Leaks, splits, corroded copper and failed hoses all sit on the same supply run, and each has a page of its own here. The Everton Park home page lists the full service catalogue, and the three pipe jobs below get straight to the detail.
Why Water Pipes Leak, Split and Wear Out
Supply pipework fails in a few familiar ways: joints that weep, corroded copper, splits and bursts, failed flexi hoses, and leaks you can't see. Each fault has its own page on this site, so start with the one that matches your symptom.
Wear and corrosion
Copper lines from the 1960s and 1970s build are decades old now, and brass fittings joined before 1989 often carry lead-based solder. Older runs out toward Queens Road reward a check before the weeping starts.
High water pressure
Street pressure above spec works on every joint along the line, and it usually shows up first as a drip at the weakest fitting.
Ground and root movement
Shale and alluvial soil swells in the wet and shrinks in the dry, dragging joints out of line, while roots from mature gardens follow the moisture along a buried run.
Flexi hoses
The braided hose under a sink or basin usually gives up before the hard pipe does, and flexi hose replacement sorts one out in a single visit.
Splits and bursts
Burst pipe repairs covers the dramatic end of the list, from a line that lets go inside a wall to one that splits underground.
Hidden leaks
A leak can sit under a drive or behind tiling and quietly drop thousands of litres a day until a big bill exposes it, and leak detection pins it down without tearing up the yard.
Who Fixes a Leak on Each Side of the Meter
The split happens at the meter: the water utility keeps the street side, and everything on the property side of that box belongs to the owner. Urban Utilities holds the street side for this suburb, so report leaks out there to them.
The meter box sits flush with the ground on the strip between the road and your front boundary, and that box marks where your pipework begins. Every line past it, right up to the washing machine and the shower, is the owner's to keep sound.
Queensland's plumbing law also asks owners to keep pipes and drains in decent working order, and that duty covers problems nobody has spotted yet. A leak hiding under a driveway or a slab stays your responsibility even while it stays invisible.
Urgent Pipe Problems and Ones That Can Wait
Three signs need help now: water you can't turn off, a burst on the supply, and a leak flooding a wall, ceiling or power outlet. Weeping fittings and slow drips can hold off for a booked appointment.
Rentals and shared walls sharpen the picture. On a Queensland tenancy, a burst service line and a major supply leak count as emergency repairs, so tenants call and owners act fast.
The townhouse pockets add their own twist. A failed hose under a basin can push water through a shared floor into the unit below within minutes, and body corporate managers want the supply off before anything else gets discussed.
How to Check a Plumber's Licence
Only a plumber holding a QBCC licence may legally repair water pipes, because the job sits inside regulated plumbing work. Doing the work needs an occupational licence, and taking jobs on as a business needs a contractor licence as well.
Two quick checks sit on the QBCC site: confirm the plumber's licence is current, and look up whether your address has a Form 4 on file from earlier work. Both take a minute, and running them before anyone repipes the front of an older Felstead Street block is fair practice anywhere in Queensland.

Questions We Get About Water Pipes
Call (07) 3524 7163Who owns the water pipes on my Everton Park property?
You own every pipe past the meter. Urban Utilities carries the street side: the line from the main to your meter and the meter it sits in. Report leaks on that stretch to the utility directly.
Can I fix a broken water pipe myself?
No, you can't. Queensland classes a broken or damaged pipe as minor work, reserved for licensed people. Only a short list of small unregulated jobs stays open to home owners, and supply pipework is not on it.
Do I need a permit to replace the water pipe to my house?
No, no council permit applies. Replacing the supply line to an existing house is notifiable work: your plumber lodges a Form 4 with the QBCC and hands you a copy.
Which water pipe problems are emergencies?
The urgent list: water that cannot be turned off, a burst on the water service, or a serious leak on the supply. Queensland rental law classes the last two as emergency repairs. Anything that only weeps or drips slowly can wait for an appointment.
What affects the cost of a water pipe repair?
Access to the pipe, how much line needs replacing, its material and whether we patch or replace the run set the price. A fixed quote from us locks all of it in before anyone starts.
Who fixes a leak in the pipe between the street and my water meter?
Urban Utilities does. The main and the meter end of the system sit on the utility's side, so report a leak between them straight to the utility. Pipes past the meter are yours, and those jobs come to us.
