why do tap and toilet jobs cost more in older Keperra homes?
Cottages built in the 1950s and 1960s often carry original galvanised pipe or worn fixtures that need replacing while we are there, which adds parts and time to a simple repair.
Could my Keperra yard still hide an old septic system?
Quite possibly, because houses that went up before sewers reached the street can still have tanks and trenches under the lawn, and they usually turn up when an extension, pool or retaining wall goes in.
Does the granite soil here affect my plumbing?
Rocky ground here sheds water onto lower blocks, so a blocked subsoil line often surfaces as a soggy lawn downhill from the fault rather than at your own tap.
Can one plumber handle both my water and gas work?
Yes, our licence covers plumbing and drainage as well as gasfitting, so the same visit can sort a leaking shower and a cooktop connection without a second booking.
How do I arrange general plumbing work in Keperra?
Ring (07) 3067 4274, tell the team what needs doing, and we will set a time, bring the parts these houses usually need, and give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
