Tanks In Strata Blocks And Old Timber Houses
Built in two waves
The estate blocks sold between 1900 and 1913 set the street pattern, and apartments have since replaced many Queenslanders along the two main roads. At the last census flats and apartments outnumbered houses, 57.8 per cent to 40.4.
A patchwork of tank ages
Units replaced houses over successive decades, so strata blocks hold cylinders from many building eras, some tucked into ceiling voids, others in laundry cupboards, while the remaining weatherboard houses carry theirs on a wall or beneath the floor.
Rust below the boards
An original timber home that was never re-plumbed still feeds its taps through ageing steel pipe hidden under the floor, and that pipe furs up inside until the bathroom and kitchen barely trickle.
Low streets, known water
The January 2011 floodwater covered Moorlands Park and the neighbouring Dunmore Park, and council maps place Dixon Street inside the flood extents. Knowing where the isolation valve sits is worth more than any repair.
Paddington Same Day Hot Water plans every job around which of those settings it lands in.
What We Fix And Fit Around Here
Whatever the system is doing, the job starts on one of these pages:
- Hot Water Repairs: elements, thermostats and valves in cylinders hidden above ceilings or inside laundry cupboards.
- No Hot Water: the safe first checks when a unit in a shared block runs cold.
- Hot Water Replacement: an honest call when an ageing cylinder is past saving.
- Hot Water Installation: a renovation, a relocation or a first system.
- Gas Hot Water: storage tanks and continuous flow units, bottled gas included.
- Electric Hot Water: storage tanks, including units heating overnight on a controlled supply.
Every one of those jobs is priced in full before a tool comes out, and Paddington Same Day Hot Water brings what the system needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1736What should I do first when a tank fails inside an Auchenflower apartment?
Close the isolation valve if you can find it, because water from a split tank fills the cupboard and spreads under the door, then ring us and we will guide you through the rest.
Does Urban Utilities need to know about a tank swap here?
Only as the network owner, because Urban Utilities owns the mains and the meter out in the street while the tank itself and its pipework are our side of the job, so the swap is ours to do.
Can you fix a tank in Auchenflower that heats overnight on a controlled supply?
We can, since Energex runs the tariff connection while the element, thermostat and valves are ours to repair, so overnight heating keeps working and nothing about the supply changes.
Why has hot water pressure dropped in our old Auchenflower Queenslander?
Probably the original steel supply lines below the boards, which corrode internally and starve the taps well ahead of any visible leak, so we check those pipes when quoting.
Do homes on the flood-mapped flats near the river need anything before storm season?
Yes, know where the isolation valve sits, because the low streets beside Lang Parade take water first when the river rises, and a closed valve stops the tank adding to it.
How do I book a tank replacement in Auchenflower?
Ring (07) 3523 1736 or send the form with what the system is, when it went in and where it lives, and Paddington Same Day Hot Water will arrange a time and quote the whole job.
