Emergency Plumbing in Central Coast, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Emergency Plumbing
- First the water is stopped: the main tap, meter valve or isolation valve nearest the leak is shut.
- Wet carpet and flooded cupboards lead us to the source, a pipe in the wall or a failed hose.
- A burst length of pipe is cut out and replaced with a new section and fittings.
- An overflowing toilet or sewer backup is cleared at the nearest inspection opening, so waste stops rising.
- With no water at all, we check the meter, main tap and street side before opening a wall.
- A hot water system pouring water is isolated at the cold inlet, and its power or gas is switched off.
- If the right part is not on the van, a clamp or cap stops the leak until it arrives.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Emergency Plumbing?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every emergency plumbing job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your emergency plumbing is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local plumbers, not a call centre
A plumber answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Stop the water first, repair second
Call, then find the main tap
Call 0489 271 238 at any hour. While we talk, find your main water tap, usually near the meter at the front, and turn it clockwise. If you smell gas, leave the building, leave switches alone and call your gas supplier from outside.
Make safe, then scope
Once the water is off, we find where it is coming from and tell you what the repair involves. You get a quote. If the full repair needs a part we do not have, a cap or clamp stops the leak first.
Repair, test and next steps
The damaged section comes out and the new pipe or fitting goes in. The water goes back on, the joints are watched for weeping and the fixtures are run. We tell you what was done and what, if anything, still needs to follow.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work across the Central Coast and Newcastle, and into the Hunter Valley, Northern Sydney and the Northern Beaches. Each place we list has its own page describing the housing and ground there. If your suburb is not listed, call and ask.
Do you take emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. The phone is answered day and night, and emergency plumbing is one of the twelve services on this site. Burst pipes, urgent blockages and water with nowhere to go are the usual calls.
What should I do while I wait if a pipe has burst?
Shut the water off at the isolation valve, which is usually near the water meter or where the main pipe enters the house. Switch off power to any wet area if you can do it without standing in water. Then call and tell us where the water is coming from.
Do you work on homes and commercial properties?
Yes, both. A home job and a shop or office job share the same pipework, but access, hours and shut-offs are different, so tell us which it is when you call.
What kinds of hot water systems can you install?
We install and repair gas, electric and solar hot water systems. The choice depends on whether the house has mains gas or bottled gas, where the unit will sit and how many people use it. We talk that through on the first call.
Can you clear a drain that keeps blocking?
Yes. A drain that blocks again and again usually has a cause such as tree roots, a broken pipe or a belly in the line, and clearing it once will not fix that. We find the cause and tell you what it is before suggesting a repair.
Do you do the whole renovation or just the plumbing?
We handle the plumbing, gas fitting, strip out and demolition side of bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations. Ask on the first call what is included in the job you have in mind, and we will tell you which parts we do.
Can you put in the water connections for a new kitchen?
Yes. That covers the sink and tap, the dishwasher connection, a water line for a fridge with an ice maker and the gas point for a cooktop. Send a photo of the existing kitchen and the plans if you have them.
What does roofing have to do with plumbing?
Gutters, downpipes, flashings and stormwater all carry water, and they are part of the plumbing trade. We look at roof leaks, gutter and downpipe repairs and storm damage. Describe where the water is getting in when you call.
What happens before you start a renovation?
The area is looked at in person or from photos, the water and gas are isolated, and the quote names what is going in and what is coming out. If the old room reveals something behind the wall, you are told straight away.
How do I get a quote?
Call, email or use the form on this site, and say what the job is and where. For a simple job a few photos may be enough, and for a renovation the room will usually be looked at in person.
