Plumbing Fixes for Post-War Homes in Leichhardt, Ipswich
It's a Sunday arvo in Leichhardt and the toilet won't stop running. Jiggling the button helps for a minute, then the hiss starts again and the water bill keeps ticking over. Lift the cistern lid and you'll often find a perished washer, a sticking inlet valve or a flush seal that's given up after twenty-odd years of daily use. It's a small job, but worth fixing quickly.
Leichhardt sits on the western side of Ipswich, between One Mile and the CBD fringe, and a big share of its houses are post-war lowsets and former Housing Commission homes from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Many still run on original galvanised water pipes that rust from the inside, which drops pressure at the shower and can turn the first splash of water brown. Older clay sewer lines are common too, and the reactive soil across the area shrinks and swells with the seasons, opening up joints that tree roots love to find.
Fallon Solutions sends experienced plumbers to Leichhardt every week. Our Ipswich-based plumbing crew repairs cisterns, swaps out tired galvanised lines for modern pipe and clears tree roots from sewer connections, explaining each step as we go.

Our Comprehensive Leichhardt Plumbing Services
Most of the call-outs we get in Leichhardt come back to the age of the homes: worn toilet parts, corroded supply pipes and sewer lines that roots have found. Below are the plumbing jobs we handle there most often. We can bundle a few together so you're not booking separate visits for each small fault. Older homes often have two or three issues hiding at once.
- Toilet Plumbing: Fixing running cisterns, leaking pans and loose seats, or fitting a new water-saving toilet suite.
- Maintenance Plumbing: Replacing rusted galvanised pipe, dripping taps and worn valves in older post-war homes.
- Blocked Drains: Clearing roots, wipes and grease from sewer lines with high-pressure water jetting.
- Pipe Relining: Sealing cracked clay pipes from the inside so the yard and driveway stay intact.
- Emergency Plumber: Day or night help for a burst pipe, an overflowing sewer gully or a suspected gas leak.
Why Choose Fallon Solutions as Your Leichhardt Plumbing Tradie?
A toilet that won't stop filling usually can't wait until next week, so we offer same-day service to Leichhardt homes whenever the schedule has room. Your plumber phones before arriving, turns up on time and wears shoe covers inside. We find the fault, explain it in plain words and give you an upfront, fixed price before touching a tool. Once the repair is done, old parts go in the van and the bathroom is left clean. If we notice other worn parts, we'll mention them so you can decide later.
Every member of our plumbing crew is QBCC licensed, and a gas fitter can check a gas hot water system or cooktop on the same trip. With CCTV drain cameras, jetters and acoustic leak detection equipment on board, we can tell whether a slow drain is a simple blockage or a cracked pipe under the slab. Leichhardt is one of the many suburbs looked after by our Ipswich plumbers, and you can browse the full list of residential plumbing services on our site. If you need a Leichhardt plumber, dial 1300 054 488 or fill out a quick enquiry and we'll lock in a time.
