Is It an Emergency or a Weekday Job?

Anything doing damage right now, or risking your health, is an emergency. The honest split:

  • Water you cannot shut off, from a burst pipe or a split flexi hose
  • Sewage rising into a shower, toilet or yard
  • Stormwater pouring into the house or surcharging from a gully pit
  • A gas smell, which goes to our gas leak page and the network's emergency line first
  • A dead hot water unit when a baby or an older relative needs warm water

A dripping tap or a slow drain can wait for a weekday booking. If you are not sure where your job sits, call and describe it, and you get a straight answer on whether it needs someone tonight.

What to Do Before the Van Arrives

A burst pipe moves fast, and the first ten minutes matter more than the plumber's arrival. Do these things before you pick up the phone:

  1. 01

    Shut the main tap at the water meter by the front boundary.

  2. 02

    Keep people and pets out of any water near power outlets, and leave the switchboard alone if water has reached it.

  3. 03

    Lift rugs, boxes and cords off the wet floor, then ring and describe where the water is coming from.

Everything from the meter into the house is ours to repair, and the van carries the fittings to do it there and then.

What Happens on an After-Hours Call

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Made safe, then fixed

    The water gets isolated or the line gets the jetter or the eel through it, and the damage stops spreading before any bigger repair is discussed.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

How Is an After-Hours Job Priced?

That matters most at 2am, when the temptation is to say yes to anything. The figure is named before a tool comes off the van. What moves it:

  • Access A burst line under a tiled veranda means cutting and patching; one under the laundry floor is quicker to get at.
  • After dark Night, weekend and public holiday work carries a higher rate, stated on the phone before a van leaves.
  • Parts An emergency repair uses what is on the van; a full replacement is quoted separately with the unit included.

One Building Wave, One After-Hours Pattern

The housing sets the emergencies

The suburb went up in one wave of brick-veneer building between the mid-60s and the 90s, so its after-hours faults come from plumbing of the same vintage. Makeovers in the 90s and 2000s put braided flexi hoses behind laundry and kitchen walls, and an old hose that gives way soaks the floor fast.

Storms and winter do the rest

Gully pits across this creek catchment fill and push water back up in a cloudburst, and the bottom of each sloping street takes the runoff from the yards above it. Low-lying streets near the creek floodplain flash flood in the worst falls. Winter adds the other failure: hot water units past their service life stopping on the coldest mornings.

What Customers Say

I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe.

When We're Not the Right Call

Not every urgent call is ours. A burst on the water main before your meter belongs to Hunter Water, and we give you their number on the phone. A switchboard fault needs a licensed electrician, and a leak at the gas meter or beyond belongs to the gas network, not us.

Where the Emergency Run Reaches

After-hours calls go out across the neighbouring suburbs as well, each covered on its own page:

If your suburb is close by and the job is urgent, call anyway. The worst answer you get is a straight one.

Blocked Drains and the Emergency Call

A drain that stops dead at night may have been narrowing with roots for months. We clear it with jetting or the eel, then the camera follows so you can see the pipe's condition for yourself, because the right fix depends on what it finds. The full drain service list, from CCTV inspections to pipe relining, is on the blocked drains hub.

Do you come out after midnight in Elermore Vale?

Yes. We are Available 24/7, and after-hours jobs carry an extra rate that we name before you commit to anything. Ring (02) 4063 1232 at any hour and describe what has gone wrong.

Is a blocked sewer at night an emergency?

If sewage is rising into a fixture or spilling into the yard, yes, it cannot wait for morning. We clear the line and run a camera so you can see what caused it, then quote any repair before starting.

What should I do about a burst flexi hose from a 90s renovation?

Shut the meter tap first, then call. Hoses fitted in 90s and 2000s renovations perish under their braid and can split without warning, so check under the laundry tub and the kitchen sink when water appears from nowhere.

Does stormwater flooding from the Ironbark Creek catchment count as a plumbing emergency?

If water is entering your home or a drain is surcharging into the yard, call us. We clear blocked stormwater lines and pits so the property sheds what it can. Flooding from a main outside your boundary belongs to the council and Hunter Water.
