What Should I Do Before The Emergency Plumber Arrives?
It's easy to panic when you realise that you are dealing with a burst flexi hose or an unstoppable overflowing toilet, but taking the right steps to help minimise damage while you wait for one of our emergency plumbers can make all the difference.
I Have A Burst Pipe
If it's safe, turn off your home's water supply. Stay away from any water that's near electrical equipment and move your belongings away from the flooded area.
My Toilet Is Overflowing, and It Won't Stop
This is a very common problem that our plumbers see across Melbourne. Many people try to flush the toilet to try to make it stop, but this actually makes things so much worse as it adds more water to the blockage. If multiple drains or toilets are blocked, avoid using chemical drain cleaners as this can also make the problem worse.
I Think There's A Gas Leak In My Home, What Do I Do?
A suspected gas leak is an emergency, and you need to evacuate everyone including pets from your house immediately. Don't continue to use the affected appliance, use naked flames or create other ignition sources. Once you are a safe distance away, contact our emergency plumbers and don't re-enter your home until our team has deemed it safe to do so.

Emergency Plumbing Situations That Impact Melbourne Properties
Melbourne properties can present different plumbing challenges depending on their age, layout and drainage systems.
In older homes like ones in Fitzroy, ageing pipework and hidden plumbing can make it harder to identify the source of a leak without proper investigation. Established trees can also affect underground drains, while heavy rainfall can expose blockages or problems with stormwater drainage.
Apartments and townhouses can present additional access challenges, particularly where isolation valves, shared pipework or drainage infrastructure are difficult to reach.
The important thing is to identify the cause rather than simply treat the visible damage. A prompt assessment can help determine whether the issue is isolated to one fixture or affects a larger part of the property's plumbing.
