What Counts as an Emergency
Not every plumbing problem is one, and knowing the difference saves you a sleepless night:
Burst pipes and split flexi hoses
water running where you cannot stop it. See burst pipes.
An overflowing toilet pan
wastewater rising instead of draining. See toilet overflowing.
Hot water gone completely
no hot tap anywhere in the place. See no hot water.
A smell of gas indoors or near the meter
leave first, then ring. See gas leaks.
A leaking tap or a slow-draining kitchen sink is a scheduled job for general plumbing, a blocked drain sits with drainage, and a failing tank begins on hot water. Tenants outnumber owners here, so we keep renters and property managers both in the loop on every visit.
When the Nundah Flats Flood
Nundah Village rides a ridge above the creek flood lines, and the flats toward Toombul sit down in them. Schulz Canal moves district run-off past that low country, so in a storm the house drains and the local stormwater pits both fill.
The 2022 flood map tells the story plainly. It runs over Widdop Street, Hedley Avenue and Nudgee Road, and Toombul Shopping Centre, standing on ground built up in 1967 precisely because it flooded, still took water. Call-outs on the flats follow every big rain.
What that means when the sky opens:
- Storm water lying in the yard is a drainage matter unless it rises through a floor waste.
- Water backing up through the lowest drain after rain can mean a choked stormwater line, which blocked stormwater covers.
- A pipe letting storm water into the house is an emergency, and the meter gets turned off first.
The Four Emergency Jobs
Every one of these is covered on a separate page, listing the make-safe steps and the suburb-specific detail.
Toilet Overflowing
A pan filling instead of flushing is usually a blocked branch or main line, and we stop the overflow, clear the choke and check the line on camera.
No Hot Water
A dead tank in a cupboard or beside the stumps is urgent, and we quickly diagnose the failure and tell you honestly whether a repair will hold.
Gas Leaks
A gas smell is the one job where you leave first and ring from outside, and our gasfitting covers the repair while gas fitting handles installs and appliances.

Make Safe First, Then Call
Three situations, three first moves. Doing these before anything else keeps a bad night from becoming a damaged house.
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.
The meter for most homes sits near the front boundary and shuts the whole property in one turn. Hot water has its own isolation valve on the cold inlet to the tank, and the gas meter has one at the assembly.
Not sure which valve? Ring anyway, because talking a customer through the shut-off while our plumber is on the way is a normal part of this job.
Stacked Bathrooms and Side Yard Tanks
This suburb mixes two building eras, and each fails its own way. Flats and apartments make up 60.5 per cent of the 6257 dwellings at the last census, and many of those blocks went up after Council's 2008 village renewal, with wet areas stacked directly above each other.
A burst flexi hose in one unit soaks the bathrooms and ceilings below within minutes, so isolation calls in the apartment blocks are genuinely urgent. One failure can become three insurance claims before a plumber arrives.
The older cottages up on the ridge fail the old way instead:
- Galvanised lines in the walls of homes around Boyd Street and Surrey Street, rusting from within until a stretch lets go.
- External tanks beside the stumps that give out at the base, a mess on the slab rather than a flood through a ceiling.
- Rigid older drains blocking at a slipped socket once storms saturate the ground.
Knowing which era your place belongs to tells you which failure is likeliest, and our plumbers bring parts for both.

Nundah Emergency Questions
Call (07) 3067 4272What counts as a plumbing emergency in Nundah?
Water you cannot switch off, sewage rising inside, a gas smell or a tank flooding the unit below all count, so ring (07) 3067 4272 and we will talk you through the make-safe steps first.
Should I turn the water off at the meter before help arrives?
Yes, if water is running where it should not, because the meter near your Nundah front boundary shuts the whole property down and buys time before our plumber reaches you.
Do I call Urban Utilities or a plumber for a burst pipe?
The mains beneath the street are Urban Utilities' responsibility, but whatever sits on your side of that junction is yours to repair, so ring us first and we will tell you straight.
Why does one burst hose flood several units in a Nundah apartment block?
Flexi hoses sit in stacked bathrooms, so a split one drains through every ceiling below within minutes, and isolating the water at that unit early keeps the damage to one storey.
Does storm flooding on the Toombul flats need an emergency plumber?
Only if water is coming up through your own drains or a pipe has failed, because the flats beside Schulz Canal are flood-mapped ground, so tell us where your place sits when you ring.
How do I book an emergency plumber in Nundah?
Ring (07) 3067 4272, tell us what is happening and where you are, and we will book a plumber in, with a fixed quote before any work starts and card or EFTPOS on site.
