Plumber Northgate

Hot water systems for Northgate's older homes

Many Northgate houses date back to the pre-war and post-war years, and their hot water setups have been replaced two or three times over. We see everything here from electric storage tanks tucked under high-set homes to gas continuous flow units bolted on during a renovation. Whatever you are running, we repair and replace electric and gas systems, match the new unit to your household size, and can often do the swap the same day. Start with our hot water service and you will have a fixed price before any work begins.

Blocked drains under Northgate's timber homes

Old suburbs mean old sewers. Under and around Northgate’s timber homes the original earthenware lines are often close to a century old, and tree roots find every joint. Slow draining showers, gurgling toilets and that smell in the backyard usually trace back to one root-bound section. We camera the line first, then jet it clear and show you exactly where the problem is, so you know whether blocked drain clearing has fixed it for good or a pipe section needs relining or replacing.

Emergency plumber in Northgate, day or night

A burst pipe under a high-set home can dump a lot of water before anyone notices, so when you spot it, speed matters. Our phones are answered 24/7, and with team members spread across Brisbane’s north there is usually a plumber not far from Northgate. Before we arrive, shut off the water at the meter and work through our emergency guide, which covers the steps that limit damage in the first ten minutes. No call-out fee, even at 2am.

Gas fitting and leak detection around Northgate

Every plumber on our team also holds a gas licence, so we install cooktops and heaters, run new gas lines, chase suspected leaks and issue compliance certificates in a single visit. For water leaks you cannot see, we bring specialist leak detection equipment rather than guessing and cutting. One thing worth knowing as a Northgate owner: Urban Utilities owns the main in the street and your water meter, while every pipe past the meter is yours. If your bill jumps and nothing looks wet, our leak detection team will find where that water is going.
