Burst Pipes
A corroded fitting on an old steel line can pour water beneath a raised floor unnoticed for days, so we isolate the supply first, then repair and pressure-test the line.

Do This First
Plumbing emergency happening now? Start here:
- Water that won't stop: shut the main tap at the water meter, then ring (07) 3524 7117.
- 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) 3524 7117 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.
The Brook Sets the Ground Rules
Kedron Brook parklands and the bikeway follow the water along the suburb's low south-eastern edge, and which side of that slope your house sits on decides a lot about what goes wrong first.
The flats cop the water
The low ground here went under when the brook flooded in February 2022, and council mapping still shows a creek flood planning area covering that frontage.
Ground-level gear is exposed
Laundries, garages and hot water tanks sitting low near the brook are the first things at risk when it rises again.
The rises shed fast
Hard-setting soils up the slopes throw storm run-off downhill in short intense bursts through the storm months, and every yard drain on the flats wears it.
So an emergency call here is never just about the fixture. It matters whether the house is a raised interwar timber place up on the shale or a unit block down on the alluvial flats, and our plumbers ask that question before anything else.
The Four Calls We Get
Each of these has its own page with the triage steps, the likely causes and what we do when we arrive.
Toilet Overflowing
A pan rising past the rim means a blockage further down, and earthenware drains here give silt and roots plenty of joints to lodge in, so we clear the line and camera-check.
No Hot Water
A cold shower on a winter morning points to a rusted tank base or a seeping relief valve in a damp undercroft, so we diagnose the cause before quoting any fix.
Gas Leaks
If you can smell gas, leave the property and call from outside, because hunting for a leak yourself is dangerous, and our gasfitting licence lets us make the site safe.

What Counts as an Emergency
The line is simpler than people expect. An emergency is anything that risks the house, the health of the people in it, or a service you cannot safely go without tonight.
- Water running that no tap or isolation valve will stop.
- Sewage rising inside the home instead of going away.
- Any smell of gas, indoors or out.
- A total hot water failure in a house with kids, elderly residents or a medical need for warm water.
A dripping tap, a single slow sink or a system that still works but grumbles are not emergencies, though we will still book them in. If you are standing in a wet hallway deciding, do not decide alone: ring and let us help you sort it.
Three isolation points are worth knowing before you ever need them, and they are the first things we ask about on the phone.
The water meter
It sits near the front boundary; turning it off stops every supply line on your side, while the mains in the street stay Urban Utilities' responsibility.
The hot water isolation tap
It sits on the cold inlet to the tank; shutting it stops a failing tank from emptying itself through the leak.
The gas meter
If you smell gas, do not stay to find the tap; leave first and call from outside, and let a licensed gasfitter shut things down.
Old Pipes and Tall Units
Two things about the housing stock here decide how a midnight call unfolds, and both trace back to when the streets went in.
Steel supply lines are still working
Plenty of the between-the-wars cottages around Khartoum Street and Gordon Street never had a re-pipe, so galvanised steel still feeds the taps, and it corrodes from the inside until a fitting lets go without warning.
Flats multiply the damage
Units and apartments made up close to a third of homes here at the last census, and when a braided flexi hose lets go behind a basin in one of them, the water usually finds the ceiling below first.
That is why a call from a unit block always jumps our queue. What starts as one bathroom's problem becomes two homes' problem before the night is out.

Emergency Questions From Gordon Park
Call (07) 3524 7117What counts as a plumbing emergency in Gordon Park?
Water you cannot shut off, waste backing up into the house, any smell of gas, or a full loss of hot water in winter all count, and we triage those calls ahead of everything else.
Who do I call about a gas smell in Gordon Park?
Leave the property first and make the call from outside, because switches and flames are dangerous near a leak, then ring (07) 3524 7117 and a licensed gasfitter will make the site safe.
Do I turn off the water at the meter before help arrives?
Yes, if water is running anywhere inside, shut it down at the meter near the front boundary, because Urban Utilities owns the council pipes out front and every pipe past that point is yours.
Why do burst pipes happen in the older houses here?
Many of the pre-war cottages near Khartoum Street still carry their original galvanised steel supply lines, and those pipes rust and narrow on the inner wall until a joint fails with no warning.
Are hot water failures common near Kedron Brook?
They can be, because a tank set low on the creek flats sits in damp air that rots its base, and the February 2022 floods showed how exposed the ground along that waterway is.
