Plumbing, Drainage & Gas Fitting in Coorparoo
Coorparoo sits around six kilometres south-east of the CBD, and its housing reflects more than a century of growth. Timber Queenslanders and interwar homes fill the older streets, rendered Spanish Mission-style houses still stand along Cavendish Road, walk-up unit blocks arrived from the late 1960s, and apartment towers now rise above Old Cleveland Road at Coorparoo Square. Each era was plumbed differently, so we begin every job by working out what is actually in the ground and inside the walls before recommending a fix.
- Blocked sewer and stormwater drains, cleared and CCTV inspected
- Tree root removal from older clay sewer lines
- Stormwater and surface drainage for low-lying blocks
- Concealed leak detection in walls, slabs and underground
- Gas and electric hot water repairs and replacements
- Gas fitting, cooktops and appliance connections
- Pipe relining without digging up established gardens
- Renovation plumbing for character and pre-war homes

Why Coorparoo Residents Choose Adept
Norman Creek runs through Coorparoo and gave the suburb its name. Its low-lying surrounds flooded in 1889 and 1893, and parts of the suburb were affected again in the 2011 Brisbane floods. For properties on lower ground, clear stormwater lines, unblocked gullies and a working overflow relief gully at the sewer are worth checking before the summer storm season, not after it.
Further up the hill the problems change. Mature trees and decades-old clay sewer pipes are a common cause of root intrusion and repeat blockages, while many raised Queenslanders hide ageing water and waste lines under the floor. In the rendered masonry homes of the interwar years, pipes often run inside solid walls, so a leak can travel a long way before it shows. We use CCTV drain cameras, acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas to pinpoint the cause rather than opening up walls on a hunch.
Where a home is protected under Brisbane City Council’s pre-1946 character rules, a renovation needs to work with the original house rather than against it. Our team plumbs bathrooms, kitchens and laundries in raised and built-in-under homes, and our office keeps you updated from the first call through to the final clean-up.

frequently asked questions
Do you provide emergency plumbing in Coorparoo?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and prioritise burst pipes, sewer overflows, gas leaks and hot water failures across Coorparoo and the surrounding southside suburbs.
My drains back up during heavy storms. Can you help?
Yes. We clear and CCTV inspect stormwater lines, check gullies and downpipe connections, and make sure your overflow relief gully is working so that if the sewer surcharges, it spills outside rather than inside the house. It is especially worthwhile for homes on lower ground near Norman Creek.
Can you fix recurring blocked drains caused by tree roots?
Yes. We cut roots out with high pressure jetting and root-cutting heads, then run a camera through the line so you can see its condition for yourself. Where an old clay pipe is cracked or displaced, pipe relining can seal it without digging up your driveway or garden.
Do you plumb renovations in Queenslanders and character homes?
Yes. We work with homeowners and builders on bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations, including relocating waste lines when a house is raised or built in underneath, and replacing tired pipework while the walls and floors are open.
Can you install or service gas appliances in Coorparoo?
Yes. Our licensed gas fitters install and service cooktops, ovens, instantaneous hot water systems and heaters, run new gas lines, and locate and repair gas leaks, with every job tested and certified for compliance.
