Quick first steps for a plumbing emergency:
- Water flooding out: turn the water off at the meter before anything else, then ring (07) 3524 7163.
- A gas odour: turn off whatever appliance runs on gas, air the room through doors and windows, and keep away from electrical switches. Still smell it? Shut the supply at the meter or cylinder and phone (07) 3524 7163, or 000 if the smell won't go.
- Drips, slow leaks and running cisterns: book a visit rather than treating it as urgent. Ring (07) 3524 7163 and we'll find a time.
We're available 24/7, and there's no extra cost for nights, weekends or public holidays.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency
Four faults will not keep: a gas smell or leak, a burst pipe or serious supply leak, no water or no gas at the taps, and an unusable toilet. Each one puts the house, your health or the supply itself at risk the longer it runs.
Rentals follow a set list. Queensland tenancy law sets out the emergency repairs, and anything not on it is a routine repair.
Water pooled in the meter box is its own case. Soggy ground around a still meter tells you the leak sits upstream on the utility's side of the supply, so that report goes to the water utility rather than to us.
Dripping Taps Wait, Burst Pipes Do Not
A problem you can contain to one fixture and that is not spreading can hold until a scheduled visit. Gas, sewage rising or water that keeps coming cannot, no matter the hour. Contain first, then decide.

the list in the tenancy law settles which is which.
The low ground near Cabbage Tree Creek shows why the split matters. After a storm, one yard off Medallion Place near Pat Rafter Park can sit under water while the higher ground a street away drains freely. A flooded yard with water still flowing needs the phone, and Carseldine Plumbing Services treats it that way.
What to Shut Off First
Start with the shut-off closest to the fault: the small valve at the fixture, or the meter's stop tap for water, and the gas meter or LPG bottle for gas.
The supplier's emergency number is printed in the top right-hand corner of your gas bill, under the emergency headings, if you need the supplier rather than a gasfitter.
- 1
Try the fixture valve first
Many fixtures have a small tap on the supply line that stops water to that one outlet and keeps the other taps running.
- 2
Go to the meter if no valve fits, or the leak is bigger than one fixture
The meter sits flush with the ground in a small box on the verge beside the road. The stop tap turns clockwise to close.

Check the appliances before shutting the meter tap
Make sure cutting the water will not hurt an appliance, like the hot water unit.

For gas, switch the appliance off and air the place out
If the smell lingers, close the supply at the gas meter or the LPG bottle if it is safe to get to, and call 000 once the supply is off and the smell stays.

Who Repairs a Gas Leak, Broken Pipe or Drain
A licensed gasfitter handles anything gas, and a QBCC licensee repairs the damaged pipe and unblocks the sanitary drain. Both fall under minor work in Queensland, needing neither permit paperwork nor a Form 4, so nothing official delays the repair.
You handle the valves and the mopping; the repair belongs to the licensee. Carseldine Plumbing Services handles burst pipe repairs across the suburb, and the gas side has its own page on gas leak repairs. A toilet that has failed entirely gets its own coverage under toilet repairs.

Emergency Plumbing Questions Answered
Call (07) 3524 7163Should I call a plumber now or wait until morning?
Shut the fault down at a valve first, then decide. If the problem sits at one fixture and is not spreading, like a dripping spout or a slow basin, morning is fine. Gas, sewage or water that keeps coming needs the phone straight away.
Who do I call for a burst pipe at the water meter?
Everything downstream of the meter is the owner's, so that side needs a licensed plumber. The pipe between the main and the meter typically belongs to Urban Utilities. Soggy ground with a still meter points to the utility; a meter ticking over means the leak is yours.
Can I fix a burst pipe myself in an emergency?
No, the repair is not yours to do. Fixing a damaged pipe is minor work under Queensland law, and only a licensee may carry it out. You close the valves and contain the water; the repair belongs to the licensed plumber.
As a tenant, who do I call for a plumbing emergency?
Your tenancy agreement names an emergency contact, and that is who to ring as soon as you know about the problem. Telling them by phone counts. The list in the tenancy law settles which repairs are emergencies.
What if the whole street in Carseldine has no water?
An outage across the whole street is the utility's problem, so report it there. If only your home has gone dry, look at the meter tap and the owner's pipes running from the meter to the fixtures.
