Tap Repairs
A dripping tap is the most common call on this run, and the fix is usually a washer, jumper valve or cartridge. Tap repairs covers which old bodies suit saving.

Mostly houses, mostly older ones. At the last census Aspley counted 5076 dwellings, and separate houses made up 72.1 per cent of them, so the run of work is worn washers, tired cisterns and slow fixtures.
Licensed plumbing and gasfitting under QBCC No: 15024607, and a fixed quote before any work starts.
Where Each Job Belongs
These six jobs each need a different first move, so this page splits them early:
A tap that drips, sprays or will not shut off
start with Tap Repairs.
A cistern running all night, sticking or refusing to flush
that is Toilet Repairs.
A weak shower, a bath holding water, a vanity leaking into the drawer
see Bathroom Plumbing.
A slow sink, a mixer dripping under the bench, a dishwasher leaving water standing
go to Kitchen Plumbing.
A water bill creeping up with no visible cause
read Leak Detection.
A new gas appliance, a cooker fault, a bayonet behind the lounge
that is Gas Fitting.
Anything flooding faster than you can mop it belongs on the emergency plumbing pages, and drains that refuse to run live under Drainage Aspley.
Two Building Waves Set the Pipes
Most of the pipe under this suburb went in during two eras.
The 1952 subdivision and the garden-suburb push behind it spread single-level detached homes across the hills and flats, and the building boom of the sixties and seventies added most of today's brick-veneer frontage.
The fifties inheritance
The first farm-era homes took their supply pipe in galvanised steel, and plenty of that old metal is still working behind the wall linings, its bore narrowing as scale builds.
The drains under all of it
House drains laid through both waves are typically earthenware with rigid joints, and the reactive clay underneath works those joints loose between wet summers and dry winters.
That mix decides our first move on most calls. A scaled galvanised line, a cracked earthenware run and a worn washer all get different treatment, and the directory below says which is which.
The Six Jobs We Do Across Aspley
Each page below takes one fixture from first symptom to finished repair.
Toilet Repairs
A cistern that refills all night is wasting water and sleep, and the cause is nearly always a worn inlet or outlet valve. Toilet repairs also covers stuck buttons and full suite swaps.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, baths, vanities and floor wastes all sit on this page, along with pressure that drops when the laundry tap runs. Bathroom plumbing covers the seams and traps in older bathrooms.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixers, dishwashers and the drains under the bench are kitchen work, and grease coats these lines faster than people expect. Kitchen plumbing covers them all in an Aspley home.
Leak Detection
A hidden leak shows on the water bill long before it shows anywhere else, and tracing it without demolition is the whole job. Leak detection explains the approach.
Gas Fitting
Cookers, heaters, bayonets and roof-space gas lines all need licensed gasfitting, which our QBCC licence covers beside plumbing and drainage. Gas fitting lists the work we do.

Repair Replace or Leave It Be
The honest answer to most plumbing questions is one of three words.
Repair
A dripping tap, a running cistern, a cracked outlet valve: all fixable in one visit, and all easier to fix early.
Replace
A galvanised supply line that has scaled shut and stains the water is past patching. Same for a cistern body with a crack through it. We quote the swap, not a band-aid.
Maintain
Flushing a tempering valve, re-sealing a shower base or clearing a floor waste before the storm season takes minutes and prevents a flooded laundry.
Repair or replace is a common question here for a simple reason: plenty of homes have already been through two or three rounds of plumbing, so patching the worst joint this year often means the next worst one appears the following year.
We quote both paths so you can see the difference across five years, not just this invoice.
Roots and Creeks Shape the Wet Work
The shade runs deep
Street and garden trees planted through the sixties promotion have grown to sit right above the old earthenware drains along the Robinson Road West and Trouts Road blocks, and fine roots track the moisture along old trench lines into any joint that has opened.
The flats cop the storms
The two creeks give this suburb its low centre, and that ground is where Brisbane City Council's creek flood mapping spreads widest, so yards and laundries there meet storm runoff first.
For general plumbing, both factors matter in smaller ways: roots can crush a soft supply pipe and show up as pressure loss, and a floor waste on the flats wants clearing before the November-to-March storm season.

Plumbing Questions From Aspley Homes
Call (07) 3067 4272Do older Aspley houses still have galvanised pipes?
Some do: galvanised steel supply pipe went into the earliest fifties homes on the farm subdivisions, and any that has not been repiped is still carrying water, staining it and slowing the flow.
Where does my responsibility end at the boundary?
Your boundary marks the dividing line: Urban Utilities looks after the public main and sewer beyond it, everything on the property side belongs to you, and we'll state clearly where a fault falls.
Can a hidden leak show up on my water bill?
It can, because a slow leak underground or behind a wall wastes water day and night, and the leak detection service finds it without smashing through tiles or wall linings.
Do you fix taps or replace them?
Usually we fix first, because a worn washer, jumper valve or o-ring solves most drips, and we only suggest replacing a tap when the body itself is cracked past a sensible repair.
Can one visit cover plumbing and gas work?
It can, because our licence covers plumbing and drainage and gasfitting, so a leaking tap and a faulty cooker can both be quoted and fixed on the same Aspley visit.

Ring (07) 3067 4272 and explain the trouble at your Aspley place, then we lock in a time and price the job before work of any kind starts, settling up by card or EFTPOS on site.
