General Plumber in Thornlands

Need a plumber in Thornlands for a leak, a blocked drain, hot water or a new fixture? Jim Monger Plumbing and Gas is a licensed, family-run plumber and gasfitter based at Victoria Point, with Thornlands in our service area. For homeowners, landlords and property managers here, the first question is what kind of block it is: Council describes a mix of established neighbourhoods, newer estates and rural-residential properties, so two nearby homes may need different questions and different fixes. This page sets out what to check on your block before you spend money, and when it is time to call us.

Council describes the Thornlands catchment as mainly urban housing in its northern half, with park residential lots, horticulture, horse stables and lifestyle blocks across its southern half. That describes land use across a catchment, not your address, so start with your own block: town water or a tank, sewer or an on-site system.

Council adopted the South-east Thornlands Structure Plan in March 2010, when most land between the Pinklands Sporting Reserve and Eprapah Creek was rural residential and open space. In that part of Thornlands, a newer home may sit near rural-residential land, and the address alone will not tell you what either connects to. Council says some Thornlands properties run on-site wastewater or water tanks, which may not operate during extended power outages, so an outage can look like a plumbing fault. A 2016 Redland Water plan says rural land in the supply zone taking in Kinross Road is not all connected to the water supply, so do not assume town water there. Unsure which applies, sewer or on-site, meter or tank? See the checks below, or just call.

A 2010 report for Council described the Eprapah Creek, Pinklands Reserve and Thornlands Creek corridors in South East Thornlands as flood prone, with flat topography in the north-west. The area has changed since, but on flat ground there, ask about levels before agreeing to a gravity stormwater drain, because flat ground leaves little fall. Council lists properties along Beveridge Road among places Eprapah Creek flooding may affect. A yard drain will not answer a creek flood, so along Beveridge Road check Council’s current creek flood map, which omits overland flow, before paying for drainage. Council describes minor waterways flowing east from Panorama Drive, so a block east of it may take run-off from higher land. Before a seepage trench or pump-out line goes in there, ask where the water will end up, because Council requires a lawful point of discharge.

Redlands Coast Today reported in July 2026 that works had started on Kinross Road between Boundary Road and East Ridge Street, with completion expected in 2027. If your property is on that stretch, mention the works when you book, because access may be affected, and we do not promise arrival times. It also reported in May 2025 that Council planned a new sewer main between Enterprise Street and Lorikeet Drive, expected by early 2026. That date has now passed and we cannot confirm the work is finished, so take questions about works on that route to Council on (07) 3829 8999, as the project is Council’s.

Council lists a water tanker filling station at 226 Cleveland-Redland Bay Road, so a carrier may have somewhere nearby to load when a tank runs low. On a Thornlands tank block, if the level drops faster than your household explains, rule out a leak or pump fault before ordering another load. We offer leak detection and rainwater tank services.
