Hot Water in an Old Garden Suburb
Third tank on the block
The 1952 subdivision and the building rush of the 1960s and 1970s filled Aspley with rows of single-level brick houses, and those homes have worked through a few tanks already. The units fitted in the early 2000s, bolted to an outside wall, are the ones rusting through now.
Old steel behind the plaster
Some of the earliest homes never had their supply lines renewed, so rusted steel pipe still feeds the tank, its narrowed bore slowing the flow and tinting what reaches the unit.
Low ground by the creeks
Cabbage Tree Creek runs across the flat middle of the suburb, and the council's flood mapping spreads widest on those flats, so a ground tank goes on a raised, level pad. Thunderstorms hammer the suburb through the warmer months, and hail and heavy rain wear on any unit standing in the open.
Room for a bigger tank
At the last census, 72.1 per cent of homes here were detached houses and 39.4 per cent had at least four bedrooms, so the usual job is a tank or heat pump out on the side wall of a house, sized to the household.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Do many Aspley homes still run old storage tanks?
Plenty do, because the houses built through the 1960s and 1970s have been through several units already, and the tanks swapped in around the early 2000s are the ones now failing.
Does creek flood mapping change where my tank goes?
It can, because the council maps creek flood planning across the flats beside both waterways, so we read that mapping before siting a ground tank and lift the pad above it.
Can old galvanised pipe in an Aspley house affect hot water?
It can, because an original steel service line that was never swapped out chokes flow and tints the water at the tap, and we always check the supply before blaming the unit.
Is a heat pump a sensible swap for a tank here?
Records across the 4034 postcode list 1,550 heat pump installs, so plenty of locals have already made that change, and we size the unit to your household during the quote.
Who supplies the water and power for hot water in Aspley?
Urban Utilities supplies the water and Energex the power, so an off-peak tank keeps its heating window, and McDowall Same Day Hot Water tests both sides when a repair touches the supply at the meter.
