Ashgrove plumbers for the jobs old Queenslanders throw up

Ashgrove's hills and old Queenslanders are a big part of its charm. They do keep you on your toes, though. A sloping block means stormwater has to go somewhere when a summer storm rolls through, and a lot of those old sewer lines have big trees for neighbours. If you've noticed a gurgle, a puddle or a drain that's lost its enthusiasm, we're happy to come and take a look.

You'll know when your plumber is arriving, and they'll explain what's wrong and what it costs before any work starts. No hourly rates, no surprises, and your home left as clean as we found it.

Tram-era homes on sloping blocks

In Ashgrove, a lot of the pipes have been in the ground a long time. Ageing sewer joints are where tree roots get in, and on a sloping block a blocked or undersized stormwater drain shows itself quickly in a downpour. If you're raising, extending or building in underneath, let us run a camera inspection on the old lines first; it can save digging up a new slab later.

Most of Ashgrove is houses (77.3% at the 2021 Census), and plenty of them are old. Council's heritage records describe Grove Lodge on Ashgrove Avenue, built around 1895 for a dairy farmer, and say the tramline that reached Oleander Drive in 1924 fuelled rapid growth; the tram shelter on Stewart Road is still there.

We'll give you a fixed price for the fix you choose, and explain the options in plain terms so you can decide.

Water supply in Ashgrove

Ashgrove is supplied by Urban Utilities. The water is hard to moderately hard, so scale builds up inside hot water systems over the years. Pressure can differ between the ridges and the valleys, and our guide on low water pressure explains the usual causes. Everything on your side of the water meter is yours to fix; a leak in the street or footpath goes to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64 (24/7).

Ashgrove plumbing questions

Why does water pool against our Ashgrove house when it storms? +

On a sloping block, stormwater runs downhill fast. If the drains or pits are blocked, or were never big enough, the water backs up against the house. We'll clear it, find out why it backed up, and tell you whether it needs more than a clean-out.

How do tree roots get into sewer pipes? +

Roots go looking for water, and ageing sewer joints and small cracks give them a way in. Once inside they grow and catch everything that goes down the drain. Here are the signs of tree roots in pipes.

Why is the water pressure low on our Ashgrove block? +

It can be the pipes in your home, a valve that's partly closed, or the supply in your street, and on a hilly suburb like Ashgrove pressure can differ from house to house. Our guide on why water pressure drops covers the usual causes, and we can check what's on your side of the meter.

We're raising our Ashgrove Queenslander. What plumbing should we plan for? +

Have the old sewer and stormwater lines checked with a camera before the slab goes in, and get the new bathroom or laundry drainage priced early. It's far easier to fix an old line before there's concrete on top of it.
