Turn off the main water supply immediately (usually at the water meter), switch off power if water is near electrics, move valuables away, contain the leak with towels or buckets, then call a licensed plumber for urgent repairs.

It’s typically a blockage in the toilet trap or sewer line. Avoid repeated flushing (it can flood), try a plunger once, and if the water level remains high or backs up elsewhere, book an emergency plumber for mechanical clearing and inspection.

You can turn off the main, relieve pressure by opening a cold tap, and apply a temporary pipe repair clamp or tape to limit leakage. These are short-term measures only—arrange a licensed repair to prevent further damage.

This points to a partial or full sewer blockage (tree roots, wipes, fat/grease) or a mains issue. Stop using fixtures to avoid overflow and call for CCTV inspection and jet cleaning to restore flow.

Anything that risks flooding, health, or safety: burst pipes, sewage backflows, no water to the property, gas leaks, major roof/stormwater leaks, or hot water failures for vulnerable occupants.

Common causes include hidden leaks, a partially closed valve, a failing pressure regulator, or a mains supply issue. If multiple fixtures are affected suddenly, treat it as urgent and get it checked.

Try a sink plunger and hot (not boiling) water for grease. Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they can damage pipes and are unsafe. If the blockage persists, book professional jetting and CCTV to remove the cause properly.

Yes—licensed gas fitters handle gas leaks. If you smell gas, ventilate the area, extinguish flames, avoid switches/appliances, turn off gas at the meter if safe, evacuate, and call 000 if there’s immediate danger. Then arrange urgent repairs by a licensed professional.

Burst or leaking pipes, overflowing toilets, sewage odours/backups, suspected gas leaks, no water supply, and major leaks that can cause property damage. If in doubt, turn off water at the meter and call for advice.
