We work fast, clean and with your safety as the top priority—helping you avoid long-term damage and costly downtime.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency includes any issue that risks property damage, health hazards or immediate disruption. Common examples are burst pipes, sewage backups, leaking toilets, overflowing drains, or hot water failures. If it poses a safety risk or could cause major damage, it’s considered an emergency and should be addressed straight away.
Can I turn off the water myself during an emergency?
Yes, turning off your main water supply can help prevent further damage before the plumber arrives. Locate your water meter or shut-off valve—usually found near the front boundary or under the kitchen sink. If you're unsure where it is, ask your plumber to show you during your next visit.
How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive?
Response times depend on the time of day and location, but many emergency plumbers aim to be onsite within an hour for urgent cases. It’s always best to call and explain the issue clearly—this helps prioritise the callout and ensures the plumber arrives with the right tools and parts.
