What Counts as an Emergency
Water damage compounds by the hour, so the rule is simple: if water is moving where it should not be, or a fixture has stopped working entirely, ring now rather than guessing.
The three calls we treat as emergencies every time:
Burst pipes and burst flexi hoses
Overflowing toilets
No hot water at all
There is a grey band below that, and honest advice about it lives further down this page. A tap that drips is a booking; a tap that will not turn off is a phone call today.
The Calls That Come in at All Hours
Each of the three emergencies has its own page, with the first-five-minutes steps spelled out. Pick the one that matches what is happening at your place:
Burst Pipes and Burst Hoses
Mid-century copper and galv lines corrode and estate flexi hoses hit their use-by age, and either can flood a laundry fast, so the burst pipes page opens with the five-minute checklist.
Overflowing Toilets
A toilet pushing sewage over the rim usually means a blocked sewer line, and treed older streets cop it hardest, so the overflowing toilet page starts with the shut-off steps.
No Hot Water at All
A unit delivering nothing at all counts as an emergency, and with so much original stock still running here those calls are common, so the no hot water page lists the checks first.
Urgent, but Not an Emergency
A gurgling drain, a gas smell or a drowning stormwater pit all feel urgent at 9pm without being emergencies, so ring, describe it, and we will tell you straight up.
Why the Emergencies Here Look the Way They Do
The calls are not random, and the ground explains a good share of them.

While You Wait for the Plumber
The steps below are worth knowing before anything goes wrong, because the first five minutes decide how much of the damage bill you avoid. Each one takes seconds once you know where the fittings are.
Know your meter tap
Know your hot water isolators
Keep the downstream taps open
Move the soft stuff first
If a shut-off will not budge, that is a job in itself, and the water meter installation page covers replacing seized taps and meters.

We work the 2320 postcode and the suburbs on either side of it, and emergency calls from anywhere on that map get the same priority treatment. The adjoining suburbs each have their own page:
Emergency Questions, Answered
What should I do in the first five minutes of a burst pipe?
Shut the water off at the meter out near the front boundary, open the downstream taps to drain the pipes, move what you can, then ring us.
Is a burst flexi hose really an emergency?
Yes. A burst braided hose can dump water for hours while nobody is home, and the flood costs far more than the fix, so treat any weeping or bulging hose as urgent.
Does the $0 call out apply after hours?
The trip out to your place costs nothing whatever time you ring, and you only pay for work you approve once the quote is in your hands.
Can a blocked drain wait until morning?
A slow drain can wait; water rising through a floor waste or gully cannot, and a gurgling toilet before a storm is urgent, because surcharge on flat ground floods fast.
How fast can you get here?
Priority calls get worked into the day's run, same-day where the schedule allows, and this suburb sits right on our regular route, so we are usually closer than you think.
Do emergencies cost more than booked jobs?
No. Every job starts with a $0 call out and a clear quote before work begins, and what you approve is what you pay, or we shake hands and part ways.
