What Goes Wrong Between Meter and Tap
Four faults account for most supply-line trouble: corroded pipe that weeps, splits and bursts, failed flexi hoses, and leaks hidden from view. Each fault below has its own page.
Corrosion and wear
A joint buried since the 1950s has had decades to thin out. Woody Point filled out through those same mid-century decades, so plenty of the supply pipe under its cottages is old enough to earn a careful look.
High water pressure
Pressure running hot stresses every joint along the run and turns a thin spot into a split.
Ground and root movement
Rock and sand under this headland shift differently through wet and dry spells. Streets fall steeply off the ridge toward the foreshore, so buried lines sit with little slack when the ground moves.
Flexi hoses
A braided flexi hose beneath the laundry tub often gives out years before the pipe does; our flexi hose replacement page carries that job.
Hidden leaks
A quiet loss beneath a drive or within a wall can run for months before the bill climbs or a stain shows up. Our leak detection page covers how we find them.
Where a cottage still runs its original galvanised stock, furred and narrowed inside, repiping is the lasting fix instead of patch on patch.
Water Pipe Faults That Cannot Wait
Unstoppable flow, a split water service line and a severe supply leak are the urgent calls; slow drips and damp fittings can hold for a weekday booking.
Flow no tap will stop
Close the control at the meter and ring us on (07) 3523 7172.
Water near electrics or structure
Flow at a ceiling, inside a wall cavity or at a power point turns a plumbing fault into a safety one.
A burst upstairs
A hose that lets go on a top floor above Hornibrook Esplanade sends water down through every flat beneath it, so making it safe comes first.
For a Queensland rental, the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 lists a split water service and a severe leak as emergency repairs. Our burst pipe repairs page sets out that response.
Where the Owner's Responsibility Starts
Unitywater, the water utility for this side of Moreton Bay, owns the line running up from the street main to your meter, as well as the meter itself. Everything past that box, out on the property side, is yours as the owner.
Two practical points follow from that split:
The meter box marks the line
It sits in a small box set flush with the ground near the front boundary, and your stretch of pipe starts there.
Your side stays your bill
Queensland's Plumbing and Drainage Act puts a duty on owners to take reasonable steps keeping their pipes and drains sound. A hidden loss can quietly shed thousands of litres a day before an account spike or a stain gives it away.
A burst between the road and the meter belongs to the utility, so that one goes to Unitywater's faults service rather than to us.
Occupational and Contractor Licences Explained
Regulated plumbing work, water pipe repairs included, must be done by a QBCC licensed plumber. You can check us the same as any other tradesperson, through the QBCC's online registers: confirm a licence is current, and see whether Form 4 paperwork exists for an address.
Occupational licence
what a tradesperson holds to do plumbing work.
Contractor licence
what a business holds to run those jobs. The QBCC issues both.
All three regulated categories need a licensed hand
permit work, notifiable work and minor work.
Fixing a damaged supply line
sits in the minor basket, done by a licensed person with no permit and no Form 4.
Renewing the supply piping feeding an existing dwelling
counts as notifiable work. The plumber lodges Form 4 paperwork with the QBCC, and a copy lands with you.

Questions on Water Pipes and Meters
Call (07) 3523 7172Can you repair a leaking water pipe in Woody Point?
Yes, a licensed plumber repairs a leaking line by cutting out the damaged section and joining in new pipe, or by renewing the faulty joint. Fixing a broken or damaged pipe counts as minor work in Queensland, so no permit applies and no Form 4 goes in.
Can I fix my own water pipe at home in Queensland?
No, fixing a fractured supply line is licensed work, so clamps, epoxy and repair tape are off the table. A short unregulated list stays open to householders, mainly washer-level jobs at a tap. Everything on a supply line goes through a licensed plumber.
How long does fixing a water pipe take?
No set time, because the hours move with access, the length of line the job runs through, the pipe material and the parts the fix needs. Chasing a pipe through a wall, under a slab or under a lawn all run differently. A fixed quote sets the scope before anyone starts.
What changes the price of a water pipe repair?
Access, the length of pipe involved, the material the pipe is made from, and whether we patch one spot or replace the run. Flat-rate pricing on a fixed quote, agreed before tools come out, prices exactly those drivers, with no hidden fees on the invoice.
Do nights and weekends cost more for pipe repairs in Woody Point?
No, there is no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and we are available 24/7. A burst line on a Saturday night books the same way as a Tuesday morning, on (07) 3523 7172.
Who fixes a leak in the pipe between the street and my water meter?
Unitywater does. The water utility here owns the line from the road main up to your meter, and the meter too, so a leak on that stretch goes to its faults service. Everything on the property side of the meter is the owner's, and that is where we work.
