Three Checks Before You Ring
Plumbing trouble right now? Three quick checks:
- Water you can't stop: turn off the valve at your water meter first, then call (07) 3523 7121.
- Gas you can smell inside: switch the appliance off, open up doors and windows, and leave light switches and power points as they are. Smell still there? Turn off the gas supply and ring (07) 3523 7121, or 000 if it won't clear.
- A drip or a cistern that won't stop filling: this is a booked job, not an emergency. Ring (07) 3523 7121 to set a time.
There's no extra fee for nights, weekends or public holidays, and we're available 24/7.
Plumbing Faults That Cannot Wait
Four faults can't wait: gas you can smell, a burst pipe or heavy water leak, no water or gas reaching the house, and a toilet that's blocked or broken. Everything else holds for a booked visit.
Each one grows while you watch. Gas fills a room, water soaks flooring and framing, and a dead toilet strands the household.
Renters get a second list. Queensland tenancy law sets which repairs count as emergencies, and anything outside that list is routine, even at midnight.
One fault may not be yours at all. Water standing in the meter box, or soggy ground beside a meter whose dials sit still, sits on Unitywater's side of the boundary, so report it to the utility. Our leak detection page covers the ones on your side.
A burst service line is the loudest of the four, and our burst pipe repairs page runs through what the mend involves.
Stop the Water and Gas Before You Call
Match the shut-off to the fault: an isolation valve at the fixture for one leaking tap, the stop tap at the meter for anything bigger, and the gas point for a smell. Close the one that stops the problem, then call.
Turn the meter's stop tap clockwise to close it. Before you do, check that cutting the water won't hurt the water heater.
With gas, work in order. Kill the appliance first and let the rooms breathe before you touch anything at the meter, and leave electrical switches alone while the smell lingers.
If the smell stays once the supply is off, ring 000. Your gas supplier's emergency number is top right on the bill.
Emergency or Can It Wait Until Morning
A fault contained at one fixture can wait for a booked visit. Gas you can smell, sewage rising at a gully, or water that won't stop can't wait, whatever the day or hour.
Shut things down first, then judge. A fixture with its own isolation valve can be cut off while every other tap keeps running, which turns a flood into a scheduled job.
A dribbling tap or a slow vanity basin sits on the can-wait side. Book it and sleep easy.
Renters should still report at once. Tell the contact your tenancy agreement names as soon as the problem is known, and the tenancy law's list decides how urgent it officially is.
Emergency Repairs That Need a Licensed Plumber
A licensed gasfitter handles the gas side, and a licensee mends a broken pipe or clears a clogged sanitary drain. Both jobs are minor work in Queensland: a licensee does them with neither a permit nor a Form 4, so no approval sits between your call and the fix.
A Form 4 is the form a licensed plumber files with the QBCC once notifiable work wraps up. Minor work skips it, which keeps an emergency repair simple on paper.
The split of roles stays clean. You close the valves; the licensee does the mending, the testing and the sign-off.
Gas always goes to the gasfitter, because the licence spans repairs, servicing, testing and the sign-off. Our gas leak repairs page explains the testing and certification, and our toilet repairs page covers a cistern that won't quit.
Who Rings Us After Dark
The housing mix decides who's on the phone. At the last census, 30.1 per cent of the suburb's homes were owned outright and another 33.4 per cent carried a mortgage, so most after-dark calls come from owners watching their own floors.
The ground adds its own pressure. Council's flood overlay places Bell Street and Conley Street in its medium and high classes, so storm nights bring water where it shouldn't be and push wastewater up out of low gully traps.

Emergency Plumbing Questions From Clontarf
Call (07) 3523 7121Should I call a plumber now or wait until morning?
Shut the water off first, then judge. A dribbling tap or a slow vanity basin keeps until a booked visit. Gas smells, sewage rising at a gully, or water that won't shut off all need a call right away, day or night.
Where do I shut off the gas in an emergency?
At the gas meter, or at the bottle if the place runs on LPG, provided it's safe to get to. Turn off the appliance and open the doors and windows first, and if the smell lingers once the supply is shut, ring 000. Your supplier's emergency line sits top right on the gas bill.
As a tenant, who do I call for a plumbing emergency?
The emergency contact your tenancy agreement names, told as soon as you know the problem. A phone call counts as the report. Queensland tenancy law sets the emergency list, and anything outside it is a routine repair.
What decides the cost of an emergency repair in Clontarf?
Two things drive the price: what has failed, and how easily we reach the pipe or fitting. A fixed quote before any work starts settles the figure, with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees.
Who can repair a gas leak in Clontarf?
Gas work belongs to a licensed gasfitter alone, and that covers fixing, servicing, testing and signing off the system. Shut the supply off first, then have the gasfitter test and certify the repair.
