Plumber Norman Park

You probably know the story: older highset houses that have been built in underneath over the years, with new bathrooms and laundries joined to old pipes. Those old sewer joints are where tree roots get in, which is usually behind a slow drain or a gurgling toilet. We'll find the cause, use a camera inspection if it's needed, and give you the options with a price for each, whether that's clearing the line, a repair or pipe relining.

Most Norman Park streets are lined with houses (68.9% of homes at the 2021 Census), many of them timber homes from the years the suburb grew up around its railway station, built in 1911, and the ferry terminal on Wynnum Road.

Planning a renovation? Ask us to look at the plumbing before you lock in your plans. It's a lot cheaper to know what's under the floor now than halfway through the job.

Norman Park is supplied by Urban Utilities. South East Queensland water is classed as hard to moderately hard, and Urban Utilities notes it can cause scaling inside hot water systems and kettles, so an older system that rumbles or runs short may be worth a look.

As a house owner you are responsible for the pipes on your side of the water meter and sewer connection point; Urban Utilities owns the meter and the pipes beyond it. In a unit block, that connection point can be on common property, so ask your body corporate first. Urban Utilities says the meter at a house is usually in a small box at the front near the footpath, with an isolation valve that needs only a quarter turn. Keep it clear and turn it now and then so it doesn't seize. Leaks in the street go to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64 (24/7).

About 35% of Norman Park homes are rented. We can't take bookings from tenants, so if you rent, please contact your property manager or landlord first.
