Which Faults Can't Wait Until Morning?
Some jobs can sit a day without getting worse. These can't:
- A burst pipe or split supply line flooding the house
- A sewer surcharging, waste rising through the shower floor and the gully in the yard
- Stormwater pooling against the subfloor in a downpour
- A gas smell, which needs the gas leak process straight away
- No hot water across the whole house, in the middle of winter
The clearing and repair work behind the first three has its own detail on the drains hub, and unit failures sit on the hot water hub. Winter is when the last two spike, because winter feed water is cold enough to finish off a worn element.
A Burst Pipe: The First Ten Minutes
Water damage grows by the minute, so work through this order:
- 1
Turn off the main tap
The stop tap usually sits near the front boundary at the meter. Shut it fully.
- 2
Open the lowest tap
Empty the pipes so nothing is sitting against the split.
- 3
Cut power to wet areas
If water has reached power points or the switchboard, turn the power off at the board and stay back.
- 4
Move what water ruins
Rugs, boxes, anything on the floor between the leak and the door.
Then ring. The van carries pipe and fittings, so the repair can happen on the spot. A hot water unit that dies at midnight is urgent in a different way; the hub covers repair and replacement, including a temporary tank while a new one is sorted.
How a Night Call Runs
The order of a night call is the same as a day one:
- 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 first
The plumber isolates the fault, shuts the water or gas, and makes the area safe before any repair is priced.
- 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 Moves the Price of an After-Hours Job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
On an emergency, these are the things that shift the figure:
- The clock After-hours rates differ, and the number reaches you before anyone is booked.
- Access Getting under a century-old cottage to reach a split line adds time a newer build does not.
- Parts Fittings for ageing pipework are priced up front alongside the labour.
- What the inspection reveals A clean break is a quick repair; a collapsed clay line becomes a bigger conversation, and the camera footage decides which one you are in.

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 fault in the public sewer main is the water authority's repair, and a board that trips once water reaches the wiring needs an electrician. If you smell gas at the meter or in the street, keep clear and follow the gas leak steps first. When the job isn't ours, you hear it on the phone.
Questions People Ask at 2am
Do you answer calls in the middle of the night?
Yes. Available 24/7 means the phone gets answered day and night, weekends and public holidays included. After-hours rates are quoted before a plumber is dispatched, and nothing starts until you approve the figure.
Is water pouring through a ceiling an emergency?
Yes, and shut the main stop tap at the meter first. In the older cottages here, a split in original supply pipework can dump water fast, so killing the supply limits what the ceiling and floor take. Ring as soon as the water is off.
Does an after-hours call cost more to agree to?
Yes, after-hours work carries different rates, and the exact figure is named before anyone is booked. The number you agree to is the one on the invoice. If the fault turns out bigger than it first looked, we talk it through before touching anything extra.
Whose job is an overflow at the property boundary?
Your private sewer line, from the house to the connection point, is ours to clear and repair. Past that point the public main is a job for the water authority, and the camera shows which of the two has failed.
