Why Northgate Plumbing Needs Are Unique

Northgate’s mix of post-war homes, townhouses, and industrial zones creates specific plumbing challenges. Many cottages still have old clay pipes that crack or get root intrusions. Industrial sites near Bindha need trade waste systems like grease traps to meet council rules. Plus, aircraft noise from nearby Brisbane Airport can cause condensate issues, leading to damp spots or pipe corrosion in some homes.

We recently helped a Northgate family near Northgate station with a blocked sewer line caused by tree roots. Using a CCTV drain camera, we found the exact spot and cleared it with a high-pressure jet blaster, saving their yard from a full excavation. This kind of tailored fix is what we do best for Northgate residents.

Common Plumbing Issues in Northgate

Northgate’s flat landscape and older infrastructure mean certain plumbing problems show up often. Here’s what we fix regularly:

Blocked drains from grease or debris in industrial areas
Cracked clay pipes in older cottages
Trade waste separator clogs near Bindha industrial
Hot water system failures in townhouses
Leaking taps causing water waste
Low water pressure from aging pipes
Stormwater drain backups after heavy rain

Hot Water Systems in Northgate

Hot water is a must, whether you’re in a cozy Northgate cottage or running a business near Bindha. We install, repair, and replace all types of hot water systems, from electric systems to gas systems and heat pumps. Northgate’s older homes often have outdated systems that struggle to keep up. We recommend energy efficient models to cut your bills and keep hot water flowing.

For example, we recently swapped out a 20-year-old electric hot water unit for a Northgate family. The new heat pump system saved a signifcant ammount on energy costs and worked better with their townhouse’s layout. If your hot water is patchy or your bills are climbing, give us a call for a free site check.

Blocked Drains in Northgate Properties

Blocked drains are a big issue in Northgate, especially in industrial areas where grease and debris build up. We use high-pressure jet blasters and CCTV drain cameras to find and fix blockages fast. Whether it’s a kitchen sink in a cottage or a stormwater drain near Northgate station, we clear it without messing up your property.

A recent job in a Bindha industrial shed had a stubborn grease clog. Our CCTV camera showed exactly where the problem was, and we cleared it in under an hour. This tech saves time and keeps costs down for Northgate locals.

Here's What Our Customers Say

See what our local Brisbane customers are saying about our reliable plumbing services.

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!

Melanie Ullner
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!

Amanda Bate
Geordie and his team did a great job!! They were prompt, polite and were happy to explain to both me and my husband when our planned job had to change. Geordie gave us options and we were absolutely happy with the job. Highly recommend and will use the Weekend Plumbing Co for all plumbing jobs!!

Kerry Healy

Geordie and his team were absolutely amazing, right from start. Communication about the job was clear and explained in depth, including information about costing. They took care with installation, cleaned up beautifully and completed the job to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. for any plumbing needs. Thanks guys
