What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Not every fault needs a midnight van. These ones do, because every hour they run costs you money or risk:
Burst pipes and split flexi hoses
Sewer rising through a yard gully or floor waste
A dead cylinder
A gas smell indoors or in the yard
Stormwater backing up toward the house in heavy rain
If you are staring at any of these, ring (02) 4063 3475 now. A dripping tap or a slow basin can wait for a daytime booking at the normal rate, and we'll suggest that on the phone.
Burst Pipe? What to Do Before We Arrive
The first five minutes decide how much of the night you spend mopping. Work through this list in order:
- 1
Stop the supply at the meter
Find the stopcock at the water meter near your front boundary and wind it clockwise until it stops.
- 2
Cut power to wet circuits
Where water has reached a socket, an appliance or the switchboard, turn those circuits off and keep clear of the puddle.
- 3
Empty the pipes
Open a low-side outside tap so what is left in the lines drains to the garden instead of the hallway.
- 4
Rescue the soft stuff
Rugs and boxes soak fastest, and carpet underlay holds water long after the top looks dry.
- 5
Ring (02) 4063 3475
Tell us what has let go and what you have already shut down, so the van arrives loaded for your exact fault.
Available 24/7, and What That Means for You
Plumbing faults do not check the clock before they let go. We are Available 24/7, so the number you ring at 2am on a Sunday is the same one you ring on a Tuesday morning, and the same fixed-price process applies.

From the Ring to the Repair
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 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.
- 03
Made safe, then fixed
The water or gas feeding the fault is shut off, the line drained down, and whatever let go repaired or replaced from the van's stock.
- 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.
What Drives the Price of an After-Hours Call?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure moves with the job, not with the hour we arrive:
- Where the burst is A split pipe under a cottage floor or inside a wall means lifting boards or cutting plaster, which a burst tap fitting in the yard does not.
- Pipe material A rusted galvanised service or a cracked clay branch fights back; modern PVC does not.
- Parts If the van carries the fitting, it goes in tonight; if not, the line is made safe and the part is ordered.
- Timing Nights and weekends are charged at a higher rate, named before anyone drives anywhere.
What a Century-Old Grid Does Overnight
The metal under these streets is tired
A renovated ensuite can still let go at the flexi hose
Legacy gas fittings surface at the worst times
Where Else This Call Can Lead
An emergency call often ends at a bigger job waiting underneath it. The related work has its own pages:
Drains: if waste came up through the gully, the blockage has a cause.
When We're Not the Right Call
Sewage surfacing in the street or a neighbour's yard as well as yours points to the public main, so ring the water authority's fault line. Faulty wiring or a burning switchboard needs an electrician. And a gas smell outside near the meter means getting clear of the house and ringing the gas network's emergency line first.
Questions We Answer at 2am
Do you come out to Kurri Kurri in the middle of the night?
Yes. Ring (02) 4063 3475 at 3am and a plumber picks up. Night work is priced at the after-hours rate, and you hear it before the van rolls.
My toilet is overflowing into the yard. Is that an emergency?
Yes, treat it as one. Waste rising in the yard gully usually means a blocked sewer line, and every flush pushes more out. Keep the taps off and ring us; the camera and clearing gear come with us.
Should I shut the water off at the meter before you arrive?
If a pipe has let go, yes. Close the meter stopcock, then run a low outside tap to empty what's still in the pipes.
Can you bring a temporary hot water tank on an emergency call?
Yes. If a cylinder has failed, we can fit a temporary hot water tank so the showers keep running while the replacement is sorted, and the new system is quoted up front before anything is ordered.
