Your Local Plumber in Coorparoo
Recovery Plumbing is a licensed plumbing team based on Brisbane’s southside. We look after homes, rentals and small businesses across Coorparoo every week. Whether it’s a hot water system that’s given up, a drain that won’t clear, or water pooling after a storm, we’ll find the cause and fix it properly the first time.
Coorparoo sits about 5km south-east of the Brisbane CBD. It borders Greenslopes, Stones Corner, Camp Hill, Norman Park and East Brisbane. It’s one of Brisbane’s most established suburbs, and its homes reflect that. Streets off Old Cleveland Road and Cavendish Road are lined with original Queenslanders and post-war homes. Around Coorparoo Square and the train station, newer apartments and townhouses have gone in over the last decade.
That mix creates some very local plumbing problems:
- Ageing pipework. Many older Coorparoo homes still run original galvanised water pipes and clay or cast iron sewer lines. These corrode, crack and leak with age.
- Tree root intrusion. Mature street trees and big backyard trees send roots into old clay drains, causing repeat blockages.
- Stormwater after heavy rain. Low-lying streets towards Norman Creek can struggle in a Brisbane summer storm, especially where downpipes run into undersized or blocked stormwater lines.
- Hot water systems past their use-by date. Many older systems are now well beyond their working life, and some don’t meet current compliance requirements.
- Renovation work. Raised and renovated Queenslanders often need new plumbing for downstairs bathrooms, laundries and kitchens.
We know these homes because we work in them. Every job starts with an honest assessment of what’s actually going on, not an upsell.

Plumbing Services in Coorparoo
Hot Water System Replacement & Repair No hot water, leaking tanks, tripping power or a system that’s simply too old? We repair and replace electric, gas, heat pump and solar hot water systems across Coorparoo. Urgent replacements can often be done on the same day. Every install is fitted to current compliance standards, including tempering valves.
Blocked Drains Slow sinks, gurgling toilets and sewer smells are usually signs of a blockage further down the line. In Coorparoo’s older homes, that’s often tree roots or a cracked clay pipe. We use CCTV drain cameras to find the real cause and high-pressure jetting to clear it. Learn more about blocked drains.
Stormwater Drainage If water pools in your yard or around the house after rain, your stormwater system isn’t coping. We design, repair and upgrade stormwater drainage, including pits, downpipe connections and sump pumps for low-lying blocks. Learn more about stormwater drainage.
