Is it an emergency?

What Is Happening Right Now?

Pick the closest match. If water is pouring or you can smell gas, deal with that first, then call 1300 307 903.

  • Water spraying or pouring

    A burst pipe, split flexi hose or failed fitting. Turn the water off at the meter.

  • Toilet or drain overflowing

    Water rising in the toilet, shower or floor waste usually means a blockage further down.

  • Sewage smell or backup

    Gurgling drains or wastewater coming up outside can point to a broken sewer line.

  • Water through a ceiling

    Stains, bubbling paint or drips from above. The source needs finding before it spreads.

  • Hot water tank leaking

    Water pooling under the unit. Switch it off at the switchboard or gas valve.

  • Gas smell or appliance fault

    Get everyone outside first. Joseph is a licensed gas fitter for the repair.

Not sure where the water is coming from?

Damp walls and a meter that keeps ticking can mean a hidden leak.

Do This First

Three Things to Do While You Wait

  1. 01

    Turn Off the Water

    The meter is usually near the front boundary or footpath. Turn the valve clockwise until it stops. In a unit, look for your own isolation valve.

  2. 02

    Switch Off the Hot Water

    If the hot water system is leaking, turn an electric unit off at the switchboard or a gas unit off at its gas valve.

  3. 03

    Keep Water Away From Power

    If water is near power points or lights, stay clear and switch the power off at the switchboard if it is safe to do so.

After-hours help

When Plumbing Cannot Wait

Most plumbing problems can wait for a weekday booking. Some cannot. Water pouring from a split pipe, a toilet overflowing onto the floor or a hot water tank leaking from the base will keep causing damage until someone stops it. Torna Plumbing offers an after-hours emergency service across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast for exactly those moments.

What counts as an emergency

If water is escaping and you cannot stop it, if sewage is coming up inside or around the house, or if there is a smell of gas, treat it as urgent. A dripping tap, a slow drain or a running cistern is annoying but rarely causes damage overnight, and booking it in during business hours is usually the better value. If you are not sure which side your problem falls on, call 1300 307 903 and describe what you can see. We will tell you honestly whether it needs someone tonight.

Making it safe over the phone

The first few minutes matter more than anything else. On the phone we help you find the water meter or an isolation valve, switch off a leaking hot water system and keep water away from power points. Stopping the flow early often turns a big repair into a small one and limits what your insurer has to deal with later.

How after-hours pricing works

After-hours call-outs carry a call-out fee, and we confirm it with you before anyone heads your way. Once on site, Joseph finds the cause and gives you a fixed upfront price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead until you say yes. If a temporary fix is the sensible choice at night, we explain that too, so the permanent repair can be booked in at a normal rate.
