What Kangaroo Point Is Built From
At the last census, 87.0 per cent of the suburb's 4,683 dwellings were flats or apartments, and that mix shapes most of the work we take here.
Towers on old industrial land
The high-rises near the northern tip stand on former dock and engineering yards, and decades of service have brought their original heaters, risers and shared plant to replacement age.
Cottages with mixed pipes
Stage-by-stage re-plumbing over the decades means the pre-war homes along Cairns, Linton and Toohey streets can still hide rusted galvanised runs among newer copper, dropping pressure and clogging with scale.
Drains older than most of Brisbane's
The stormwater system here went into the ground in 1885 and 1886, and it now serves ground far more paved than anything those lines were sized for.
What We Cover
Whatever the job, it routes through one of four services:
- Emergency plumbing: burst flexi hoses, pan-filling toilets, cold showers and gas smells, any time of day or night.
- General plumbing: tap and toilet repairs, bathroom and kitchen fit-outs, hidden leak tracing and licensed gas fitting.
- Drainage: blocked drains, blocked sewer and stormwater lines, plus camera inspections of what's moving underground.
- Hot water: a repair when the cylinder still has life in it, a full replacement when it doesn't.

Local Knowledge That Counts on the Job
Slope drains
Ellis Street is one of the steepest climbs in Brisbane, and the ground falls away hard toward the river, so drains race on the slopes and crawl on the flat below. Solids settle out where private lines meet the main, which is why blockages cluster at the foot of each hill.
Rock close to the surface
Hard rhyolite sits near the top of the ground, leaving old drains with little cover, so opening up a failed run on the cliff-top is slow work and a new route is often the smarter fix.
Grease from the strip
Fat and scraps from the Pineapple Hotel, the Story Bridge Hotel and the cafes along Main Street travel down shared lines toward the river, which keeps our blocked sewer and blocked stormwater pages busy for local owners.

Kangaroo Point Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4272Do you work in the high-rise towers near the Story Bridge?
Yes, we work with body corporates and building managers across Kangaroo Point, isolating the supply on the riser so one unit's burst hose or leaking heater never becomes a problem for the whole floor below it.
Why do the drains here block so often after storms?
The stormwater lines here were laid in 1885 and 1886 for a much greener catchment, so the summer downpours that race off the steep streets now overwhelm drains at the bottom of each slope.
Who owns the pipes if something fails in my flat?
Urban Utilities looks after the public water mains and the sewer; everything on the property side of the connection belongs to the owner, and we point out exactly where that dividing line falls on your site.
Are the riverside streets a flood risk for plumbing?
Council's flood maps place the low riverside fringe, including Annie, Holman, Goodwin and Macdonald streets, inside the 1974, 2011 and 2022 events, while the ridge spine along Main Street and Shafston Avenue stayed clear of all three.
Can you replace an old cylinder in a walk-up block?
Yes, the walk-up blocks along Scott Street and River Terrace mostly run one storage heater to each unit, and we swap a failed cylinder with the water isolated so the neighbours on either side keep their supply.
