Common plumbing emergencies

01

Burst or split pipes

Water spraying or pouring from a pipe, often inside a wall or ceiling.

02

Major leaks

Water coming through a ceiling, pooling on floors or running down walls.

03

Overflowing toilets

Especially if more than one fixture is backing up.

04

Sewage backflow

Wastewater coming up through floor drains, showers or the outdoor gully.

05

No water at all

When the whole property suddenly loses supply.

06

Hot water system leaking heavily

Water pouring from the tank or relief valve.

07

Suspected gas leak

A strong smell of gas near appliances or the meter.

What to do while you wait

A few simple steps can limit the damage while a plumber is on the way.

If you smell gas, don't use switches or naked flames. Leave the area and call the gas emergency line from outside, then call us.

  • Turn off the water. Find your main stop tap, usually near the water meter at the front boundary, and turn it clockwise to shut off supply.
  • Switch off electrics near water. If water is near power points or appliances, turn off the power at the switchboard only if it's safe to do so.
  • Turn off the hot water system if it's leaking. Switch off the power for electric units or turn the gas valve to off for gas units.
  • Move valuables and furniture away from the water.
  • Take photos for your insurer before you clean up.

Fast doesn't mean rushed

In an emergency, the first priority is stopping the damage. The second is fixing the problem properly so it doesn't happen again next week.

Once the situation is under control, we'll explain what caused it, what's needed for a lasting repair and what it will cost. If a bigger repair is needed, we can make the area safe and plan the rest of the work at a time that suits you.

Emergency plumbing for businesses

A plumbing emergency at a business has extra pressure. Customers, staff, stock and trading hours are all on the line.

We help shops, offices, cafés and strata buildings deal with urgent leaks, blockages and hot water failures, with a focus on getting the site safe and operating again as soon as possible.

Insurance and records

Many plumbing emergencies lead to an insurance claim. After the job, we can give you a clear description of what we found, what caused the damage and what work was done.

That information makes it easier to talk to your insurer, landlord or property manager.

Preventing the next emergency

Plenty of emergencies have warning signs. A rumbling hot water system, damp patches, slow drains or a meter that keeps ticking over can all point to a problem that's getting worse.

If you notice something odd, booking a regular plumbing visit early is almost always cheaper and less stressful than an emergency call-out later.

Know where your shut-off valves are

The best time to find your water shut-off valve is before an emergency. Take a minute today to locate the main stop tap near your water meter and check it turns freely.

It's also worth knowing where the isolation valves are for your toilets, under your sinks and on your hot water system. Turning off just one fixture can let you keep the rest of the house running while you wait for a repair.

What we'll ask when you call

To help you quickly, we'll ask a few simple questions: where the water is coming from, whether you've been able to turn the water off, whether there's any risk near electrics, which suburb you're in and how to access the property.

Your answers help us give you the right advice on the phone and send the right help.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Call 08 6118 4273 and we'll give you a straight answer.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Burst pipes, major leaks, overflowing toilets, sewage backing up, a total loss of water, a heavily leaking hot water system or a suspected gas leak all need urgent attention.

Where is my main water shut-off valve?

In most Perth homes, the main stop tap is next to the water meter near the front boundary. Turn it clockwise to shut off water to the property.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Don't use switches, phones or flames near the smell. Leave the area, call the gas emergency line from a safe place, then contact a gas plumber.

Can you help my business after hours?

Call 08 6118 4273 and explain the situation. We'll work out the fastest way to make your site safe and operating again.

Will an emergency repair be permanent?

Sometimes the first visit fixes everything. Other times we make it safe first and plan a permanent repair. We'll always explain which it is.

Can you give me a report for my insurer?

Yes. We can describe what we found, the likely cause and the work completed so you can pass it on to your insurer or property manager.

My hot water system is leaking. Is that urgent?

A small drip from the relief valve can be normal, but water pooling around the tank or pouring out is urgent. Turn off the unit and call us.

How do I get emergency help?

Call 08 6118 4273 straight away rather than sending a form, so we can talk you through the safest next steps.
