Emergency Plumbing FAQs (2025)
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
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/buckets, then call a licensed plumber for urgent repairs.
Why is my toilet overflowing and not flushing properly?
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.
How much does an emergency plumber cost after hours?
Costs vary by time, severity, and parts. Expect a call-out plus labour and materials. We provide upfront pricing after on-site assessment so you know the total before work proceeds.
Can I fix a burst pipe myself until help arrives?
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.
Why is water coming up through my drains or toilets?
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.
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?
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.
Why does my water pressure suddenly drop?
Common causes include hidden leaks, a partially closed valve, failing pressure regulator, or a mains supply issue. If multiple fixtures are affected suddenly, treat it as urgent and get it checked.
How do I clear a blocked drain quickly?
Try a sink plunger and boiling (not boiling for PVC) or hot 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.
Is a leaking gas pipe a plumbing issue and what should I do?
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.
What is considered a plumbing emergency?
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.
