A dripping tap wastes more water than most people realise — and on Brisbane's southside, where older homes often have ageing fittings and tired washers, a small leak can quietly become a bigger problem. C's Plumbing & Gas travels from Yatala to sort it properly.
Older suburbs like Holland Park, Mount Gravatt and Cannon Hill are full of character homes built in the 1960s through to the 1990s. That's great for street appeal, but those same properties often carry original tapware, galvanised pipework and fittings that have simply reached the end of their service life. A dripping mixer or a weeping outdoor tap isn't always a five-minute washer job — sometimes the seat is worn, the valve is corroded, or the supply line behind the wall needs attention.
C's Plumbing & Gas is a QBCC-licensed, family-run business that services the Brisbane southside regularly, travelling up the M1 from our base in Yatala. We carry a practical range of tap components and replacement fittings on the van, so most repairs are completed in a single visit rather than stretched across two call-outs while parts are ordered.
We work on all common tap types found across Brisbane homes — pillar taps, ceramic disc mixers, quarter-turn ball valves, garden taps and laundry faucets. If the fitting is beyond economical repair we'll tell you honestly and walk you through replacement options that suit your existing plumbing rather than pushing an unnecessary upgrade.
Ignoring a slow leak costs money on your water bill and can cause hidden damage to cabinetry, wall linings and subfloor timbers — particularly in older Queenslander-style homes where moisture finds its way through quickly. Getting it looked at early is nearly always cheaper than dealing with the consequences later.
Worn washers, faulty ceramic discs and damaged valve seats are all common culprits in older Brisbane homes. We diagnose the cause and fix it in one visit where possible.
Single-lever mixers in kitchens and bathrooms are convenient until the cartridge fails. We replace cartridges or the full fitting, matching your existing tapware finish where practical.
Garden taps on Brisbane southside homes cop plenty of UV and general wear. We repair or replace leaking hose taps, including checking for any backflow-prevention requirements.
Not all tap leaks are visible. If water is appearing in walls or under cabinetry, we locate the source accurately before opening up any surfaces unnecessarily.
When repair isn't cost-effective, we supply and install quality replacement tapware suited to your plumbing configuration, handling all connections to current standards.
A tap that won't shut off is a genuine emergency. We offer 24-hour call-outs to Brisbane southside suburbs, available around the clock for urgent plumbing situations.
Yes — C's Plumbing & Gas regularly travels to Brisbane's southside from our base in Yatala, roughly 25–40 minutes down the M1. We service Holland Park, Mount Gravatt, Cannon Hill and the surrounding area. For bookings or urgent call-outs, ring us on 0405 275 741 and we'll confirm availability and travel time for your location.
We assess the tap and the nature of the repair first, then give you a clear quote before any work begins. We don't quote blind over the phone because a dripping tap in a 1970s Brisbane home can range from a simple washer to a corroded valve seat requiring more involved work. You'll know exactly what's involved and what it will cost before we proceed.
In Queensland, any work that connects to or affects your water supply or drainage system — including tapware beyond basic washer changes — must be carried out by a licensed plumber under the Plumbing and Drainage Act. Unlicensed work can void insurance and cause issues at sale or insurance claim. C's Plumbing & Gas is fully QBCC-licensed, and we can provide documentation for your records.
