Which Emergency Do You Have
Start with what you can see, smell or hear, because the right page depends on that:
Water pouring out
go to burst pipes.
A loo filling the bathroom instead of the pan
go to toilet overflowing.
Cold showers and a silent tank
go to no hot water.
A gas smell in the house or yard
go to gas leaks and read that one first.
If you are not sure which it is, ring (07) 3067 4274 and describe what is happening. Two minutes on the phone usually sorts it.
When It Cannot Wait
Some faults are bookings, and some are now jobs. The difference is water you cannot stop, gas you can smell, or a fixture making the house worse by the hour.
A dripping tap can wait a week. A split service line under a driveway cannot wait until Friday.
Storms change the maths. A single summer storm cell can do real damage here; the November 2008 storm wrecked houses across this suburb and over towards The Gap and Ferny Grove.
Council's 2022 creek flood mapping takes in a handful of blocks near Kedron Brook, including homes along Burdon, Duggan, Babinda and Avington Streets. A blocked drain or a split pipe on one of those blocks can land while the creek is still rising.
That is when the make-safe steps below matter most, because a flooded gully pit plus a burst service line is a very different night from either one alone.
The Four Emergency Calls We Take
Burst pipes
A split service line or a burst pressure pipe can dump water into a laundry, under a driveway or through a ceiling fast. The burst pipes page covers where these tend to give way in older suburbs like this one, and what we do to get the water stopped.
Toilet overflowing
A loo that fills the pan instead of draining is usually a blockage somewhere between the trap and the boundary, and it can turn from nuisance to hazard quickly. The toilet overflowing page walks through what to check and when to stop checking.
No hot water
A cold tank on a winter morning is the classic call in a suburb full of postwar cottages, and it sometimes hides a leaking relief valve rather than a dead element. The no hot water page sorts the symptom from the cause.
Gas leaks
A gas smell is the one job where the first steps happen before you ring anyone, because you should be outside the house when you do. The gas leaks page starts with those steps and nothing else.
What Counts as an Emergency in Keperra
The honest test is damage. Is the fault getting worse by the hour, unsafe, or just annoying?
Water rising inside a wall, gas near a flame or a switch, and sewage on a floor all pass. A slow drip in the laundry does not, though it still deserves a booking rather than a bucket.
Make safe first, then call. These steps hold the line while the van is on the way:
Worth knowing before you panic about a street-side problem: Urban Utilities looks after the mains and the public side of the connection. The pipes on your side of that line are yours, which is usually what decides who you ring first.
- 1
Water
turn the water off at the meter, usually near the front boundary, and that stops the flow to the whole house.
- 2
Hot water
if the tank is leaking, shut its isolating tap and keep clear of the wet floor near any power point.
- 3
Gas
do not look for the leak. Leave the property, call from outside, and leave the switches alone until the site is checked.

Why Keperra Emergencies Have a Pattern
The old services are the deep ones
Plenty of the water lines running under driveways and kerbs here went into the ground back in the 1950s subdivision years, which puts them close to seventy years old. A line that aged can let go when soil shifts or a heavy vehicle rolls over it.
The tanks quit in the cold
The postwar cottages here mostly run electric storage tanks tucked into tight laundries and lean-tos. The oldest ones tend to give up on the first genuinely cold morning of the year, often with a wet floor as the first sign.
The newer estates fail differently
In the recent pockets at the suburb's edges, Kings Grove and The Quarry, faults more often come down to fittings and how the place was built than to worn-out pipework. That changes what we look for first when we arrive.
The cottages hide their plumbing
Fibro and weatherboard homes from the Housing Commission years squeeze tanks and drains into tight corners, and the brick-veneer places that followed them carry different pipework again.
Our Emergency Process
If the emergency turns out to have a drainage side, the drainage page covers the follow-up work, from clearing blocked lines to the camera inspections that show exactly where a crack sits.

Questions About Emergencies
Call (07) 3067 4274What counts as a plumbing emergency in Keperra?
Water you cannot shut off, a gas smell on the property, a loo spilling over, and a total loss of hot water are all call-now jobs, and the pages below cover what to do first.
Do I call you or Urban Utilities first?
Call Urban Utilities for a fault on the street main or meter, and call us for anything on the property side of the connection, which is the part you own.
Where is the shut-off if a pipe bursts?
Go straight to the water meter, typically close to the street at the front of the property, because one turn of the stop tap beside it shuts down every tap and pipe in the house.
Can a hot water failure wait until tomorrow?
It can if nothing is leaking and you can manage without hot water, but a tank weeping from its base or a wet laundry floor is a today job, not a tomorrow one.
Is a gas smell ever a wait-and-see job?
No, gas outranks everything else on this page, so leave the property, ring from outside, and keep clear of switches and flames until the site has been checked over.
