What Goes Wrong Between Meter and Tap
Between the meter and your taps, a supply line fails in five ways: corroded pipe, weeping joints, splits and bursts, failed flexi hoses, and leaks you cannot see. Each one has its own page, linked below.
Corrosion and wear
older pipe and fittings thin out and seep at the threads, especially where two metals meet.
Pressure that runs high
a supply working harder than it should stresses joints and washers until something gives.
Ground and root movement
Kallangur sits on low hill country with gentle slopes, and soil that swells through storm season then tightens in a dry spell works at buried joints.
Flexi hoses
the braided connector beneath a sink or basin often gives out before the pipe does, and the flexi hose replacement page carries that detail.
Hidden leaks
a concealed leak can sit under lawns, driveways or wall cavities, losing thousands of litres daily until the bill spikes or damage shows, which is leak detection territory.
Homes built before 1989 are worth a thought here too, because copper pipe from that era was often joined with lead-based solder.
How to Check a Plumber's Licence
Water pipe repairs are regulated plumbing work in Queensland, so a QBCC licensed plumber must do them. Every Kallangur Same Day Plumbing job is done by a licensed plumber, and you can verify that yourself.
Two licences apply in this trade. One lets the plumber carry out the work, the other lets a business contract for it, and the QBCC issues both. Its public registers also show a licence status and any Form 4 recorded against an address, so you can check before you commit.
The paperwork splits by job size:
Minor work
fixing a broken pipe still needs a licensed person, but no permit applies and no Form 4 goes in.
Notifiable work
replacing the whole supply run from meter to house means the plumber lodges Form 4 paperwork with the QBCC and gives you a copy.
Which Pipes Belong to the Owner
Unitywater owns the supply line from the street main up to your meter, and the meter itself. Every pipe and fitting on the property side of that point belongs to you, the owner, hidden leaks included.
You will find the meter in a shallow box at the front boundary, level with the ground, and that box marks the handover point. Queensland law also puts a duty on owners. You must do what is reasonable to keep your plumbing and drainage sound and working, so a leaking supply line on your side is yours to fix, not the utility's.
Urgent Pipe Problems and Ones That Can Wait
Water you cannot shut off, a split supply line pouring, a serious leak, or water tracking towards a power point all need urgent attention. A seeping joint or a weeping garden tap can wait for a booked visit.
Cannot wait
a burst line, water rising through floors, or a leak moving towards electrical fittings. The burst pipe repairs page covers the first moves, including turning the water off at the meter.
Can wait
a garden tap seeping on a Sheaves Road block, or a joint leaving a damp patch on a laundry wall in a Marsden Road home. Ring, book a time, and it gets fixed without the urgency premium other trades charge.
For a rental, Queensland tenancy law classes a burst supply line and a serious leak as emergency repairs, so the fault cannot sit until the lease ends.
Leaks, Bursts and Flexi Hoses in Detail
Three pipe jobs come up more than any others, and each gets a page of its own on this site. Kallangur Same Day Plumbing quotes all three the same way: a fixed price before any work starts.
- Leak detection: finding hidden leaks without tearing up the yard.
- Burst pipe repairs: stopping a failed line and repairing the run.
- Flexi hose replacement: swapping the braided hoses that fail first.

Water Pipe Questions From Kallangur Homes
Call (07) 3520 4094Who owns the water pipes on my Kallangur property?
Unitywater maintains the main out in the street and the meter at your boundary. Every pipe and fitting past the meter onto your place is yours to look after as the owner, including a leak you cannot see.
What makes water pipes leak or burst?
Wear and corrosion, pressure that runs high, and ground or root movement cause most leaks and bursts. Copper pipe joined before 1989 often carries lead-based solder, so age plays its part in older homes.
How can I tell if a leak is on my side of the meter?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then watch the dial at the meter. If the dial still moves with everything off, the leak is probably yours, and our leak detection page explains how we pin it down.
How long does a water pipe repair take?
The time depends on where the pipe sits, how much of it needs work, its material and the parts involved. Access through a wall, slab or ground adds the most time, and a fixed quote comes before any work starts.
Should I repair or replace old water pipes in Kallangur?
Repair suits a pipe that is sound apart from one bad spot. When leaks keep coming back along the same run, replacing that stretch is the better call, and we talk both options through on site with a fixed quote.
Do you charge extra for weekend or night pipe repairs in Kallangur?
No. There is no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and we're available 24/7, 7 days a week.
