Blocked Sinks
Food scraps and grease coat the trap and the line below it until the bowl stands full; we clear it, flush the line and show you the water running free.

What Falls Under Kitchen Plumbing
A kitchen packs more plumbing into two square metres than any other room: supply to the tap, waste from the sink, a dishwasher feed and drain, and an isolation point nobody has turned in years.
Kitchen Pipes in Old Mitchelton
Galvanised under the floor
The pre-1947 Queenslanders and cottages around Nicholson Street went in before copper was standard, and unrenovated ones can still run steel supply pipe that rusts from the inside. A kitchen tap there can deliver low flow or rusty water before any fitting is at fault.
Hoses stacked in the units
In the units, the blocks dotted around the suburb mean several kitchens share flexi hoses and isolation valves, so one badly made hose that lets go can affect the neighbours on either side.
Fat at the bends
Shared lines near the Blackwood Street cafe strip run heavy with grease from many kitchens, and homes closest to it can see fat build-ups show at their own fittings first. If yours is one of them, our blocked drains page covers the clearing side.
Kitchen Jobs We Take On
Most kitchen jobs fit into six buckets, and bundling them into one visit saves a second call-out on the same afternoon, so here is what we cover from the cupboard floor to the spout:
Leaking Sink Drains
A weeping slip joint or a perished washer under the bowl drips into the cupboard and swells the shelf; we replace the parts, test the seal and dry the cabinet out.
Dishwasher Connections
A new dishwasher needs its water feed and drain hose set correctly; we connect the inlet, secure the discharge above the trap and run a cycle to confirm nothing leaks.
Tap and Mixer Repairs
A dripping spout, a stiff handle or a mixer losing its stream usually comes down to one worn part; we replace the cartridge, washer or valve and stop the drip.
Waste and Trap Fittings
The S bend under the sink catches everything you rinse down; we replace corroded traps, refit leaking connections and install new waste outlets when the old ones have given up.
Isolation Valves
Every kitchen needs a tap that shuts the water off at the sink, and Mitchelton Plumber fits or frees stuck mini stoppers under the sink so the next leak waits for nobody.

Common Kitchen Problems
Water Under the Sink
A wet cupboard floor usually traces to a slipped waste connection or a weeping inlet hose; caught early it is a quick fix, and we dry the cabinet out afterwards.
Gurgling or Slow Drains
Air trapped behind a partial blockage makes the sink gurgle long before it stops flowing; a cleared line fixes the noise and the flow, and we show you before finishing.
Dishwasher Not Draining
Standing water in the machine points to a kinked or grease-plugged drain hose more often than the dishwasher itself; we clear the hose and confirm the pump empties the tub.
Low Flow at the Tap
One weak tap while the others run fine means a blocked aerator or a failing flexi hose; we clean or replace it and restore full pressure at the kitchen sink.
Why Kitchen Leaks Matter
A kitchen leak never stays in the kitchen, and the three points below are why we treat even a small drip under the sink as worth a proper look today:
Cupboards swell quietly
Water from a weeping waste joint soaks into chipboard shelves and stays damp for months. By the time the smell shows up, the cabinet base is often beyond saving.
Mould follows the moisture
A slow drip keeps the underside of the bench and the wall behind it wet. That is exactly the damp patch mould needs to take hold.
Bills creep upward
A leaking mixer or a failing inlet hose wastes hot water around the clock. Fixing it usually costs less than a quarter of what it drips away.

Kitchen Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4119Why does my kitchen tap in Mitchelton run rusty water?
Unrenovated pre-1947 homes near Keylar Street can still carry galvanised supply line, and rust inside it colours the water, so we check the supply line to the tap before blaming the fitting.
Does Urban Utilities fix a leaking kitchen pipe?
No, the street mains belong to Urban Utilities, while the sink and dishwasher pipes inside your boundary are yours to maintain, so those repairs fall to us to handle.
Can grease from my kitchen really block the drain in Mitchelton?
It can, because fat and oil coat the line and harden at the bends, and shared mains near the cafe strip already run heavy with fat from the food outlets there.
Do you replace flexi hoses in unit kitchens?
Yes, we replace braided hoses, inlet valves and isolation points in unit kitchens, and we fit rated gear so one failed hose does not flood the neighbours below.
Is a leaking kitchen tap an emergency?
Usually not, since a dripping mixer can wait for a booked visit, but if water is spreading or the isolation point is stuck, call us and we are available 24/7, any hour.
