Houses here are mostly detached family homes. They went up from the 1960s through to the 1990s, in brick veneer, weatherboard and fibro. At the last census, 95 per cent of the suburb's 3068 dwellings were detached houses, mostly owner-occupied. That era of house brings a familiar set of plumbing jobs, and we know them well.
What We Cover in Ferny Hills

Hills Built on Slopes and Old Drains
This suburb arrived late to the sewer. Subdivisions got going around 1960, the suburb was gazetted in 1972, and mains sewerage did not reach it until 1974. The first houses started out on rainwater tanks and septic systems.
Those early tanks and trenches still turn up during excavation for pools, extensions and retaining walls, and the drains laid in the first years of the sewer rollout are now past the fifty-year mark.
Steep ground runs the stormwater
A large share of lots sit on slopes the council flags for landslide hazard, so runoff off roofs and driveways heads downhill across fences unless it's piped to the street.
Old drains with plenty of joints
Where the early lines are glazed clay, the short pipe lengths and their many joints give roots and silt a way in, with vigorous growth near Samford Conservation Park keeping the pressure on.
Hot water on its second or third tank
Most homes here date from the 1970s and 1980s, and their current units are replacements, now wearing out themselves as elements, anodes and relief valves fail one after the other.
Why Choose Arana Hills Plumber
Every job here starts with a conversation, not a guess, whether it's a relief valve on Caesar Road or a blocked gully at the foot of Ferny Way.

Ferny Hills Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4274Why do drains block so often in the older Ferny Hills houses?
The clay lines laid when sewerage arrived in the mid-seventies have many joints, and mature street trees send roots straight into them, so we clear the blockage and camera-check the pipe rather than guess.
Can a buried septic tank still be in my Ferny Hills yard?
Yes, because the first houses went up before mains sewerage arrived in 1974, so tanks and trenches from those years can still sit unmarked under a lawn until excavation for a pool or extension uncovers them.
Does mains pressure run high on the hill streets near Caesar Road?
Streets downhill of the council water reservoir can carry high static pressure, which is hard on flexi hoses and relief valves, so we test and swap worn ones before a hose lets go.
Who looks after the sewer main outside my Ferny Hills boundary?
Unitywater maintains the public sewer and water mains, while the pipes on your side of the connection are yours, so a fault inside the property is an owner repair we can quote and fix.
Can stormwater from the slopes above flood my Ferny Hills block?
It can, because the suburb sits high in the catchments of Kedron Brook and Cabbage Tree Creek, so heavy runoff can push water back up the drains on the low corners of a street.
