Your First Moves in an Emergency
What to do first when something goes wrong:
- A burst or a leak you can't control: shut off the main valve at the water meter and call (07) 3524 7163.
- You can smell gas: turn the gas appliance off, open doors and windows, and don't flick any switch on or off. If the smell doesn't fade, close the gas at the meter or bottle, then call (07) 3524 7163. Call 000 if you can still smell it.
- Small leaks and dripping taps: these can wait for an appointment. Call (07) 3524 7163 to book.
We're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Gas Smells, Burst Pipes and Overflowing Toilets
Gas comes first, then uncontrolled water, then an unusable toilet: those are the jobs that need a plumber now. A gas odour inside, a burst pipe or a heavy leak, water or gas gone from every tap, and a toilet that has stopped working all qualify, and so does flooding.
Rentals add a rule. Queensland tenancy legislation spells out which repairs count as urgent, and a job missing from that list is routine.
One boundary question comes up around meters. Water pooling beside a meter that is not turning usually means the fault sits upstream, on Unitywater's side, so the utility is the right call there.
Dripping Taps Wait, Burst Pipes Do Not
One dripping tap will keep until a booked appointment; gas, sewage or water on the move will not, and the time of day changes nothing. Isolate first, then decide.
Phone straight away
a gas odour, sewage rising, or water that keeps coming.
Book an appointment
a tap that drips, a basin slow to drain, one fixture already isolated at its own valve.
Rentals
the tenant rings the emergency contact named on the agreement, and speaking to them is enough.
Our toilet repairs page covers the fixture work once the urgency has passed.
Meter Taps and Isolation Valves Explained
Match the shut-off to the fault: the isolation valve at one fixture, the stop tap on the water meter, or for gas, the valve on the meter or bottle.
Your gas bill also prints the emergency number for your supplier, top right, under the emergencies or leaking gas heading.
- 1
Try the fixture first
An isolation valve cuts one fixture off and keeps water flowing everywhere else.
- 2
Go to the meter if that fails
The stop tap on the water meter closes when you rotate it clockwise.
- 3
Check appliances first
Make sure nothing that needs water, the hot water unit included, will be harmed by shutting the whole supply.
- 4
Gas is different
Switch the appliance off and air the rooms out. If the odour lingers, close the supply if that is safe to reach.
- 5
Ring 000
if you can still smell gas once the supply is closed.

Who Repairs a Gas Leak, Broken Pipe or Drain
A licensed gasfitter handles anything to do with gas, and a QBCC licensee fixes burst pipework and clears a blocked sanitary drain. Both are classed as minor work in Queensland: a licence holder does them, and neither a council permit nor extra paperwork is required.
That matters when water is pouring through a ceiling, because nothing administrative delays the fix once you ring. The Form 4 is the paperwork a plumber files with the QBCC once notifiable work wraps up, and minor jobs never trigger one.
Your job is the valves; ours is the repair. Close them, contain what you can, and the licence holder handles the rest. For deeper detail on gas faults, our gas leak repairs page takes that topic further.
The Faults These Houses Tend To Hit
Houses from the suburb's first 1970s subdivisions still carry their wastewater in earthenware pipes, and age has loosened the joints. Once a joint cracks or slips, silt and fine roots work their way in, and the drain silts up gradually rather than failing in one go.
Census figures put 42.8 per cent of the suburb's dwellings on a mortgage and 27.3 per cent owned outright, so the person at the door usually owns the pipes beneath it.
The oldest of those drains run near the John Bray Park corridor along Four Mile Creek, and a failure there after dark makes the shut-off and the phone the two tools that matter. Our burst pipe repairs page covers what the fix involves, and leak detection handles the hidden ones.

Urgent Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3524 7163What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Gas, uncontrolled water and a toilet the household cannot use. A burst pipe, a supply that has failed, sewage indoors or flooding all qualify. For rentals, Queensland tenancy law lists the urgent repairs, and whatever it omits is routine.
Should I call a plumber now or wait until morning?
Isolate the fault first, then judge it. A dripping tap or slow basin can wait for an appointment. Gas, sewage or water still moving means phone now, morning or not.
Where is the main water shut-off at my Bray Park home?
At the water meter, in a lidded box at ground level near the front boundary; rotate the tap clockwise to close it. Each fixture has its own valve too. Check that no appliance depends on that supply before you shut the meter tap.
Who do I call for a burst pipe at the water meter?
Everything past the meter belongs to you, so that side is licensed-plumber territory. The pipe upstream of the meter is normally the utility's. With Unitywater, a motionless meter over wet ground suggests their side, and one still ticking suggests yours.
Who can repair a gas leak?
Gas work is for licensed gasfitters only, and it covers the repair, the testing and the certification. Close the gas supply first if that is safe to do, then bring in the licence holder.
