Get a Fast QuoteWhy Herston Needs Specialized Plumbing
Herston’s inner-north location, just 2-3 km from Brisbane’s CBD, makes it a busy hub for health workers, students, and families. The area’s old workers’ cottages, student rentals, and hospital facilities like RBWH come with specific plumbing challenges. Aging pipes in heritage homes often leak or clog, while campus buildings need hospital-grade systems like thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) to keep water safe. We’re used to working around Herston’s unique setup, including night shifts to avoid disrupting hospital operations.
Common Plumbing Issues in Herston
Herston’s mix of housing and infrastructure means certain problems pop up often. Here’s what we see most:
- Blocked drains in student rentals from grease or hair buildup
- Leaking pipes in old cottages near Victoria Parklands
- Faulty TMVs in hospital or uni facilities failing compliance checks
- Hot water system breakdowns in high-use rentals
- Backflow issues in commercial buildings near RBWH
- Stormwater drain clogs after heavy rain near creek low points
- Low water pressure in older homes with outdated pipes
Hot Water Systems in Herston
A hot water system is a must for Herston’s busy households and medical facilities. We install, repair, and replace all types of systems from electric, gas, and heat pumps. In student rentals near the university, we often swap out old electric units for energy efficient heat pumps to cut bills. For example, we recently upgraded a rental on Garrick Terrace with a heat pump that saved the landlord 30% on energy costs. If your hot water cuts out, we offer same-day emergency fixes to get you back up and running.
Blocked Drains? We’ve Got Hendra Covered
Blocked drains are a headache in Herston, especially in rentals where sinks and showers get heavy use. We use high-pressure jet blasters and CCTV inspections to find and clear blockages fast. We once fixed a clogged kitchen drain in a student share house near Herston Road caused by years of grease buildup. Our team cleared it in under an hour and added a maintenance plan to keep it flowing. We also handle stormwater drains near creek areas, which often clog after storms.
Backflow Prevention for Herston Businesses
Herston’s medical and uni facilities need regular backflow testing to meet council rules. Our certified plumbers test and repair backflow devices to keep your water supply safe. We recently helped a clinic near RBWH pass their annual compliance check by replacing a faulty valve. Whether it’s a small office or a large campus plant, we make sure your system meets standards without downtime.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!
-
Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
-
