Plumber Kedron
Plumber Kedron is our Chermside run one suburb south along Gympie Road, where a century of housing left three generations of plumbing in the ground. Census figures put 9,907 residents here at the last count, across about 3,999 homes.

Three Ages of Plumbing Under Kedron
The Lutwyche Road tram extensions opened this country up from the 1910s, and the blocks sold house by house over decades, so no single rule covers what sits under a yard here.
Baked-clay drains
sewers only reached these streets well after the houses went up, so much of the drainage is earthenware, jointed in short lengths that roots love.
Steel supply
the first houses connected to the reticulated water supply were piped in galvanised steel, and the unrenovated ones still run those lines, narrowed by scale and rusty at the first draw.
Mixed hot water
one street can hold cylinders of very different ages, from tanks in original raised houses to bulk-fitted units in the new flats.
The apartment blocks add their own calls. Braided hoses run under basins and behind loos throughout the newer buildings, and when one lets go, the unit downstairs cops the water.
Storm Season and the Brook
Summer storms sit heavily on the Kedron Brook catchment, and open-data snapshots put average annual rainfall near 1,039 millimetres. The brook also gathers water from far upstream, so rain that falls kilometres away arrives here as a climbing creek.
The low edge
ground near Mercer Park sits inside Brisbane City Council's creek flood extent from February 2022, and it went under in that event.
The drains
when the brook stands above the outlets, stormwater along that edge has nowhere to go, and the pits back up first.
After a flood
the low rooms near the park are the ones that need pumping out and checking once the water drops.

Kedron Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4272Do old Kedron houses still have galvanised water pipes?
Plenty do, because the earliest reticulated-water connections here were piped in steel, and those lines scale up inside, which shows up as weak flow and rusty water at the tap.
Who owns the sewer pipes in Kedron?
Urban Utilities looks after the public sewer and the mains under the street, while anything on the property side of that connection is yours, so a repair past the boundary is your job to arrange.
Does Kedron Brook flooding affect plumbing near Mercer Park?
It can, because that ground went under in the 2022 floods and sits inside council's mapped creek flood extent, so a laundry or garage on the low edge near the brook deserves a check after a rise.
Why do drains block so often in Kedron?
Because most of the older streets were drained with baked-clay pipe jointed in short lengths, and those joints both shift with the ground and invite roots, while wipes and fat catch on the same lips.
Can you work in Kedron apartment blocks?
Yes, we work with body corporates across the newer flat blocks, and we document every fault and fix so a committee has the records it needs for shared water and drainage lines.
