Every job is done by a licensed plumber. This page sorts the urgent faults from the ones that can hold, shows you what to close before help arrives, and explains how an after hours booking runs.
First Moves While You Wait
What to do first when something goes wrong:
- A burst or a leak you can't control: shut off the main valve at the water meter and call (07) 3524 7137.
- You can smell gas: turn the gas appliance off, open doors and windows, and don't flick any switch on or off. If the smell doesn't fade, close the gas at the meter or bottle, then call (07) 3524 7137. Call 000 if you can still smell it.
- Small leaks and dripping taps: these can wait for an appointment. Call (07) 3524 7137 to book.
We're available 24/7, 7 days a week, and there's no added charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Gas Smells, Burst Pipes and Overflowing Toilets
The cannot-wait list runs: a gas smell or leak, a burst pipe or major leak, the water or gas supply failing, and a toilet out of order. Flooding belongs on that list too.
One boundary catches people out. Water pooled in the meter box, or soggy ground beside it while the dial stands still, usually points to Unitywater's side of the pipe.
Report that one to the utility rather than to us. The dial ticking over while the ground stays wet is the opposite case: water is being drawn through the meter, so the leak sits on your side of it. That is owner's territory, and worth a leak detection visit.
Renters work to a different test again. Tenancy law spells out which repairs count as urgent, and a repair outside that spelled-out list is routine work with a normal timeline.
What to Shut Off First
- 1
The Isolation Valve at the Fixture
Most fixtures carry a small isolation valve on their supply line. Closing it stops water to that one fixture and leaves every other tap in the house working.
- 2
The Shut-Off Tap at the Meter
Still running? The shut-off tap beside the water meter turns clockwise and stops the whole supply. One check first: closing it can hurt an appliance such as the water heater, so use the fixture valve wherever you can.
- 3
Gas at the Meter or Bottle
Switch the gas appliance off and fling doors and windows open. If the smell holds, close the supply where the gas meter or LPG bottle sits, if it's safe to reach. The smell surviving all that means a call to 000. Your gas bill also prints the supplier's emergency number in the top right-hand corner, under the headings for emergencies and leaking gas. The deeper gas-fault routine sits on the gas leak repairs page.

Night, Weekend and Public Holiday Calls
Isolation decides it: a contained fault can hold until a booked appointment, while raw sewage rising, a gas smell or water that keeps running needs a 24 hour plumber regardless of the clock. Shut off what you can, then weigh it up.
A weeping tap, a basin slow to empty or one cold tap running warm are appointment jobs for a weekend plumber, not midnight ones. Local Warner Plumbing takes both kinds of call, because we're available 24/7 and no extra charge applies for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Tenants get one more filter before the phone. Tenancy law's emergency list sets the bar for what a landlord must fix fast, and anything outside it counts as routine.
After Hours Calls Around Warner
Emergencies here follow the suburb's own rhythms. Census figures put 48.6% of households on a mortgage and 20.1% owning outright, so an untended leak reads as the household's own money running down the drain.
The late kitchens at Warner Tavern and the takeaway ring at MarketPlace Warner add a second pattern. A shared sewer line that stops mid-trade can't pause until morning, and neither can the toilets behind it.
Emergency Repairs That Need a Licensed Plumber
A licensed gasfitter takes the gas work, and a licensed plumber takes everything from broken pipes to blocked sanitary drains. Both count as minor work under Queensland rules: a licensee has to do them, no council permit applies, and no Form 4 gets lodged.
A Form 4 is the paperwork notifiable work generates at the QBCC. These urgent jobs never generate one, so nothing waits on approval before the repair starts.
Closing valves, shifting valuables clear and mopping up is the owner's share. The licensed side is ours, from the burst pipe fix through to the toilet repairs that follow.

Emergency Questions We Get Asked
Call (07) 3524 7137What counts as a plumbing emergency in Warner?
A gas leak, a burst pipe or major water leak, the supply of water or gas failing, a toilet out of order, or flooding. Renters add one filter: the emergency repairs are listed in tenancy law, and anything off that list is routine.
Where do I shut off the gas in a hurry?
At the gas meter, or at the LPG bottle on a cylinder set-up, if it's safe to get there. Switch the appliance off and air the house out first, then call 000 if the smell holds after the supply is closed. Your gas bill also prints the supplier's emergency number in the top right-hand corner.
Can I fix a burst pipe myself in an emergency?
No, repairing a burst pipe is licensed work; the law hands a damaged pipe to a licensee alone. Shut the water off at the fixture or meter and contain what you can. The repair itself stays with a licensed plumber.
As a renter, who do I call about a plumbing emergency?
Phone the emergency contact your lease names, as early as you can. A spoken message is enough notice; the written form is optional. Tenancy law then decides whether the repair counts as an emergency, and that sets the speed.
Who can repair a gas leak in Warner?
A licensed gasfitter, and nobody else. Gas work covers fixing, servicing, testing and certifying a gas system, so the repair and the paperwork both stay licensed. Close the supply off first, then call (07) 3524 7137.
