Supply, Waste and Traps Under the Bench
Kitchen and laundry plumbing is the network of supply lines, waste lines, traps and connections serving the sink, dishwasher, washing machine and laundry tub. Each fixture has two sides. Water arrives at pressure through a hot and a cold supply line, and the waste side carries the used water away through a trap.
Under a kitchen sink, hot and cold supply lines pass an isolation valve before reaching the tap. Waste water leaves the bowl via the basket waste, passes the trap and enters the waste pipe. The trap holds a water seal that keeps sewer gas out of the room, and every fixture keeps one.
The private sanitary drain under the ground joins every fixture in the building to the sewer connection. Because each fixture drains through its own trap first, the kitchen sink and the toilet can empty into the same private drain.
The laundry side is the tub or trough, the wall taps filling the machine and the waste line taking the water away. On the townhouse blocks off Riverside Circuit, the laundry tub often sits tight against the machine, so a small leak reaches the floor fast.
Leaks in these rooms usually start where two parts meet: the joints around the trap and waste, the tap base, the supply connections and the appliance hoses. A drip under the sink can hide inside the cupboard for weeks, so check the cabinet floor now and then.
Shutting Off One Fixture, Not the House
An isolation valve shuts off one fixture without turning off the whole house, and each appliance has its own. Most kitchens and laundries hide several of them. Find them before you need them, and a burst hose becomes a five-minute fix rather than a flooded floor:
- the isolation valve under the kitchen sink, on the supply lines to the tap
- the dishwasher's valve on its supply line
- the wall taps behind the washing machine
- the tap serving the laundry tub
A dishwasher and a washing machine each connect through a separate valve or wall tap, so either machine can be closed off while a hose is swapped. When no local valve works, the stop tap at the water meter shuts the whole property, turning clockwise. Check first that no appliance, such as the hot water system, depends on the supply.
Our turning off your water page walks through the whole-property shut-off step by step.
Moving a Sink or Appliance
Notifiable work is plumbing in an existing building that needs no council permit but is reported to the QBCC on a Form 4 once the licensed plumber finishes. Kitchen renovations fall under it, and so does installing or relocating a fixture such as a sink.
The plumber lodges the Form 4 within 10 business days of finishing and hands you a copy. If yours never arrives, the QBCC can provide one.
Repairs and like-for-like swaps on a sink, tub or tap are minor work: a licensed plumber carries them out, with neither a permit nor a QBCC form to lodge.
Apartments are the exception worth raising. A unit renovation can need a local government permit, and so can a new fixture where the building's drain is shared between lots. Ask the plumber before work starts.
Head to the kitchen sink installation guide for what a sink change involves, or the dishwasher installation guide for a new machine.
Tap Washers, Filter Cartridges and the Licence Line
Queensland leaves only two kitchen and laundry jobs off the licence: replacing a tap washer or jumper valve, and swapping the cartridge in a household water filter. Anyone with the right knowledge and skill may do that unregulated work, and the result still has to meet the standards.
Everything else in these rooms is for a licensed plumber:
- swapping or repairing a sink, tub, tap or mixer
- moving or adding any fixture
- running new water or waste points
- appliance connections and their valves
Rentals carry one extra wrinkle. Before an owner can pass the full water bill to a tenant, the cold taps over a kitchen sink or laundry trough, mixers included, are capped at 9 litres per minute. Taps that fill the washer or dishwasher sit outside the limit.
If your rental sits near the new shops on Youngs Crossing Road, check the fixtures before the next lease starts.

Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3523 7172Do I need a licensed plumber to move a kitchen sink in Joyner?
