On the acreage places out along Jackson Road, the service runs a long way back from the road, so there is plenty of pipe between the meter and the house.
Water Pipe Faults We Repair
A supply line fails in a handful of ways, and each fault has its own page:
Bursts and splits
pressure or corrosion opens a length of pipe. Start with Burst Pipe Repairs.
Leaks you cannot see
water escaping under a lawn or within a wall cavity. Our Leak Detection service traces it without guesswork.
Tank and pump plumbing
see Water Tank Pumps and Rainwater Tank Plumbing.
Hunting a leak yourself
the find a hidden leak guide walks you through the checks.
Wear and corrosion claim most old joints. High pressure strains them further, and ground or root movement drags at buried lines. Shale on the rises and alluvial soil near the creeks both shift with the seasons, so buried joints here work loose rather than sitting still.
Inside the house, the braided flexi hose feeding a sink or basin mixer is a weak point that often lets go before the pipe does. Age matters too: solder with lead in it stayed standard on brass and copper until 1989, so we always ask how old the pipework is before trusting a joint.
A concealed leak can sit underground, under a drive or inside a wall, wasting thousands of litres of water a day. The first sign is often a high account or a wet patch that never dries.
Water Pipe Faults That Cannot Wait
Shut the water off and phone us straight away for water running with no tap open, a supply line that has split, or a major service line leak. Water running into a ceiling, across a wall or near a power outlet is urgent as well.
Queensland rental law treats those three as emergency repairs, which backs the same urgency at your own place. A drip that holds steady, or a fitting that only weeps in wet weather, can wait for a scheduled repair. Wet-season ground along the flats beside the creeks stays soft for weeks, so a dig that starts simple can run long; ring early either way.
We are available 24/7, and there is no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Which Pipes Belong to the Owner
Unitywater owns the line from the main in the street up to your meter, along with the meter itself. Every pipe past that meter onto the property belongs to you, down to the last garden tap and out to the tank and pump.
Your meter usually reads from a low-set box at the front boundary, in the strip between the road and the fence. That box is the dividing line: utility problems get reported to the utility, and owner-side problems come to us.
Queensland law also asks owners to do everything reasonable to keep their pipes and drains sound and in working order, on a rental or your own place. A leak on your side of the line left running wastes your water and your money, so it is worth the early call.
How to Check a Plumber's Licence
A QBCC licensed plumber has to carry out the regulated work, and water pipe repairs sit inside that category. Any tradesperson doing the job needs an occupational licence in hand, and anyone running the jobs as a business needs a contractor licence as well; both come from the QBCC.
The paperwork splits by job. Patching a damaged length of pipe counts as minor work: a licensed person does it, and neither a permit nor a Form 4 is needed. Replacing the whole supply line out to an existing dwelling is notifiable instead, so we lodge a Form 4 with the QBCC and hand you a copy.
The QBCC's licence register and Form 4 register both sit online. You can check a plumber's number there, and see what has been lodged against an address, before anyone picks up a shovel.

Water Pipe Questions From Wamuran Homes
Call (07) 3523 7172Can a leaking water pipe in Wamuran be repaired?
Yes, a licensed plumber repairs or replaces the damaged section of pipe. The job counts as minor work, so no permit is needed. Ring (07) 3523 7172 and we will trace the leak and quote on the repair.
Who owns the water pipes at my place?
Unitywater owns the pipe running from the street main to your meter, plus the meter itself. Everything on the property side of the meter belongs to you, so repairs there are owner's jobs, and that is the side we work on.
Can I fix a broken water pipe myself?
No, Queensland reserves repairing a broken or damaged pipe for licensed plumbers. The job counts as minor work, but a licensed person still has to do it. A few small jobs sit outside the rules, and a water line repair is not one of them.
Which water pipe problems are emergencies?
Water that keeps running when every tap is closed, a burst supply line, and a major service line leak are the big three. Queensland rental law counts all three as emergency repairs. A steady drip at a fitting can wait for a scheduled visit.
What changes the cost of a water pipe repair?
Four things set it: access to the pipe, how much line is involved, what the pipe is made from, and whether we patch one section or replace the run. A fixed quote settles the price before any work starts.
Who repairs a leak between the street and my water meter?
Unitywater does. The pipe from the main to the meter, along with the meter, sit on the utility's side of the boundary, so report that leak to the utility rather than booking a plumber.
