Burst Pipes
Split supply lines and burst braided hoses, shut down and repaired fast. The old copper runs near Gympie Road fail in pairs, so we always check the rest before leaving.

When to Ring Us
Work out which page fits what is happening at your place, because the right call saves water and money:
Water you cannot stop
a split pipe or a burst flexi hose. Start with burst pipes and turn the water off at the meter.
Water going where it should not
a toilet filling the bowl or spilling over the floor trap. See toilet overflowing and stop the cistern inlet tap first.
No hot water tonight
a tank that has died or a pilot that will not hold. Go to no hot water before you drain anything.
A smell of gas
leave the property and read gas leaks from outside, then call us from the footpath.
Something Going Wrong Right Now? Do This First
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) 3067 4272.
- 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) 3067 4272 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.
Why Nights Get Busy Here
The housing is three generations old
The wartime camp and airfield of the 1940s gave way to developer estates from the 1960s, and Spitfire Avenue still carries the airfield's name.
The plumbing shows that age
Braided flexi hoses fitted during a long-ago kitchen update fail without warning under sinks, and the supply lines laid in those first estates are well past their prime.
So the failures are sudden
Renovations here happened in stages around ageing pipes, and when one lets go at 9pm the job cannot wait for business hours.
The Four Emergency Jobs
These are the four after-hours calls we take most, and each page opens with the make-safe steps first:
Toilet Overflowing
A cistern that will not shut off or a bowl backing up towards the floor. Townhouses near the station share drains, so an overflow can touch more than one home.
No Hot Water
A tank corroded through or a unit that will not fire. Most houses here have replaced their system two or three times, and cold snaps make a dead tank urgent.
Gas Leaks
A gas smell inside or near the building. Never hunt for the leak yourself: leave, call from outside, and let a licensed gas fitter find it under QBCC No: 15024607.

What Counts as an Emergency
Not every plumbing problem needs a late call-out, and we will tell you honestly if yours can wait. These cannot:
- Water running where you cannot shut it off at the meter or an isolation tap.
- Any smell of gas, inside or out, at any hour.
- Sewage pooling or spreading inside the house.
- A full loss of water or hot water in a home with kids, elderly residents or medical needs.
- A toilet or drain that is actively backing up and cannot be isolated.
If you are unsure, ring and describe it. We would rather take a call that turns out to be a booked job than have you stand in a wet hallway until morning.
Make yourself safe while help is coming. Three isolation steps stop most emergencies getting worse:
At the water meter
the shut-off valve sits at the meter box, usually near the front boundary. Turn it off and the house stops filling.
At the hot water system
every tank has an isolation valve on the cold inlet. Close it to stop a leaking tank draining through the ceiling or the yard.
At the gas meter
know where yours is before you need it. If you smell gas, do not touch switches on the way out, just leave and call from outside.
The Wet Season Loads Every Drain
The rain comes down hard here
Records put average annual rainfall around 1,093 mm, and most of it arrives in the storm months, working every driveway pit and downpipe near the creek line.
The ground never dries between storms
River-terrace soil holds water for long stretches, so buried joints sit wet through the whole season, and a pipe holding in winter can weep once the water table climbs.
Half-blocked drains fail first
Drains that back up in a storm here were often struggling before the rain arrived. If a pit takes hours to clear after ordinary rain, that is a job for the drainage team before the next front, not after it.

Make it safe, then fix it
We shut down the water or the gas line, drain what has to be drained, and repair the failure that woke you. On emergency calls we also glance at the fittings either side of the failed one, because a second tired hose or valve is better found tonight than next month.

Strathpine Emergency Questions
Call (07) 3067 4272Is a burst pipe in Strathpine ever a wait-until-morning job?
No, because water keeps running into the cavity or the slab until the main is off, so we treat a burst pipe as urgent and talk you through isolation on the phone.
Should I call Unitywater or a plumber when water is pooling at my property boundary?
Call us first and describe what you can see, because a leak on your side of the water meter is yours to fix, while Unitywater looks after the public mains and the sewer.
Does an after-hours emergency call-out in Strathpine cost more than a weekday one?
No, there is no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays in Strathpine, and the call-out itself costs nothing, with a fixed quote before the work begins.
What do I do if I smell gas inside my Strathpine home?
Leave the property, call us from outside, and do not flick switches or light flames on the way out, because any spark near a gas leak is the danger we work to avoid.
Does the lifetime labour warranty cover emergency repairs done at night?
Yes, the same lifetime labour warranty applies to every job we do, whenever we do it, because the hour on the clock does not change how the work is carried out.

Call (07) 3067 4272, describe the problem, and we will guide you through the make-safe steps and dispatch a licensed plumber tonight, because we are available 24/7, 7 days a week.
