What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
A gas smell comes first, then a burst pipe or a serious leak, a failed water or gas supply, and a blocked or broken toilet. None of those can sit until a booked appointment.
Queensland tenancy law keeps a separate list for rentals: a gas leak, a burst water service, flooding, a toilet that will not work, and any essential supply that stops. Anything the law leaves off counts as routine, so a dripping tap in a tenanted house is a booked job, not a 2am one.
One fault sits on the far side of the boundary: a leak inside the meter box, or spongy ground around it while the meter holds still, belongs to Urban Utilities. Report that one to the utility, not to us.
A cistern that keeps running has its own page on toilet repairs, and a hidden leak with no obvious source belongs on our leak detection page.
Stop the Damage First
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) 3523 6484.
- 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) 3523 6484. Call 000 if you can still smell it.
- Small leaks and dripping taps: these can wait for an appointment. Call (07) 3523 6484 to book.
We're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Night, Weekend and Public Holiday Calls
An isolated fault can hold for a booked appointment; a gas smell, sewage backing up, or water rising past containment cannot, whatever the hour. Close what you can at the nearest valve, then weigh the job against the clock.
One dripping tap, one basin draining slowly, a cistern that needs a new washer: all of it holds until a booked appointment.
Renters get a shorter path: the tenancy law's list decides, and a fault on that list goes to the emergency contact named in the agreement as soon as you know about it. Owners answer to damage instead, and a wet ceiling does not care what day the calendar says.
Meter Taps and Isolation Valves Explained
Start small: the isolation valve at one fixture, or the stop tap at your water meter, and for gas the supply at its meter or bottle. Work through these in order:
The isolation valve
One small valve at a fixture or appliance shuts its water and keeps the rest of the house supplied.
The stop tap
The stop tap at your water meter closes clockwise, and the meter sits in a shallow below-ground box in the strip between the street and the boundary.
The appliance check
Before you shut the meter tap, make sure nothing in the house needs the water still flowing, the water heater in particular.
The gas supply
Switch the gas appliance off and let fresh air through the house first. If the smell holds, shut the gas off at its meter or bottle, where safe.
Call 000 if the smell still has not gone. Your gas bill carries the supplier's emergency number, top right, under 'emergencies' or 'leaking gas'.
Emergency Repairs That Need a Licensed Plumber
A licensed gasfitter does all gas work; on the wet side, a QBCC licensee mends broken pipes and clears sanitary drains, both minor work. Minor work needs neither a permit nor a Form 4, so no approval sits between the call and the repair.
A Form 4 is the notice a licensed plumber lodges with the QBCC after notifiable work, and none applies here. Your part is the valves; the repair, the testing and any paperwork stay with the licensee.
For a split supply line, our burst pipe repairs page sets out what the fix involves, and gas leak repairs covers the gas side in depth.
Who Rings Us at Night
The suburb runs from tram-era weatherboards to this decade's apartment blocks, and the late calls split along that line. Census figures put flats and apartments at 30 per cent of homes, and the newer blocks carry braided hoses under basins and behind toilets by the dozen.
One split hose upstairs can wet the ceiling of the unit below, which makes it a call-now job rather than a Monday one.
Plenty of houses here are rented, so the tenancy list sets their urgency. Owners read the clock differently: at the last census, 18.8 per cent of homes were owned outright and 35.7 per cent carried a mortgage, so most night callers are watching their own ceilings. That mix of old pipes, new hoses and tenanted houses is how Kedron Same Day Plumbing reads a 2am call.

Urgent Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3523 6484Should I call a plumber now or wait until morning?
Isolate first, then decide. A fault you have shut off and contained, like one dripping tap or a slow basin, can hold until a booked appointment. Ring us straight away for a gas smell, sewage backing up, or water rising with no way to stop it.
Where is the main water shut-off at my Kedron home?
At the water meter, in a small box flush with the ground between the road and your boundary. Its stop tap turns clockwise to close. Each fixture has an isolation valve as well, and you should check nothing, the water heater included, still needs that supply before you shut the meter.
Does an emergency repair need a permit?
No, a permit is not needed. Mending a broken pipe and clearing a blocked sanitary drain both count as minor work, which a QBCC licensee does without a permit or a Form 4. The licence is the requirement, not an approval.
Who do I ring if the leak is at the water meter?
Report that one to Urban Utilities. Water pooling in the meter box, or soaked earth beside it while the dial stays still, sits on the utility's side of the boundary. Soggy patches with the meter ticking over point to your side instead, and that is when a licensed plumber should investigate.
Who can legally repair a gas leak?
Only a licensed gasfitter. Queensland reserves gas work for licensed gasfitters, covering every repair, test and compliance certificate on a gas system. Shut the supply off first, air the house out, and call 000 if the smell holds after the gas is off.
