Common Plumbing Issues in Mount Gravatt

Mount Gravatt’s plumbing problems often relate to its ageing homes, leafy streets, and steep terrain. Below are the issues we resolve most often.

1. Tree Roots Breaking into Older Clay Sewer Lines

Mount Gravatt is full of mature trees — gums, poincianas, jacarandas — all with strong, invasive root systems. Many homes still have their original clay sewer pipes, which naturally form cracks as they age. Roots enter these cracks and quickly take over the line, causing:

  • Toilets draining slowly
  • Repeated blockages even after clearing
  • Sewer smells around the home
  • Cracked or collapsed pipe sections
  • Wastewater overflowing during heavy use

Once roots enter clay pipes, the issue only gets worse.

We remove the blockage, repair damaged sections, and upgrade old clay piping to modern materials so you’re not calling a plumber every few months.

2. Corroded Galvanised Water Pipes Causing Low Pressure

Mount Gravatt has many high-set timber homes built in the 1950s–1970s. Most were originally fitted with galvanised steel water pipes, which corrode internally over time.

This leads to:

  • Brown, rusty, or metallic-tasting water
  • Weak water pressure, especially at showers
  • Taps that sputter or run inconsistently
  • Hidden leaks behind walls
  • Appliances (washing machines, dishwashers) struggling to fill

Low water pressure is one of the most common issues we see in Mount Gravatt.

We upgrade galvanised pipework to copper or poly piping, restoring clean water flow and preventing future leaks.

3. Hot Water Systems Failing Due to Age & Exposure

Because so many Mount Gravatt blocks are sloped, hot water systems often sit outside in exposed areas. Older systems in these positions tend to:

  • Rust at the base
  • Leak around the fittings
  • Run out of hot water faster
  • Fluctuate in temperature mid-shower
  • Make popping or humming sounds


A failing unit can burst or flood an area — which is why fast assessment matters.

We repair functioning units and replace older or unsafe systems with modern electric or gas alternatives designed for Queensland conditions.

4. Stormwater Issues Caused by Sloping Blocks

Mount Gravatt’s hills make it one of the most beautiful suburbs in Brisbane — but they also create some of the toughest drainage challenges. Common problems include:

  • Water flowing back toward the house
  • Pooling at the base of driveways
  • Blocked or undersized stormwater pipes
  • Yard erosion during heavy rain
  • Stormwater overflowing under high-set homes


Older systems simply weren’t designed for Brisbane’s recent rainfall patterns.

We repair damaged lines, install new drainage solutions, re-route stormwater correctly, and help protect your home from long-term water damage.
