If you’re looking for a trusted plumber in Holland Park, CK Plumbing is your local, family-run team delivering fast, friendly, and reliable plumbing services. With over 15 years of experience working on homes across Brisbane’s Southside, we understand the plumbing challenges that come with Holland Park’s mix of character Queenslanders, post-war homes, and newer renovations.
Whether it’s a burst pipe, a failing hot water system, a blocked drain, or a bathroom upgrade, we provide same-day service, upfront pricing, and workmanship you can depend on.
We’re not a call centre — when you contact CK Plumbing, you’re speaking directly to a licensed local plumber.
Holland Park has a large number of established homes, many built decades ago. Because of this, we frequently repair issues caused by aging plumbing systems, soil movement, and established tree roots.
Many homes in Holland Park still rely on their original clay sewer lines. As these pipes age, small gaps and fractures form in the joints. This creates the perfect entry point for tree roots — especially in leafy suburbs like Holland Park where mature trees grow close to property boundaries.
Once roots enter the pipe, they quickly thicken and spread, leading to:
Because clay pipes become more fragile over time, these issues tend to worsen rather than resolve themselves.
At CK Plumbing, we diagnose the cause of the blockage, clear the drain, and carry out the necessary repairs — whether that’s removing root intrusion, replacing a damaged section of pipe, or upgrading the entire line to modern, long-lasting materials. For severe or ongoing issues, we can arrange specialist equipment through our trusted network to ensure the job is done properly.
This local experience means we know exactly how to handle the kinds of root damage commonly found in older Holland Park homes.
Many post-war and mid-century homes in Holland Park were originally fitted with galvanised steel water pipes. While these pipes were durable at the time, decades of use cause them to corrode from the inside out. As corrosion builds up, the internal diameter of the pipe becomes narrower, restricting flow and weakening the pipe walls.
Homeowners often begin noticing symptoms long before the pipe fully fails, including:
Left untreated, galvanised pipes become increasingly brittle and prone to bursting — especially during high usage or when water pressure fluctuates.
At CK Plumbing, we assess the condition of your existing pipework and recommend the most practical long-term solution. In most cases, the best approach is to replace outdated galvanised lines with modern copper or poly piping, which offers:
We complete these upgrades with minimal disruption, ensuring your home’s water supply is safe, reliable, and built to last.
Holland Park has many established homes with older electric or gas hot water systems that are well past their expected lifespan. As these units age, they become less efficient, more unreliable, and more prone to sudden failure — often at the most inconvenient times.
Homeowners typically notice early warning signs such as:
If ignored, these symptoms can quickly escalate into:
At CK Plumbing, we diagnose hot water issues quickly and provide straightforward advice on whether your system can be repaired or if replacement is the more cost-effective option.
We work with all major brands and provide:
If you need a new system, we help you choose the right size and type for your household, ensuring reliable performance, lower running costs, and compliance with current standards.
Our local experience means we understand the common failure points of older Southside hot water units — allowing us to get your hot water back on fast, often the same day.
Holland Park is known for its established trees, sloping blocks, and older stormwater systems — all of which contribute to recurring drainage problems, especially during Brisbane’s heavy summer rainfall. Many homes still rely on original clay or early-generation PVC lines that have shifted, cracked, or become blocked over time.
Typical signs of stormwater issues include:
These issues are more than an inconvenience — left untreated, poor drainage can damage foundations, cause structural movement, create mould issues, erode landscaping, and increase flood risk during severe weather.
The most common causes we see in Holland Park include:
