What to Do First
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) 3523 6417.
- 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) 3523 6417. Call 000 if you can still smell it.
- Small leaks and dripping taps: these can wait for an appointment. Call (07) 3523 6417 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
A gas smell tops the list, then a burst pipe or a serious leak, water or gas gone entirely, and a toilet that has blocked or broken. Flooding and the failure of an essential service or appliance also belong. For a rental, the list in Queensland tenancy law decides, and any repair missing from it counts as routine.
Each of these has its own first move:
A gas smell
kill the appliance, air the house out, and touch no switches. If the smell lingers, close the gas supply and call.
Burst pipe or major leak
shut the water down and call. Our burst pipe repairs page covers what the repair itself involves.
A failed supply
check whether the neighbours have water or gas too, then call.
A failed toilet
one toilet down in a single-bathroom home is urgent; our toilet repairs page walks through the common faults.
Water pooling in the meter box
soggy ground around a meter that is not ticking over points to a leak before your meter. That one is likely Unitywater's to fix, so report it to them rather than to us.
Meter Taps and Isolation Valves Explained
Match the shut-off to the fault. A single fixture gets its isolation valve, the whole house gets the meter's stop tap, and gas gets shut where it enters. An isolation valve closes the water to one fixture or appliance and leaves everything else running, which is why we suggest trying it first.
The meter's stop tap lives in a small box set into the ground near the front boundary. Turn it clockwise to close it. Before you do, check that cutting the supply will not harm appliances such as the hot water system.
Gas follows a stricter sequence. Kill the gas appliance and air the place out, and leave every switch alone. If the smell stays, shut the gas down at the meter or the bottle, provided it is safe to reach.
A smell that persists after the supply is closed means calling 000. Your gas bill shows the emergency number for the supplier in the top right corner, under 'emergencies' or 'leaking gas'. Our gas leak repairs page goes deeper on gas faults.
Where Your Own Part Ends in an Emergency
A licensed gasfitter is the only person who may do gas work, which includes repairs, servicing, testing and certification. A licensed plumber mends a broken pipe or clears a blocked sanitary drain. You close the valves; we do the fixing.
The law treats both pipe repairs and drain clears as minor work. A licensee does them without needing a permit or a Form 4 first, so the fix can start as soon as you call. A Form 4 is the notice lodged with the QBCC when notifiable work finishes, and minor work skips it entirely.
Dripping Taps Wait, Burst Pipes Do Not
A leak contained at one fixture will keep until a scheduled visit. A gas smell, sewage rising, or water you cannot shut off needs the phone now, no matter the day or hour. Isolate first, then decide.
A weeping mixer or a slow sink will still be there tomorrow. Rentals follow the emergency list in tenancy law rather than a gut call. A hidden leak that shows up only on your water account sits in different territory again, and our leak detection page deals with finding it.
Night Calls in a Young Suburb
At the last census, 24.9 per cent of homes here were owned outright and 34.4 per cent had a mortgage. Plenty of the rest are rentals, so tenants and landlords both end up ringing after hours. The median age of 34 means young households that spot a failed hot water tank the moment the shower runs cold.
Two local patterns shape night calls here.
Bellmere's estate sewers rely on pump stations to lift the flow, so a storm that cuts power to one can send effluent rising through the lowest gully traps it serves. Homes on Riverwood Drive and nearby flood-planning streets such as Hollywood Avenue cop prolonged rain that works gullies and yard drains hard.

Questions Bellmere Homes Ask in a Crisis
Call (07) 3523 6417What counts as a plumbing emergency in Bellmere?
Gas trouble, flooding, a burst pipe, a major leak, a supply that has failed, and a broken or blocked toilet all count. A failed essential service or appliance counts too. In a rental, the tenancy law's list decides, and any repair off that list is routine.
Should I call a plumber now or wait until morning?
Shut the fault down first, then judge it. A contained drip or a slow sink will keep overnight. Gas, sewage or water you cannot stop means ringing now, whatever the clock says.
I rent, who do I call for an emergency repair?
Call the emergency contact named on your tenancy agreement the moment you notice the problem. Telling them by phone or in person is sufficient. The tenancy law's emergency list then decides how fast the repair must happen.
What decides the cost of an emergency repair in Bellmere?
Two things drive the price: what has broken, and how easily we can reach the pipe or fitting. The figure is set by a fixed quote before any work starts, so nothing moves after that.
Who can repair a gas leak in Bellmere?
A licensed gasfitter alone. Gas work takes in the repairs, the testing and the sign-off, and nobody else may touch it. Close the supply at the gas meter or bottle first, then call for help.
