Water or gas where it shouldn't be? Call now
A burst pipe, a smell of gas, sewage coming up in the yard, or a hot water unit gone cold: call and a licensed plumber and gasfitter is on the way. We tell you what to turn off while you wait, make the problem safe when we arrive, and fix it there if the part is on the van.
What we come out for
Burst and leaking pipes
Water through a ceiling, a wet wall, a meter spinning with every tap off. We isolate the supply, find the break and repair the pipe.
Gas leaks
A smell of gas inside or at the meter, a hissing fitting. We find the leak, make it safe, repair or replace the pipe, test the line and issue the compliance certificate.
Blocked sewers and drains
A toilet that won't flush, gurgling, sewage at the overflow gully. A camera finds the cause, a jet blaster clears it, and you get a straight answer on whether the pipe needs replacing. See blocked drains.
No hot water
Most units are repaired in one visit; a tank that has rusted through is replaced. See hot water repairs.
Overflowing toilets and major leaks
Water spreading across a floor is stopped first, repaired second.
Stormwater backing up
Drains overflowing in heavy rain, water pooling against the house.
Same number, day and night
The number on this page is answered around the clock, by us. The plumber who comes is licensed and carries the common parts, so most emergencies are fixed on the first visit. In the north and north-east, where the two bases are, we are usually there within the hour; the rest of Melbourne is the same day.
While you wait
- Water leak: turn the water off at the meter, then open a cold tap to drain the pressure.
- Gas smell: gas off at the meter, windows open, no switches, lighters or phones inside. If the smell is strong, leave the house and call from outside.
- Sewage backing up: stop using water in the house. Don't flush.
- Leaking hot water tank: close the cold-water valve on the unit and, for an electric unit, switch it off at the switchboard.

Emergency plumber questions
Do you come out at night and on weekends?
Yes. The same number is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays.
How quickly can you get here?
Usually within the hour in the north and north-east, where the two bases are. Further out it depends on what else is on; call and we give you a time on the phone.
I can smell gas. What should I do?
Turn the gas off at the meter, open the windows and do not use switches, lighters or appliances. If the smell is strong, go outside and call from there. We find the leak, make it safe and repair it.
Is a blocked toilet an emergency?
If it is the only toilet, or sewage is coming up anywhere, yes. Stop using water in the house and call.
