Plumber The Gap

Ageing sewer joints near established trees are where tree roots usually get in, causing a slow drain or a gurgling toilet. On a sloping block, a blocked or undersized stormwater drain shows up quickly in a downpour. A camera inspection tells you which line is the problem before anything is dug up.

Almost every home in The Gap is a house on its own block (92.0% at the 2021 Census), so most plumbing here is about the pipes on your own land. The suburb grew along the road to Enoggera Reservoir; Council's heritage records describe Walton Bridge on Waterworks Road as a reminder of how important that road was a century ago.

When your hot water system starts to struggle, we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing or time to replace, and price both.

The Gap is supplied by Urban Utilities. The water is hard to moderately hard, so scale builds up inside hot water systems over the years. Hot water systems in family homes work hard, and checking the anode every few years helps a tank last. 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).
