Plumbing Services in Bulimba

Bulimba is one of Brisbane’s most desirable riverside suburbs — a vibrant mix of Queenslander homes, boutique apartments, and luxury modern builds overlooking the Brisbane River. Its blend of elevated streets like Bulimba Street and Smallman Street, flood-prone river flats, and ageing infrastructure means Bulimba’s plumbing requires careful local understanding.

JR Gas & Water has been providing professional plumbing services across Bulimba, Balmoral, Hawthorne, and Teneriffe for years. We help homeowners, landlords, and builders with everything from blocked drains and leaking toilets to full plumbing installations for renovations and new homes.

In Bulimba, plumbing challenges are often tied to the area’s riverside location and soil movement. Older Queenslanders still feature original galvanised or copper pipework that corrodes from river-air moisture, while some riverbank properties experience high groundwater and poor stormwater runoff during heavy rain. Flat blocks near Oxford Street and Riding Road can suffer from slow drainage and flooding, while newer multi-level homes on smaller lots sometimes face pressure issues or undersized stormwater systems.

With our local expertise, JR Gas & Water provides solutions built for Bulimba’s environment — durable, compliant, and designed to perform for decades.

Blocked Drains in Bulimba

Bulimba’s tree-lined streets and river-influenced water tables make blocked drains one of the most common problems for homeowners. Using CCTV drain cameras and hydro jet equipment, our team locates and clears blockages quickly and without excavation whenever possible.

Typical Bulimba drain issues we repair:

  • Tree root intrusion in clay or PVC pipes

  • Collapsed or misaligned drain sections from soil movement

  • Stormwater overflow after heavy rain or tide backflow

  • Grease and soap build-up from kitchen lines

  • Blocked gully traps and slow outdoor drains

Where pipes are repeatedly blocking, we provide pipe relining or replacement for a long-term solution.


Leaking Taps, Toilets & Fixtures

Bulimba’s older homes often feature classic bathrooms and kitchens with fittings that have long outlived their seals. Add coastal air corrosion, and leaks become inevitable.

We offer same-day repairs and modern fixture upgrades using water-efficient brands that blend style and performance.

We repair and replace:

  • Dripping taps and mixers

  • Constantly running toilets

  • Leaking shower fittings

  • Garden taps and hose bibs

  • Water hammer and low-pressure issues
