Built Before the Sewer Arrived
A late start on services
The first subdivisions here went in around 1960, the suburb was gazetted in 1972, and mains sewerage only reached these streets in 1974. That gap shapes half the jobs we attend.
What that leaves behind
Early owners relied on rainwater tanks and septic systems, and some of those tanks and trenches still sit under backyards today. They turn up when a hole is dug for a pool, an extension or a retaining wall.
Mostly houses
At the last census, 95 per cent of homes here were separate houses, spread across 3068 dwellings on slopes of shale and rock. Many blocks rest on land the council has zoned as landslide hazard.
Why the slope matters to us
Rain landing on a steep roof or driveway keeps travelling down the hill, over garden beds and retaining walls, unless it is piped properly to the street. Runoff here drains toward Cabbage Tree Creek and Kedron Brook, and it moves fast, which is why lot drains on the low corners can back up when a storm hits.
Something going wrong right now? Do this first:
- Water you can't stop: turn the water off at the meter, then call (07) 3067 4119.
- A smell of gas: leave the property and call from outside. Don't flick switches or light flames.
- A drip or a slow drain: it can usually wait for a booked visit. Call (07) 3067 4119 and we'll set a time.
- Late at night or on a public holiday: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Where the Calls Come From
Emergencies
Burst flexi hoses and failing relief valves, especially on the streets below the council water reservoir on Caesar Road where the mains pressure runs high. If water or gas is escaping where it should not, start at the emergency plumbing page.
Drains
Plenty of sewer lines here date from the mid-1970s sewering, and glazed clay was the material of choice; those pipes are past their fiftieth birthday now, and every joint is a door for roots. The drainage page covers how we clear and inspect them.
Hot water
Cold snaps on the exposed hill streets finish off elderly tanks, and houses of that vintage keep our winter call sheet full of no-hot-water jobs. Start at hot water if your shower has gone cold.
Everyday plumbing
Taps, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and the gas work that keeps a Hills District winter warm. The plumbing page has the full list of jobs.
Wind, Rain and Old Clay Drains
Storm exposure
Back in 2008, one storm tore roofs across this suburb, Ferny Grove, Keperra and The Gap. That says plenty about how summer wind finds these ridgelines.
Rain
The long-run average here is 1056 millimetres a year, and summer cells dump it onto steep roofs and driveways quicker than the old street pits can take it away. Leaf litter turns surface grates into dams, and the overflow heads for garage doors.
Roots
Street trees planted with the older subdivisions have had decades to reach the joints in house drains. Samford Conservation Park presses bushland up against the western lots, and its roots travel.
The combination
Old clay drains plus patient roots is why blocked drains are the most common booked job we attend on these streets. A drain that blocks twice in a year is telling you something.
What Changes the Price
Every job is quoted on what we find, and a few local factors move the figure:
Steep sites
Jobs on the slopes off Hutton Road can take extra fittings and more time on the tools.
Old drains
A clay line with root growth at several joints costs more to clear than one simple blockage.
Hot water swaps
A tank bolted to a sloping side wall takes longer than a straight swap on flat ground.
When the work is finished, you pay by card or EFTPOS on site. No surprises in either direction.

Questions We Get Asked
Call (07) 3067 4119What does a plumber in Ferny Hills cost?
Every job is quoted fixed before we begin, so you approve one figure up front in Ferny Hills and pay it on site by card or EFTPOS, with nothing extra afterwards.
Do you service the streets around Ferny Hills State School?
Yes, we service Illuta Avenue and Patricks Road on our regular run, along with Ferny Way, and we also look after homes in Bunya, Arana Hills, Keperra, Ferny Grove and Upper Kedron.
Who looks after the water and sewer mains in Ferny Hills?
The public water and sewer mains here are Unitywater's to run, but the owner's job is keeping in shape each pipe on the property side of the connection.
Can you help today if something has burst?
Call early and we will aim for same-day where we can, and while you wait, shut the water off at the meter if you can reach it safely.
My house is from the 1970s. Does that change anything?
It can, because houses of that vintage here often run a replacement hot water tank that is old again, clay drains with root-prone joints, and sometimes buried septic remains from before the 1974 sewer.
