Bracken Ridge is a family-friendly suburb in Brisbane’s north, known for its elevated position, leafy streets, and mix of established homes and newer developments. With many properties built during the 1970s–1990s, a growing number of townhouses, and modern estates around Norris Road and Denham Street, Bracken Ridge presents a wide range of plumbing needs — from ageing pipes to new build installations.
JR Gas & Water has proudly serviced Bracken Ridge and neighbouring suburbs like Bald Hills, Fitzgibbon, and Sandgate for years, offering reliable plumbing solutions for local homeowners, landlords, and builders. Whether it’s fixing a blocked drain, replacing a leaking tap, or managing plumbing for a renovation or new home build, we’re your go-to local experts.
In Bracken Ridge, the most common plumbing issues come from older underground drains, root intrusion from mature trees, and pipe movement caused by the suburb’s reactive clay soils. Many original homes still have earthenware or galvanised piping, which can corrode, leak, or collapse over time. Heavy seasonal rains also lead to stormwater overflow and blocked pits, especially on sloping blocks. In newer developments, poor site drainage and subsoil water runoff can cause pooling around foundations or slow drainage systems.
Because we know the area so well, we can quickly identify and fix these issues — delivering long-term plumbing solutions built for Bracken Ridge conditions.

Blocked Drains in Bracken Ridge
Blocked drains are one of the most frequent issues in Bracken Ridge, especially in established areas with large trees and older clay pipes. Our team uses high-pressure hydro jetting and CCTV drain inspection to locate and clear blockages fast — without unnecessary digging.
Common Bracken Ridge drain issues we fix include:
-
Tree root intrusion in ageing earthenware lines
-
Collapsed or cracked underground pipes
-
Blocked stormwater drains and gutters after heavy rain
-
Grease and soap build-up in kitchen drains
-
Overflowing toilets and gully traps
If your drains repeatedly block, we can reline or replace affected sections with modern PVC systems for a permanent solution.
Leaking Taps, Toilets & Fixtures
Leaking taps and running toilets are common in Bracken Ridge homes, especially where older copper pipework or original fixtures remain in place. These leaks can waste thousands of litres of water per year and increase your bills unnecessarily.
We provide fast, reliable repairs or full fixture replacements — upgrading your plumbing with water-efficient fittings that perform better and save money long term.
We repair and replace:
