Plumber Hendra
Most Hendra calls come down to one decision: repair or replace. Plumbing Nundah works the suburb on the same regular run as the Nundah ridge, and the pre-1940 and postwar houses here keep raising that question.

Repair or replace. Galvanised supply line that has rusted shut usually deserves replacement. A drain choked at one earthenware socket often just needs that joint repaired.

- Emergency plumbing: burst pipes, toilets overflowing, cold showers and gas smells
- General plumbing: tap and toilet repairs, bathrooms, kitchens, leak tracing, gas fitting

- Hot water: repairing tanks and replacing whole systems

Old Stock, One Decision
One wave of pipe
This suburb filled in around the racing industry near the heritage-listed Eagle Farm Racecourse on the Ascot boundary, and was largely complete early in the postwar years, so most drains went down as short earthenware lengths with cement joints. Ground movement loosens those joints and leaves lips that snag paper and silt.
Trees on the verges
Jacaranda and royal poinciana line the streets off Zillman Road and Gerler Road, and roots that size follow moisture into any open socket. A cut clears the choke; repairing the joint stops the return.
Galvanised behind the walls
Racing-era houses were plumbed in galvanised pipe, and surviving stretches rust inward, showing up as weak flow at the tap furthest from the meter.
Big Tanks, Big Families
Census figures put 50 per cent of local homes at four bedrooms or more, and houses with that much room tend to rely on a single big tank, or a pair of them, mounted outside by the wall.
The tell. A tank that scales up inside loses capacity first, then leaks at the base or the relief valve. A base leak means the cylinder is finished; a failed element or valve usually means a repair is worth it.
The Creek Side
The suburb missed the mapped 1974 river flood, and January 2011 left it almost unmarked. Kedron Brook is the real exposure, running through the north and centre on its way towards the Schulz Canal outfall.
After a creek rise. The February 2022 flood extent covers Widdop Street along with Woodville, McIntyre and Brook Streets, and the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's damage audits placed the suburb near the top for severely damaged homes. Gullies and yard drains in that corridor deserve a clear-out ahead of each storm season, not after.

Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4272Who owns the pipes under Hendra streets?
Urban Utilities looks after the public water and sewer mains under the street, while every pipe on the property side of the connection belongs to the owner, so your side is yours.
Can old galvanised pipe stay in a racing-era house?
Yes, and it usually should be replaced, because racing-era galvanised line rusts inward and chokes the flow, so we trace what survives behind the walls and retire the failing lengths.
Do the suburb's street trees block the drains?
They do, because the jacaranda and poinciana verges carry root systems that reach the old earthenware sockets, so we cut the roots back and repair the joint they entered through.
Should a big family tank be repaired or replaced?
A tank that still holds water usually earns a repair, but a base leak or heavy scale inside means the cylinder is done, so we size the new unit to the house.
Does creek flooding affect plumbing here?
It can, because the February 2022 flood along Kedron Brook took in Widdop Street and the streets beside it, so any drain serving a house on that low ground gets checked before each storm season.
