The reason is the housing stock. Much of it is small postwar cottage, built after the Housing Commission resumed the land in 1951, so plumbing here has been patched and renewed in stages for seventy years. Our plumbers are through most weeks, covering the 2,795 homes counted there at the last census.
What We Cover
- Emergency plumbing: burst pipes, overflowing toilets, cold showers and gas smells.
- General plumbing: tap and toilet work, bathrooms, kitchens, hidden leaks and gas appliances.
- Drainage: blocked sewers, stormwater and yard drains, plus camera inspections that show what a line is made of.
- Hot water: repairs that keep an ageing tank going, and complete new systems when a swap is due.

Old Cottages and Newer Pockets
The repair-versus-replace call usually comes down to the age of what is failing.
The postwar stock leans toward careful repair
The fibro and weatherboard cottages run electric storage tanks that have mostly been swapped once or twice already, and the tight laundry corners and rear lean-tos that hold them let a dripping relief valve or a rusted base go unseen until the floor is wet.
The drains tell their own story
Houses of that era predate the citywide sewer rollout, so surviving house drains are glazed clay, and those joints crack and silt up with fine granite grit long before a collapse shows itself.
The newer estates fail differently
Kings Grove, built where the drive-in used to be, and The Quarry, on the old extraction site, tend to throw up fitting and workmanship faults in young homes rather than tired pipework.
The setting adds pressure
Bushland along the southern fringe and mature golf-course timber beside the brook keep vigorous roots close to surrounding streets, so a blocked sewer here is rarely a surprise.
Why Choose Ferny Hills Plumber

Keperra Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4119Who looks after the sewer main out in my street?
Urban Utilities owns and maintains the public main, while the pipes on your side of the connection belong to you, so we will always tell you whose responsibility a fault is.
Could my Keperra yard still hide an old septic tank?
Quite possibly, because this suburb was subdivided well before the city sewers arrived, and old tanks with their trenches often sit forgotten under lawns until a new deck or extension uncovers them.
Do any streets near Kedron Brook flood?
Council mapping from 2022 shows the creek flood extent touching a small number of properties near the brook, Burdon Street and Duggan Street among them, so a blocked drain there can coincide with rising creek water.
Are the original drains in a 1950s cottage still clay?
Often yes, because these cottages were built before the sewer network reached the area, and any original house drain left in the ground will be glazed clay with open joints that roots find easily.
Are hot water failures common in the older homes here?
They are, because most postwar cottages have already been through one or two tank swaps, and the small laundry spaces holding the current unit hide a failing valve until water reaches the floor.
