Know the signs

Kenmore Warning Signs

Hilly streets, busy family kitchens and ageing fittings each leave clues. Here is what they point to.

  • Pipes bang at shut-off

    Water hammer, often linked to high pressure.

  • Relief valve keeps dripping

    Pressure or a valve fault at the hot water unit.

  • Wet carpet by a wall

    A joint may have failed behind the plasterboard.

  • Hissing inside the walls

    Water escaping from a pipe you cannot see.

  • Kitchen sink holding water

    Grease and food building up in the waste.

  • Hot water fading early

    An ageing tank or a failing element.

Pressure too high?

A pressure reducing valve after the meter can protect taps, hoses and valves.

Plumbing in Kenmore

Your Kenmore Plumbing Guide

Kenmore is a leafy suburb in Brisbane's west, part of the Brisbane City Council area and sharing the 4069 postcode with Chapel Hill and Kenmore Hills. It is mostly family homes on hilly, tree-lined streets, with townhouse and unit complexes closer to the shops and main roads.

Water pressure and noisy pipes

On hilly streets, water pressure can vary from one property to the next. High pressure is hard on taps, hoses and hot water valves, and can show up as banging pipes or a relief valve that keeps dripping. In September, in Chapel Hill, we replaced a 250 litre hot water system and fitted a pressure reducing valve just after the meter, set so the property stayed within the recommended limit. If your taps hammer when they shut off, it is worth having the pressure checked.

When a pipe lets go

Copper joints and fittings can fail with age, and when it happens inside a wall the first sign is often wet carpet or a hissing sound. That was the story at a Chapel Hill home this October, where a failed joint behind the plasterboard had soaked the carpets. Turn the water off at the meter, then call us. We locate the leak, open only as much wall as needed and replace the damaged section. Plastering and carpet drying are separate trades, and we will tell you what to organise next.

Busy kitchens and ageing toilets

Grease, food scraps and soap build up in kitchen wastes until the sink stops draining. We clear the blockage by hand and can follow up with an acid wash to break down the grease on the pipe walls, which helps stop it coming straight back. Old toilets wear out too, and we regularly remove tired suites and fit and test new ones.

Urban Utilities maintains the water main and meter in Kenmore, so leaks on the street side are theirs to fix. From the meter to the house, and everything inside, is the owner's responsibility. You get a fixed upfront price for every job, and our work is backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
