What to know about Water main repair
In Australia the phrase covers two different pipes with two different owners. The water main is the authority's pipe in the street, and so is the meter at your boundary: Sydney Water, for instance, states that it is responsible for its pipes, channels and structures that provide services to you and for the water meter on your property. The water service is the private pipe running from the meter to the house, and the same statement makes the split explicit: you are responsible for maintaining the pipes and fittings on your property up to where they connect to the authority's water, wastewater and stormwater networks.

How to choose plumbers in Mooloolaba
- Hire a plumber who is licensed for this work in your area, especially for gas water heaters, sewer lines and new plumbing.
- Ask whether they charge a flat rate or by the hour, and what the call-out fee covers.
- For leaks and drain problems, choose someone who explains the cause and doesn't only clear the symptom.
- Get the scope in writing for larger jobs such as a water heater, sewer repair or re-piping.
- If it's urgent, ask how soon they can arrive and whether after-hours rates apply.

- Are you licensed for plumbing work in my area?
- Do you charge a flat rate or by the hour, and is there a call-out fee?

- Will this work need a permit or an inspection, and who will arrange it?
- Will you need to open walls, floors or the yard to reach the problem?
- What warranty do you offer on parts and labour?
Water main repair permits in Queensland
Some water main repair work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Queensland
Plumbing
Some work needs an occupational licence no matter what it costs. QBCC lists drainage, plumbing and drainage, gas fitting, chemical termite management, fire protection, completed residential building inspection, building design, site classification and mechanical services as licensable at any value.
This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.
