What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to resolve the problem.
While you wait, begin wiping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove significant items from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary isolating valve will generally be on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a blocked pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Clogged drains can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unblocked.
Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and ruptured. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our same day plumbers will identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.
