Newmarket’s mix of Queenslanders, post-war homes, and modern apartments creates unique plumbing needs. Older homes near Enoggera Creek often face flood risks or backflow issues, while under house conversions can hide old pipes that need replacing. Apartments near Newmarket Village deal with strata managed systems like central hot water or boosted pressure. Character overlays mean we need to be careful when working on heritage homes.
We recently helped a family on Wilston Road fix a leaking pipe under their Queenslander. The issue was corroded galvanised pipes from the 1950s. We replaced them with modern materials while keeping the home’s character intact. Our team knows Newmarket’s quirks and gets the job done right.
Common Plumbing Issues in Newmarket
Newmarket’s location and housing mix lead to some frequent plumbing problems. Here’s what we see most often:
- Blocked drains from tree roots or creek sediment
- Backflow valve issues in flood-prone areas
- Leaky pipes under Queenslanders or in conversions
- Hot water system failures in older homes
- Low water pressure in apartments with shared systems
- Stormwater drain blockages after heavy rain

We install, repair, and replace gas systems, electric systems, and heat pump systems. If your hot water’s acting up, we’ll check the system, diagnose the issue, and fix it fast, often on the same day.
We once replaced a 15 year old electric hot water system for a family near the Newmarket Pool. We installed a new heat pump unit that’s energy efficient and perfect for their busy household. For emergencies, we’re available 24/7 to get your hot water back.
Blocked Drains REsolutions in Newmarket
Blocked drains are common in Newmarket, especially near Enoggera Creek where sediment and roots can clog pipes. We use high-pressure jet blasters and CCTV drain cameras to clear blockages and find the cause without digging up your yard. Whether it’s a kitchen sink or a stormwater drain, we get water flowing again.
A recent job we did on View Street involved a blocked drain under a Queenslander. Our CCTV inspection found tree roots breaking into the pipe. We cleared the blockage and relined the pipe to prevent future issues, all without disturbing the home’s foundation.

Properties near Enoggera Creek or in strata managed apartments need backflow prevention devices to keep the water supply safe. These valves need annual testing to meet council standards.

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!
-
