Repair or Replace on Older Stock
The first question on a Woody Point job is usually whether the old part is worth saving. Census figures put units and apartments at 33.9 per cent of dwellings here, and many cottages date from the 1940s to 1960s, so plenty of the plumbing inside has been repaired once already.
Galvanised supply pipe
Plenty of the older cottages still run their original galvanised supply line, which slowly narrows inside as scale builds, and the cast iron and asbestos cement street mains around them are the same age.
Ageing tanks
Cylinders in the unit blocks have been swapped once or twice already, and when one gives out it tends to show as a weeping casing, a seized valve or a thermostat that cuts out.
Salt air
Sea air off the bays eats brass, steel straps and bare copper, so fittings here retire younger than they would inland.
We give you an honest read on both paths, with flat-rate pricing and the figure you approve before any work starts.
What We Cover in Woody Point
The work splits across four services, each with its own page of detail:
- Emergency Plumbing: burst pipes, overflowing toilets, no hot water and gas leaks, any hour of the day.
- General Plumbing: taps, toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, hidden leaks and gas fitting.
- Drainage: blocked drains, sewer and stormwater clearing, and camera inspections.
- Hot Water: repairs and full replacements for tanks at the end of the road.

Drains on a Falling Headland
Streets drop from the Oxley Avenue ridge to the foreshore, so the drains run steep. That speed leaves no slack: anything that slows the flow, like a sag or a root mass, lets solids settle on the flatter stretches near the water.
Old mains
Under Georgina Street, Oxley Avenue and Kate Street, Unitywater's sewer is largely old clay pipe with asbestos cement alongside it, and the cottages joined on likely run earthenware branches whose joints have opened with age.
Roots
Council's heritage record notes big cottonwoods, figs and palms around the suburb, and roots that size head straight for an open earthenware joint.
Storm rain
Council's flood overlay lists Hawthorne Street at medium hazard, the storm tide layer takes in Donald Street and Short Street, and overland flow crosses Victoria Avenue. When storms push extra water through those old joints, wastewater can rise out of low gully traps.

Licensed and Insured
Locally owned and operated, licensed and insured, with flat-rate pricing.
Many households here are retirees, and a cold tank in winter gets treated as urgent, so we aim for same-day if we can. A split hose upstairs in a unit block sends water through the ceilings below, so that one comes straight away as an isolation job.

Questions From Woody Point
Call (07) 3067 4119Who looks after the pipes under my Woody Point street?
Unitywater looks after the sewer and water mains out in the street, and the pipes from your boundary inward are yours to maintain, which is exactly where our quote begins.
Should an old galvanised supply pipe in a Woody Point cottage be repaired or replaced?
A repair can buy time, but galvanised pipe narrows along its whole run as it furs up inside, so once flow keeps dropping we quote a full replacement, priced before work starts.
Does salt air off Bramble Bay wear out plumbing in Woody Point?
It does, because the headland faces open water on two sides, and salt spray corrodes brass fittings, tank casings and bare copper under older floors noticeably faster than suburbs inland from the bay.
Can a burst flexi hose in an upstairs Woody Point unit flood the flats below?
It can, and water travels through the ceiling fast, so we treat a split hose upstairs as an emergency call, with no call-out fees and no extra cost for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Do old earthenware drains near the Gayundah wreck cause repeat blockages?
They can, because the cottonwoods, figs and palms listed in Council's heritage record push roots into cracked earthenware joints, and a camera inspection pinpoints each entry point before we clear the line.
