What counts as a plumbing emergency?
An emergency is anything causing damage right now, or a safety risk that can't wait for morning. The calls that qualify:
- A burst or split water line, inside or under the house
- A gas smell indoors or near an appliance
- Sewer rising into a shower, floor drain or toilet
- Stormwater surcharging toward the house in a storm
- Hot water gone completely in an all-electric home
If you can smell gas, leave the house first, don't flick switches or light anything, and call from outside. Gas faults are urgent by definition, and the gas leak page covers how that job runs.
What should you do about a burst pipe?
A burst pipe dumps water into the building for every minute it runs, so the first moves are yours. Do these while you wait for the van:
- 01
Turn the main tap off at the front boundary or the meter.
- 02
Open a garden tap at full flow so the line empties into the yard, not the floor.
- 03
Kill power at the board if water is reaching power points or appliances.
- 04
Move what you can clear of the wet, and lift curtains or rugs off the floor.
- 05
If the burst sits near the gas line or you smell gas, get everyone out before anything else.
That last step outranks the first four. Water ruins finishes; a gas fault risks people.
The after-hours call, step by step
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1093 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
Stop the damage, then fix the cause
The flow gets isolated, the burst section is cut out or replaced, and the line is pressure-checked before we pack up.
- 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 on an emergency call?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
"Not only all of that but the job came in right on quote." Steve
That holds at 3am the same as mid-morning. What moves the figure:
- The after-hours rate, spelled out before the van leaves
- Access, since crawling under a cottage floor at night is slower going than a slab
- The pipe itself, with galvanised and earthenware taking longer to work than modern PVC
- Parts, depending on whether the fix comes off the van or needs a morning pickup
Storms, old lines and the low ground
Storms write most of the after-hours list here
The pipe under the cottages is the other half
When We're Not the Right Call
Street mains and the council-side sewer are the water authority's to repair, and anything inside the switchboard belongs to a licensed electrician. We name which it is on the phone, before anyone is charged for a visit.
Where an emergency call can lead
Plenty of emergencies finish on the night, and the cause needs its own job. The follow-up work sits here:
- Gas leak detection and repair
- Blocked sewer clearing
- Stormwater drain clearing
- Hot water repairs and replacements
- CCTV drain inspection, if a night overflow points at a bigger fault in the line
Frequently asked questions
Do you really answer emergency calls at 2am in Mayfield?
Yes. We are Available 24/7, every day of the year, and after-hours calls are sorted by what's causing the damage. We explain the after-hours rate before anyone leaves, so the cost of a night visit is clear before it starts.
Is a gurgling sewer grate outside an older cottage urgent?
It can be. Gurgling from a grate or floor drain means the sewer is running close to full, and a storm on low floodplain ground can push it over the edge. If water is backing up inside, get on the phone that night; if it's only noise in the yard, book a camera inspection instead.
Who is responsible for a burst water main in the street?
The water authority. Anything in the street beyond your boundary connection is theirs to repair, and they run their own emergency line. We handle everything from your boundary inward: the meter tap, the line to the house, and every pipe after it.
Will the after-hours rate change the price after the work starts?
No. The after-hours rate forms part of the up-front figure, named before the job begins, and the quote matches the invoice. If the repair uncovers a bigger fault, work pauses and the new option is priced before anything goes ahead.
