Algester is one of the older suburbs on our southside run — about 15 minutes from Kuraby — and its 1970s and 80s housing throws up a very different set of plumbing problems to the newer estates next door in Parkinson and Calamvale.
Part of our Brisbane southside service area.
Original copper and galvanised pipework, earthenware sewer lines that tree roots love, and taps and cisterns that have been re-washered a dozen times are all common here. A lot of Algester homes are also being renovated, which is when we're called to relocate pipework, replace tapware and bring old hot water installs up to current standards.

Mature trees plus 40–50 year old clay sewer lines are the classic Algester combination. Repeat blockages every few months usually mean roots at a joint. We clear the line, then camera it and show you exactly where the damage is so you can decide between ongoing clears and a proper repair.
Low pressure at the hot tap, brown water first thing in the morning or pinhole leaks in the ceiling are signs the original pipework is at end of life. We repair sections or re-pipe as part of a renovation.
Old jumper-valve taps and single-flush cisterns waste a lot of water. We reseat and re-washer where the tap body is sound, or replace with modern mixers and dual-flush suites.
Many Algester homes have had a couple of hot water units over the decades. We check the tempering valve, PTR valve and drain are up to current requirements when we replace the unit.

“Was given Joseph’s name by a friend. He came out the next day and fitted a new sink, mixer and plumbing for our kitchen renovation. Will definitely keep his details for plumbing work in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Fast and efficient work. Arrived on time, was very friendly and polite. All rubbish from new installed items was removed and everything left clean. Would highly recommend to friends and family for future plumbing needs.”
