Local knowledge
Lawnton plumbing, an old settlement between two rivers
Lawnton is one of the district's older settlements, named for a blacksmith and growing around its railway station from the 1880s. The housing is mostly established: timber and post-war brick on the original blocks, with unit complexes and townhouses filling in near the station and along Gympie Road. About 6,000 people live here.
The two rivers and Four Mile Creek bound the suburb, so the low streets near them take the stormwater first in a wet summer. Older homes carry galvanised pipe and earthenware drains under mature gardens, and the established electric hot water tanks are reaching replacement age.

Taps and fixturesThe calls we get most from Lawnton
Hot water tanks at end of life
Established homes on their second or third electric tank. A leaking base means replacement, and a heat pump is compared.
Roots in the old streets
Earthenware drains under mature gardens. The camera shows the damage and whether relining is the fix.
Stormwater near the rivers
Silted lines and blocked pits on the low streets pool water in a storm. A clear before summer prevents it.
Low pressure in galvanised pipe
Old steel pipe narrows inside. Replacing the run from the meter restores the flow.

Questions answered
Do you cover Lawnton?
Yes. It is on our Pine Rivers run between Kallangur and Strathpine.
Why does my Lawnton home have low water pressure?
Galvanised steel pipe from the meter narrows inside over decades. Replacing that run restores the flow.
Do you clear stormwater on the streets near the river?
Yes. Pits, downpipes and underground lines are cleared with the jetter and camera, ideally before the storm season.
