Not every plumbing problem needs an after-hours call

A dripping tap can wait until morning. These can’t: a burst pipe or fitting that’s flooding a room or won’t stop flowing; a gas smell anywhere near your home; sewage backing up into a sink, shower or toilet; no water at all to the property; or a hot water system leaking heavily or sparking.

If you’re not sure which category you’re in, call us. We’d rather talk you through it than have you guess.

What we fix on an emergency callout

Four situations we're called out for most.
Call 0413 382 125

Burst and leaking pipes

We isolate the water at the main first, so the damage stops spreading while we work. Then we find the failed section, cut it out, and rejoin it properly rather than patching over a weak spot that'll fail again in six months.

Gas leaks

Gas work in NSW has to be done by a licensed gas fitter. That's us. We isolate the supply, track down the leak, and repair or replace the faulty fitting or line. If you can smell gas, get outside, don't touch light switches, and call us or 000 if it's severe.

Blocked drains causing overflow

A drain that's backed up into the house is an emergency, not a maintenance job. We clear it with high-pressure jet blasting, which breaks up grease, tree roots and debris without damaging the pipe.

Hot water system failures

Sudden loss of hot water, a tank that's leaking, or a system tripping the switch repeatedly. We diagnose whether it's the thermostat, the element, a valve, or the tank itself, and tell you plainly whether it's a repair or a replacement.

How the callout works
Call 0413 382 125 and tell us what's happening. If there's an immediate safety step, like turning off the water at the main or the gas at the meter, we'll walk you through it on the phone before anyone's even in the car. Then we get a plumber to you, assess the problem on site, and either fix it on the spot or make it safe and contained so it's not getting worse while any parts are sourced.

Transparent pricing, even at 2am
Emergency callouts, especially after hours, may carry a call-out fee. We'll tell you what that is before we start driving, not after we arrive. Once we're on site and can see the actual problem, we talk you through the cost of the fix before we touch anything. No surprise invoice at the end.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on where you are and what time it is, so we won't quote a number that isn't true for your situation. Call and we'll give you an honest estimate on the spot. We prioritise genuine emergencies over scheduled work.

For a burst pipe, turn the water off at the main if you can find it. For a gas smell, get outside, leave doors and windows as they are, don't flick any switches, and call us or 000. For an overflowing drain, stop running any water and keep people away from the area.

There can be a call-out fee for after-hours work, and we'll always tell you upfront what that is before you commit to anything. We don't add cost once we're already there.

Treat it as an emergency every time. Gas leaks can be dangerous quickly, and there's no safe way to judge severity from the smell alone. Get everyone outside and call us or emergency services straight away.
