Repair or Replace on the Peninsula
The repair-versus-replace call here depends on the building, and the buildings span a century.
The drains are old
Sewering arrived here by the mid-1930s, so the older flats and houses run on earthenware drains close to a century old. The big trees shading the streets south of Brunswick Street send fine roots into every joint that has shifted.
Hot water is mixed
Each older flat usually has a heater of its own, out on the balcony or inside a laundry cupboard, and owners swap them one at a time.
Repair usually wins
a tank under ten years old with a failed element, valve or thermostat gets the part swapped, same-day where we can.
Replacement usually wins
a weeping cylinder, a tank past its service life, or a cupboard heater dripping into the flat below.
Low Blocks and the River
The peninsula sits in a river bend, and the low land behaves differently from the ridge.
Flood history splits the suburb
Welsby Street and Alford Street went under in all three of the big river floods, along with low stretches of Sydney, Lamington and Brunswick streets, in 1974, 2011 and 2022. The ridge along Moray Street and Bowen Terrace stayed out of all three.
Groundwater lingers
Storm water hangs about under garages and ground-floor flats on the silty river-edge blocks after rain. When a heavy storm loads the old drains, gully traps near the river can spill before the main in the street empties.
That history shapes how we treat blocked stormwater and blocked sewer calls on the low ground here.
Why Choose Plumber Bowen Hills

New Farm Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4276Who looks after the sewer main under my New Farm street?
The public sewer and water mains are Urban Utilities' to look after, and the pipes past the connection are yours or the body corporate's, so that work is quoted to the owner.
Do the old earthenware drains under New Farm flats block more often?
Yes, the sewers reached this part of the peninsula by the mid-1930s, and the cement joints on those earthenware branches have been loosening with roots and ground movement ever since, so they block more often.
Can a burst hose in a New Farm walk-up flat damage the units below?
It can, because water from an upper flat runs through timber floors and plaster ceilings, so the first move is isolating the supply at the meter, then calling us for help.
Which New Farm streets went under in the river floods?
Council flood mapping puts Welsby and Alford streets, parts of Sydney and Lamington streets and the river end of Brunswick Street under water in 1974, 2011 and 2022, while the ridge streets stayed out.
Can one blocked lateral affect every floor of an old New Farm flat block?
It can, because one shared earthenware lateral serves the whole block, so a stoppage in it backs up into the gullies and floor drains on every floor at once before help arrives.
