the burst pipes page.

the toilet overflowing page.
Every tap running cold
the no hot water page.

the gas leaks page, read from the footpath.
When to Call and Where to Click
Match the symptom to its page before anything else:
Water you cannot stop
turn the meter tap off, then read about burst pipes.
Water rising in the toilet
start with toilet overflow help and stop the water feeding it.
Every tap running cold
read the no hot water guide before you drain anything.
Any smell of gas
leave first, then open the gas leaks page from the footpath.
Plumbing emergency happening now? Start here:
- Water that won't stop: shut the main tap at the water meter, then ring (07) 3067 4119.
- Gas you can smell: get everyone outside and call from there. Leave switches alone and keep flames away.
- A dripping tap or a sluggish drain: this can normally wait for a booked time. Ring (07) 3067 4119 to book one.
- After dark, on a weekend or a public holiday: we're available 24/7, 7 days a week, with no extra fee for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Hill Pipes and Unit Blocks
The housing here splits in two, and each half fails in its own way when something lets go.
The hill houses
Streets climbing off Eildon Road keep pre-1940 Queenslanders on stumps, and timber houses never renovated still carry their original galvanised supply lines, scaled up inside until a tap barely runs. Those corroded joints are where a line splits.
The unit blocks
The last census put 45.4 percent of local homes in flats or apartments, and when a flexi hose bursts at a hand basin in a stacked block on Lutwyche Road, water pours through each ceiling underneath.
The pattern
Same emergency, different damage: under a raised floor the leak hides, in a block it cascades.
The Four Emergency Pages
One page per emergency, each starting with the first five minutes:
Burst Pipes
A split supply line under a raised house on stumps. The burst pipes page covers finding the meter tap, shutting the supply off quickly, and what the repair itself involves.
Toilet Overflowing
A cistern that will not shut off, or a bowl backing up. The overflowing toilet page explains how to stop the feed and what to keep out of the pan.
No Hot Water
A dead element, a failed valve or a tank rusted through. The guide on hot water failure covers the safe checks, because a wrongly drained tank turns a simple job expensive.
Gas Leaks
Any whiff of gas means everyone outside and a call from the footpath. The gas leaks page sets out make-safe rules and how a licensed gasfitter finds and repairs it.
What Counts as an Emergency
The test is damage, safety or a lost basic service, and it sorts fast:
- Call now: water pouring through a floor, gas inside the house, a cistern flooding a hallway, or a whole unit with no hot water in June.
- Book a visit: a dripping tap or a slow sink. Both can wait, and a booked job costs less stress than a midnight panic.
Renters ring first here. Most homes in the suburb are rented rather than owned, so many urgent calls start with the agent and end with us talking tenant and landlord through what the price covers.
Three isolation points matter more than anything else on this page:
Once the water or gas is isolated, the damage stops growing and the repair turns into a planned job instead of a rescue.
- 1
The water meter
Know where the meter tap sits before you need it, because every burst pipe job starts there.
- 2
The gas meter
If the smell is inside, get out first and let the gasfitter handle any isolation from a safe position.
- 3
The hot water isolation valve
Every tank has one on the cold inlet, and knowing it early stops a weeping tank becoming a ceiling job.

Storm Season and the Creek Flats
Storm season runs from November to March, and the suburb's shape decides who gets the water.
The flood record on the low ground is long. Swan Hill went under in 1893, streets near Breakfast Creek flooded in 1974, homes west of Bowen Bridge were inundated when Enoggera Creek broke its banks in January 2011, and the suburb appeared on the flooded list again in February 2022.
- Rain coming off the high streets arrives on the flats fast, and side-street pits there can fill before the creek itself has risen.
- Ground that low stays wet long after a storm passes, and a trench opened for a repair sits in soggy alluvial clay until the job is done.
- Downey Park and the Northey Street City Farm sit on that same low ground, which is why those blocks drain first and flood first.
- The drainage services page covers what to fix before November; this page covers what fails during it.

Emergency Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3067 4119What counts as a plumbing emergency in Windsor?
Any water you cannot shut off, a cistern running over onto the floorboards, a unit without hot water, or any whiff of gas, and each needs a plumber straight away, not a booked visit.
Should I turn the water off at the meter?
Yes, shut the tap at the meter before anything else, because stopping the flow at the street protects the floors and ceilings underneath a burst line while help is on the way.
Who fixes a burst water main in Windsor?
A burst main under the street or footpath belongs to Urban Utilities, so report it to them, while anything on the house side of the meter is the owner's to repair.
Is flooding near the creeks a plumbing problem?
Flood water itself is a council and insurance matter, but once it drops, the laundries, garages and drains on that low ground near Enoggera Creek all need checking before the next storm.
What should I do if I smell gas inside?
Get everyone outside first, skip every switch and flame on the way out, and ring us from the footpath, because locating and repairing a gas leak is licensed gasfitter work.
