Plumber Cannon Hill

Many Cannon Hill homes, from 1910 timber to post-war brick, are now well over 70 years old, and so is much of the pipework underneath unless it has been replaced. Ageing sewer and stormwater joints are where tree roots find a way in, and a slow drain or gurgling toilet is often the first sign. We'll find the cause and give you your options with a fixed price for each.

In a unit or townhouse, check whose pipe it is first: a fault inside your home is generally yours, shared pipes on common property usually the body corporate's. Our guide on who is responsible for blocked drains explains the usual split.

Cannon Hill homes cover more than a century, from timber houses near the 1910 railway station to post-war brick homes like the Housing Commission duplexes on Moncrief Road and newer units (20.6% of homes at the 2021 Census).

Cannon Hill is supplied by Urban Utilities. South East Queensland water is classed as hard to moderately hard, which Urban Utilities notes can cause scaling inside hot water systems and kettles.

The owner is responsible for the pipes on their side of the water meter and sewer connection point, and Urban Utilities for the meter and the pipes beyond. Report a leak in the street or footpath to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64 (24/7). For a leak you suspect on your own side, turn off every tap and read the meter, then read it again an hour or so later; if it has moved, our leak detection team can find where.

If your water pressure suddenly drops, check Urban Utilities' service interruptions and ask a neighbour first; if they are fine, see our guide to low water pressure.

About 38% of Cannon Hill homes are rented. We can't take bookings from tenants, so if you rent, please contact your property manager or landlord first.
