We work across the whole locality, from the shops on Bribie Island Road out to the acreage past Relesah Drive. Repairs on the sandy flats near Ningi Creek often mean a wet trench, so we quote the access honestly before we dig.
Water Pipe Faults We Repair
The faults we get called to are leaks at worn joints and corroded pipe, splits and bursts, failed flexi hoses, and hidden leaks under a slab or driveway. Each one gets a page of its own, so start where your problem sits:
Leaks and corroded pipe
wear and corrosion, high water pressure, and ground or root movement start most of them. Our leak detection page explains how we trace a hidden leak.
Splits and bursts
a burst line floods fast. Go to burst pipe repairs for what to do first.
Flexi hoses
a braided hose under a sink or basin often fails before the pipe does, so we check them on every visit.
Hidden leaks
a concealed leak can sit underground, under a driveway or inside a wall, and waste thousands of litres of water a day before a big bill or damage gives it away.
Tank and pump lines
rural blocks run their own supply gear, covered on our rainwater tank plumbing and water tank pump pages.
Aged pipework earns a closer look too. Lead-based solder on brass fittings and copper pipe was common across Australia until 1989, so a service pipe installed before then gets a proper condition check.
Salt air shortens the clock on exposed fittings here as well, more so on the Passage side streets. We replace corroded fittings before they split rather than after.
How to Check a Plumber's Licence
Regulated plumbing work, water pipe repairs included, must be done by a QBCC licensed plumber. The QBCC issues both licence classes a tradesperson needs: an occupational licence to do the work, and a contractor licence to take jobs on as a business.
Checking takes a few minutes online. The QBCC's public registers let you look up any plumber by name or number and confirm both licences are current. The same registers show whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your property after notifiable work, so you can verify the paper trail yourself.
Our licence number is QBCC No: 15024607, and you are welcome to check it before you book.
Which Pipes Belong to the Owner
The water utility owns the pipe from the main to your meter, and every pipe and fitting from the meter onto the property belongs to you as the owner. Your meter sits in a small box flush with the ground, in the strip between the road and your boundary, and that box is where your responsibility starts.
The split matters when a leak appears. A leak before the meter belongs to the utility, so you report it and they send their own crew. Everything from the meter inward, including a buried leak under a lawn or slab, is the owner's to repair and pay for.
Water Pipe Faults That Cannot Wait
Water that will not stop, a burst water service, and a serious leak on the supply line are the faults that cannot wait. On a Queensland rental, the tenancy rules list a burst water service as an emergency, and a serious leak on the supply line counts too.
Everything else suits a planned visit. A weeping joint or a slow drip at a fitting wastes water but holds together, so book a time and let us bring the right fittings. Ring (07) 3524 0766 either way, and we will tell you which list your fault belongs on.

We assess the line itself
On the day, we inspect the run from your meter to the fault. That might mean reading the meter dial with the taps off, opening a valve pit near the boundary, or tracing the line across a garden bed. Where the ground near the creek runs wet, we check whether the water is a pipe leak or groundwater before anyone digs.

Water Pipe Questions From Ningi Homes
Call (07) 3524 0766Who owns the water pipes at my Ningi place?
The water utility looks after the pipe between the street main and your meter, along with the meter itself. Every pipe and tap after the meter sits on your side of the books, so leaks and repairs on your land are yours to arrange.
Can I fix a broken water pipe myself?
No, you cannot. Repairing a broken or damaged pipe is minor work under Queensland's plumbing rules, so a licensed plumber carries it out. Only the smallest jobs, like swapping a tap washer, sit outside the regulated list.
Which water pipe faults count as emergencies?
Water you cannot shut off, water reaching a ceiling, wall or power point, and a burst supply line or serious leak on the service are emergencies. A slow drip at a fitting can wait for a booked visit.
How do I tell if a leak is on my side of the meter?
Watch the dial at your meter with every tap in the house turned off. Movement means the leak sits past the meter, on your land. The depth on finding hidden leaks lives on our leak detection page.
What affects the cost of a water pipe repair in Ningi?
Access, how much line is involved, the pipe material, and whether we patch a section or replace the run. You get a fixed quote before any work starts, so the price is set in writing.
Who fixes a leak in the pipe between the street and my meter?
The water utility does, because that stretch of line sits on their side of the books. Report the leak and their crew arranges the repair.
