Plumber Aspley

In a family home, the usual jobs are ageing sewer and stormwater lines with tree roots in them, and hot water systems reaching the end of their life. We'll tell you honestly whether yours needs a repair or a replacement.

In a townhouse, a fault inside your own home is generally yours, while shared pipes on common property are usually the body corporate's, so check with your building manager before booking. Our guide on who is responsible for blocked drains explains the usual split.

Aspley has almost no apartments, but nearly a quarter of homes are townhouses (23.8% at the 2021 Census), about double the Queensland share. It grew from farms: Council's heritage records describe the J.W. Robinson farmhouse on Robinson Road West, from around 1892, as one of the oldest homes in the suburb.

Aspley is supplied by Urban Utilities. The water is hard to moderately hard, so scale builds up inside hot water systems over the years. In townhouse complexes the meter is often in a shared cabinet or near each home, so find yours before you need it. 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).
