What We Do in Fitzgibbon
The whole service range falls into four groups, from urgent jobs to planned work.
General Plumbing Fitzgibbon
Taps, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, concealed leaks and gas appliances make up the week-in, week-out work for our plumbers, and each job below gets its own page:
Drainage Fitzgibbon
Flat blocks beside a creek give stormwater little fall to work with, and sewers here carry grease from the Roghan Road restaurants, so drains deserve proper attention:
Hot Water Fitzgibbon
The tanks the builders installed during the estate years are now failing one at a time, and these pages cover both repairing what can be repaired and replacing what cannot:

Plumbing Done Properly in Fitzgibbon
Plumber Fitzgibbon is a locally owned plumbing and gasfitting outfit, licensed under QBCC No: 15024607, working the streets of this small triangle and the suburbs on every side of it.
Our team handles everything from a dripping tap to a burst flexi hose, and no job starts without a written quote.
A Young Suburb With Old Problems
The plumbing story here is youth: most of the housing has arrived since the urban development area was declared in 2009, on ground that was council landfill until the mid-1990s.
Young estates, first failures
Census figures put 6,296 residents in 2,533 dwellings, and 81.9 per cent of homes are separate houses, mostly brick-veneer and render. Builder-installed tanks from those years are now old enough that things start letting go.
Solar well ahead of heat pumps
Across this postcode, solar hot water installations total 1,086 against 484 heat pumps, so most households are still running the tank the builder put in, never yet replaced.
Shared fittings, shared faults
Estate builders fitted the same mixers and braided hoses across whole streets, so a poor batch repeats house after house down the one street.
Older pockets in the south
A relocatable-home park and retirement villages sit on the suburb's southern side, where fittings and pipe runs predate the new estates entirely. Townhouses make up much of the rest of the stock, and their compact pipe runs reward tidy work.
Got a plumbing problem right now? Do this before you call:
- Water you can't turn off: turn the supply off at the water meter, then call (07) 3067 4289.
- You can smell gas: get out of the property and phone from outside. Avoid switches, sparks and naked flames.
- A minor drip or a slow drain: it can wait for a booked appointment. Call (07) 3067 4289 and we'll book you in.
- Out of hours: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no extra cost for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Which Service Do You Need?
Not sure where your job sits? These four short cards point you at the right section of the site.
Emergency plumbing
A braided hose that splits upstairs can pour water into the ceiling below before anyone notices. The emergency plumbing page explains what to shut off first and what can wait for a booked visit.
General plumbing
Dripping taps, running cisterns, slow sinks and gas appliance installs fill most of our week. Our plumbing page gathers all of it in the one place.
Drainage
Flat blocks, filled ground and low creek-side terraces make drains here their own trade. The drainage overview covers sewers, stormwater and camera inspections.
Hot water
When a builder-fitted tank dies, the question is repair or replace. The hot water page steps through both options without the jargon.
Water That Arrives and Water That Sits
The ground here shapes drainage work more than anywhere else on our run, and it pays to know why.
Flood mapping covers a lot of us
Brisbane City Council's creek flood planning overlays take in a large share of the suburb, following the creek that forms the western edge, and the February 2022 event reached these streets. A small storm-tide strip touches the north-east corner near the water. Flat ground means arriving water drains away slowly.
Soil that bites
Council flags nearly the whole suburb as acid sulfate soil, potential or actual, and disturbed ground of that kind turns aggressive to buried concrete and metal wherever a trench opens it.
Groundwater close to the top
State soil mapping puts most of the suburb on gleyed alluvial soils on the low creek terraces, so water sits close to the surface and tests every buried joint.
Before the wet season
Storms from November to March load the stormwater system hardest, so a spring check of the yard drains and pit lids is well worth doing on a flat block.
What Changes the Price
No honest number exists until someone has laid eyes on the job, so here is how the figure gets built instead.
Nothing agreed blind
No plumber can price work sight unseen, so the number arrives after one of our team has looked at what is actually there.
What moves the figure
Access under the house, how deep a drain sits, and whether a line crosses filled ground that has settled over the old landfill all change what a job takes.
Plain choices
If a simpler repair does the same work as a bigger job, the simpler one is what we quote, and we say why in words you can check.
Payment on the spot
When the work is finished you pay with card or EFTPOS on site, so there is no invoice to chase through the post.
