Burst Pipes
A split pipe dumps mains pressure into a wall cavity or under a slab, and homes from the late-1960s subdivision era carry fittings decades old. Shut the meter and call.

When It Can't Wait
Work out which of the four you're facing, because each one has its own first move. These are the pages to read while you're on the phone:
Water pouring where it shouldn't
read burst pipes and shut the meter off first.
A toilet overflowing onto the floor
read toilet overflowing and stop everyone flushing.
Hot water gone cold
read no hot water before you touch the tank.
Any smell of gas
read gas leaks, leave the house and call from outside.
Got a plumbing problem right now? Do this before you call:
- Water you can't turn off: turn the supply off at the water meter, then call (07) 3523 6428.
- You can smell gas: get out of the property and phone from outside. Avoid switches, sparks and naked flames.
- A minor drip or a slow drain: it can wait for a booked appointment. Call (07) 3523 6428 and we'll book you in.
- Out of hours: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no extra cost for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Streets That Go Under First
The flood overlay doubles as a map of our busiest storm call-outs. Council mapping rates parts of Anzac Avenue and Duffield Road as medium or high flood hazard, with the same classes on Goodfellows Road and Old Gympie Road, and a burst pipe or blocked drain does damage fastest on those lots.
The 2022 flood
Parliament's record of that event names this suburb among those that copped localised flooding, and Roseann Street earned a specific mention in it. The houses that went under then are the ones worth checking hardest after every big rain.
Sewer surcharge
The same event pushed sewage into a house just over the boundary in Murrumba Downs. On a low lot, the overflow relief gully is the first outlet to give once the main is saturated, so water rising at that gully is a call-now problem.
The Four Emergency Jobs
Each of these has its own page spelling out the opening moves. Here's what each one is and when it lands on a local doorstep.
Toilet Overflowing
Sewage on a bathroom floor is a health risk, not a cleaning job, and the usual cause is a blockage downstream holding the bowl from clearing. Stop everyone flushing and read the page.
No Hot Water
A cold tank is usually a failed element or thermostat, and plenty of tanks here run on a Queensland controlled-load circuit, Tariff 31 or 33, which only heats during the off-peak window.
Gas Leaks
A gas smell is the one emergency you handle from outside: don't hunt for the source, don't flick switches. Leave, call from the street, and let a licensed gasfitter find it.

What Counts as an Emergency
Not every plumbing problem needs the urgent treatment, and knowing the difference saves you money and keeps the emergency runs free for the people who need them. The test is simple: is it damaging the house, is it unsafe, or is it going to get much worse by tomorrow?
It's an emergency if:
- Water or sewage is entering the house and you can't stop it.
- There's any smell of gas, inside or out.
- A pipe has split and the meter shut-off hasn't stopped the flow to a fixture.
- The hot water system is leaking from the tank itself, or its safety valve is running hard.
It can usually wait for a booked visit if it's a dripping tap, a slow drain, a running cistern or a niggling leak under the sink. Those are general plumbing jobs, and booking them in keeps our urgent runs clear.
Make-safe steps worth knowing before anything goes wrong:
- Find your water meter now, not at 2am with water on the floor, and check the tap turns.
- Know where the gas isolation is if you have gas at the property.
- Know where the hot water system's isolation taps sit, so a tank fault can be cut off from the rest of the house.
Storm Season and Cold Mornings
Storm season
From November through March, thunderstorms are a weekly risk here, and around 1,130 millimetres falls in a typical year. A drain that's marginal in dry weather fails in the first decent storm.
Cold mornings
June and July are the chilliest stretch of the south-east Queensland year, and a tired hot water system shows up on the first genuinely cold one. That's our busiest run of tank call-outs, so ring early in the day.
Late trade
Norths Leagues and the tavern both keep late hours on the Anzac Avenue strip, so a blocked main drain at either venue is an overnight job, not a morning one. Urgency is about the damage, not the clock.

Emergency Questions From Kallangur
Call (07) 3523 6428What counts as a plumbing emergency in Kallangur?
Water you can't shut off, sewage inside the house, a tank gone cold with the whole household wanting showers, or any smell of gas; if it's damaging property or unsafe, treat it as an emergency.
Should I turn the water off at the meter before calling?
Yes, if water is running where it shouldn't, shut it down at the meter first, then ring us; stopping the flow saves your place from more damage while help is on the way.
Who owns the water main out in my Kallangur street?
Unitywater handles the mains and sewers under the street, while any pipe past the connection point is the owner's, so repairs within your property are yours to organise.
My yard drain is backing up after heavy rain. Is that urgent?
If stormwater is ponding against the slab or creeping toward the house, yes, because the council's overlay sends overland flow across sections of this suburb, loading drains on nearby lots.
Can I check a suspected gas leak myself?
No, never go looking for a gas leak; leave the property, don't flick switches or light flames, and call us from outside so a licensed gasfitter handles everything from there.
How do I book a plumber in Kallangur?
Ring (07) 3523 6428, tell us what's happening and where in Kallangur, and we'll talk you through the make-safe steps while a plumber gets moving; the fixed quote comes before any work starts.
