Get a Fast QuoteWhy Newstead’s Plumbing Needs Are Unique
Newstead’s mix of modern apartments and commercial spaces comes with specific plumbing challenges. High-rise buildings along the riverwalk often have boosted pressure systems and central hot water setups. Restaurants and cafes near Gasworks Plaza deal with grease traps and trade waste systems that need regular maintenance. Plus, the area’s riverfront location means basement flood pumps are critical during heavy rain or river surges.
For example, we recently helped a strata committee on Breakfast Creek Road fix a backflow valve that failed council testing. We replaced the RPZ valve and got the building compliant in one visit. Our team knows Newstead’s infrastructure and works efficiently, even in tight loading docks.
Common Plumbing Issues in Newstead
Newstead’s urban setup leads to some frequent plumbing problems. Here’s what we fix regularly:
- Grease trap blockages in restaurants and cafes
- Backflow valve failures needing urgent repairs
- Basement flood pump malfunctions after heavy rain
- Hot water recirculation issues in high-rise apartments
- Blocked kitchen or bathroom drains from heavy use
- Leaky taps or showerheads in modern units
- Pressure fluctuations in boosted systems
Hot Water Systems for Newstead Apartments
Many Newstead apartments rely on central hot water systems, which can be tricky to maintain. Whether you’re in a high-rise on Longland Street or a mid-rise near the riverwalk, we handle installations, repairs, and replacements for gas, electric, and heat pump systems. If your hot water’s inconsistent, we’ll check the recirculation balance and fix it fast.
We once repaired a central gas system for a building off Ann Street. The issue was a faulty valve causing uneven temperatures. We replaced it and balanced the system, so every apartment got steady hot water again. We also offer emergency repairs if your system fails overnight.
Blocked Drains Solutions in Newstead
Blocked drains are a big issue in Newstead, especially for businesses near Gasworks Plaza. Grease traps in cafes and restaurants often clog from food waste, while apartment drains get blocked by hair or debris. We use high-pressure jet blasters and CCTV cameras to clear and diagnose issues without disrupting your day.
For instance, a restaurant on Commercial Road had a grease trap backup that was slowing their kitchen. We cleaned it out, checked the drain lines with a camera, and set up a maintenance plan to keep it clear. Regular grease trap servicing every 3-6 months prevents these headaches.
Backflow Prevention and Testing
Newstead’s commercial and multi residential buildings need backflow prevention devices to protect the water supply. These RPZ valves require annual testing to meet council rules. We’re certified to test, repair, and install backflow systems, keeping your building compliant and safe.

We help Newstead homes and businesses keep water safe and steady all year. Call us for hot water system repairs, grease trap maintenance, backflow testing, basement flood pumps, blocked drains, gas fitting, and full bathroom renovations or kitchen upgrades.

Basement Flood Pump Maintenance
Newstead’s riverfront location makes basement flood pumps critical for many buildings. These pumps prevent flooding during heavy rain or river surges, but they need regular checks to work properly. We service and repair flood pumps, ensuring they’re ready when you need them.
We recently serviced a pump for a building near Breakfast Creek Road that was struggling after a storm. A quick clean and recalibration got it running smoothly, protecting the basement from future floods. Annual servicing is the best way to avoid surprises.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!
-
Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
-
