What Counts as an Emergency Call?
Anything doing damage right now, or about to, is an emergency. The calls that cannot sit until daylight look like this:
A burst pipe or split fitting pouring water through the house
A burst pipe or split fitting pouring water through the house
sewer overflowing
A sewer overflowing or backing up into showers and laundries
stormwater line surcharging
A stormwater line surcharging mid-downpour
hot water system
A hot water system that has failed outright
leak you cannot find
A leak you cannot find and cannot stop
Slow drains, dripping taps and planned work are daytime jobs. They still get booked, just through the drain services list or the relevant page, and never at the after-hours rate.
Burst Pipe? Shut the Water Off First
Water from a split pipe does its worst in the first few minutes, so the order you do things matters:
- 1
Stop the supply
Turn off the main stop tap, which is normally beside your water meter near the street.
- 2
Drain the pressure
Open the lowest garden tap so the pipe empties outside instead of through your ceiling.
- 3
Keep clear of power
If water is near power points or the switchboard, leave the fittings alone and stand back from wet carpet near anything plugged in.
- 4
Move what water ruins
Get bedding, boxes and electronics off the wet path while the pipe is still closed.
- 5
Ring (02) 4063 3469
Describe what has let go and we confirm the address plus anything still worth doing while the plumber is on the way.
How Is an After-Hours Job Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
That matters most at midnight, when nobody wants to argue numbers over a wet floor. The figure you approve is the one that appears on the invoice, with nothing added after the event.
Three things shape an emergency quote:
- The fault itself A burst galvanised line, a surcharged sewer and a failed tank each carry different parts and different hours.
- Where it sits A pipe in an open yard is a shorter job than one under a slab or inside a wall.
- The hour Nights, weekends and public holidays attract the after-hours rate, and it is part of the quote you approve.

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
A burst in the public main outside your fence is a water authority repair, so shut your stop tap and report it to them. If the repair needs a licensed electrician before a plumber can finish it, you hear that straight up and get pointed there first.
Questions We Hear at Midnight
Do you come out on weekends and public holidays?
Yes, we are available 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. Calls outside normal hours carry the after-hours rate, which is spelled out before anything is booked, and that is the figure on the invoice. Ring with the fault and we set the next step straight away.
Is a burst pipe something that can wait until morning?
Not usually. Water running through a ceiling or under a floor does damage every minute it flows, so shut the main off and ring at whatever hour the pipe lets go. If the burst turns out to be out past your meter on the street side, we point you to the water authority instead.
What should I do about a hot water failure late at night?
If the isolating tap on the unit is safe to get at, turn it off, then ring. A failed tank that needs a new unit ordered in can be bridged with a temporary one, and the whole job is priced before any work starts. The hot water page covers whether a repair will hold or the tank has to go.
Who do I ring first if I can smell gas?
Call the emergency number for the gas network first, and from outside the house. Do not touch light switches or anything electrical on the way out. Once the supply is off and the area is safe, ring us and a licensed gas fitter traces and repairs the leak, with the work tested before we leave.
