Why Water Pipes Leak, Split and Wear Out
Between the meter and your taps a supply line develops five faults: weeping joints, corroded pipe, sudden splits, failed braided hoses and hidden leaks. We give each its own page below, because each one is found and fixed differently.
Corrosion and wear
Old galvanised line, still common in unrenovated hill-street homes, narrows with internal scale and thins at the joints until it weeps or cracks.
High water pressure
Supply running harder than the network was designed for loads every joint and fitting on the run, day after day.
Ground and root movement
Clay soil near the creeks expands and contracts with the seasons, easing buried joints apart while tree roots hunt along the same lines.
Flexi hoses
The braided connector at a basin or cistern often gives out well before the pipe does; our flexi hose replacement page covers the swap.
Hidden leaks
A leak can sit under paving, inside a wall or below the lawn, quietly losing huge volumes each day until a bill or a wet patch exposes it. Our leak detection page covers how we find them.
Age plays its part too. Copper joints soldered before 1989 often contain lead, so we treat every old line with care when a repair opens one up. And a line that lets go all at once is a different animal again; our burst pipe repairs page covers that end of the range.
Which Pipes Belong to the Owner
Urban Utilities keeps the street main and your meter in working order; the pipes and fittings that run from the meter onto your land are the owner's to look after. Your meter sits in a low box set into the ground beside the road, and that box marks exactly where your responsibility starts. A leak anywhere past it, even one buried under the yard, is yours to fix.
Queensland law also puts an obligation on owners: the plumbing and drainage on the property must be kept in good condition and working order. Whether the place is a brick cottage on Bess Street or a unit off Seventh Avenue, the dividing line never moves from the meter.
Urgent Pipe Problems and Ones That Can Wait
Water you can't hold back, a supply line split open or a major leak needs a call now; seeping fittings and slow drips can hold for a scheduled visit.
Call now
water spreading through rooms, water reaching wiring or power points, a split supply line, or a leak you cannot contain.
Book a visit
a weeping joint, a damp patch under the floor, or a braided hose past its best.
If water is pouring, our turning off your water guide shows the stop valve at the meter while you ring. In Windsor's stacked unit blocks, a hose that lets go upstairs becomes the ceiling problem in the flat below within minutes, so those calls go straight to the top of our list.
How to Check a Plumber's Licence
In Queensland, water pipe repairs are regulated work reserved for a plumber licensed by the QBCC. You can confirm that yourself: the QBCC's public registers show a plumber's licence status and whether a Form 4 was lodged for your property.
The tradesperson holds an occupational licence for the work; a contractor licence is what lets the business take the job on. Both come from the QBCC, and both are checkable before you book.
The paperwork differs by job. Fixing a damaged pipe is classed as minor work: a licence is needed, but nothing gets lodged. Replacing the supply line between the meter and the house is notifiable work, so a Form 4 goes to the QBCC within 10 business days and you receive your copy.

Water Pipe Questions From Windsor
Call (07) 3523 7121Can I fix a broken water pipe myself?
No, you cannot. Queensland puts pipe repairs on the regulated work list, so a licensed person carries out the job. Only a few very small tasks sit outside that list, and this is not one of them.
What makes water pipes leak or burst?
Most leaks and bursts come from corrosion and wear, pressure above the design level, or soil and root movement underground. Age matters as well: copper joints soldered before 1989 often contain lead, which we weigh up on older properties.
How can I tell if a leak is on my side of the meter?
Shut off every tap and appliance that draws water, then read the meter dial. Movement with everything closed suggests the leak sits on your side of the boundary. Our leak detection page shows how we track it to a precise spot.
How long does a water pipe repair take in Windsor?
The time depends on access through a wall, slab or soil, how much line is involved, the pipe material and the parts. A fixed quote comes before any work starts, so the scope is clear before we begin.
Should I repair or replace old water pipes?
Repair suits a line that is still basically sound. When the same stretch keeps springing leaks, the repeat call-outs and labour start to outweigh the price of renewing that section, which is when we recommend replacement.
Who fixes a leak in the pipe before my meter?
Urban Utilities does. The pipe between the street main and your meter, along with the meter, belong to the utility, so report that leak to them directly.
