Unsure whether it can wait? Call us, describe the problem and we'll help you decide the next step.
What to do while you wait
Burst pipe or uncontrolled leak
If safe and accessible, turn off the water at your meter. It is usually near the front boundary or driveway. Do not force a stuck valve.
Water near electrical equipment
Keep clear of standing water near power points, appliances or the switchboard. Do not touch wet electrical equipment or enter water to reach a switch.
Sewage overflow or blocked toilet
Stop flushing and avoid using fixtures connected to the affected drain. Keep children and pets away from wastewater.
Leaking hot water system
Keep clear of hot water and electrical components. If safe and accessible, close the system's cold water isolation valve. Avoid opening covers or attempting repairs.
Tap that won't shut off
Close the fixture's isolation valve if safe and accessible. If there isn't one, turn off the water at the meter. Do not force a stuck valve.
Call 0448 984 771 with your suburb and a description of the problem.

Emergency Plumbing Questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
How much does an emergency plumber cost?
The cost depends on the problem, access and the parts or equipment required. We confirm the call-out fee when you book, then assess the issue and provide upfront pricing before work begins.
Can you come today?
We prioritise emergencies, with same-day attendance subject to availability. Call 0448 984 771 with your suburb and details of the problem. We'll confirm our earliest arrival time.
What should I do if water is leaking through the ceiling?
Keep people away from the affected area, particularly if the ceiling is sagging or water is near electrical fittings. If safe and accessible, turn off the water at the meter. Do not touch wet switches or electrical equipment. Call us for urgent assistance.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the area immediately. Avoid flames and anything that could create a spark, including operating electrical switches. From a safe location outside, call your gas distributor's emergency number, listed on your gas bill. Call 000 if there is immediate danger. Once the area is safe, contact us about repairs.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Our business-hours call-out fee is $50, waived if you proceed with the work. After-hours fees vary by time and day and are confirmed before we attend.
Can I book a plumber if I'm renting?
Contact your property manager, rental provider or nominated emergency repair contact first. If you cannot reach them, follow the urgent repair instructions in your rental agreement. Let us know you're renting when you call so we can clarify booking and payment arrangements.
Is a constantly running toilet an emergency?
It usually isn't an immediate emergency, but it wastes water and should be repaired promptly. If safe and accessible, close the toilet's isolation tap without forcing it. If water is overflowing or leaking onto the floor, call for urgent help.
Is having no hot water urgent?
We prioritise complete hot water failures, particularly when the system is also leaking. Call us to discuss the symptoms and earliest appointment. We'll assess whether repair or replacement is appropriate and explain the price before proceeding.
