New Farm is one of Brisbane’s most iconic inner-city suburbs — a lively riverside community known for its Queenslander charm, heritage apartments, and luxury homes overlooking the Brisbane River. With a mix of century-old houses, 1970s walk-ups, and high-end modern builds, plumbing in New Farm demands specialist experience and a careful touch.
JR Gas & Water has been servicing New Farm, Teneriffe, Fortitude Valley, and Newstead for years, providing reliable plumbing for homeowners, landlords, and developers. From blocked drains and leaking toilets to full plumbing systems for renovations and new homes, our licensed team delivers high-quality work that lasts.
In New Farm, the most common plumbing issues come from ageing infrastructure, tree-root intrusion, and water pressure inconsistencies in multi-level dwellings. Many homes still have original copper or galvanised piping prone to corrosion and leaks, while established trees along Merthyr Road and Brunswick Street often invade older drains. Riverside streets also face high water tables and slow stormwater drainage after heavy rain. In newer apartments, compact plumbing layouts can cause water-hammer or flow imbalance between fixtures.
Our local expertise means we know how to tackle these challenges efficiently and cleanly — with minimal disruption and results built to last.

Blocked Drains in New Farm
New Farm’s older housing and tree-lined streets make blocked drains one of the area’s most frequent plumbing issues. Our team uses CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure hydro jetting to locate and clear blockages fast — protecting your home from flooding or damage.
Common New Farm drain issues we fix:
-
Tree root intrusion in old clay or PVC drains
-
Collapsed or cracked pipes under older properties
-
Blocked stormwater drains during heavy rain
-
Grease and soap build-up in kitchens and laundries
-
Overflowing toilets and gully traps
We can also reline or replace damaged sections to prevent recurring blockages.

Leaking taps and toilets are common across New Farm’s older homes and apartments. Age, corrosion, and hard water all play a part — but with the right parts and expertise, they’re quick fixes. JR Gas & Water provides same-day repairs and replacements using durable, water-efficient fittings.
