Warning signs
Signs you need emergency plumbing help
Catching these early usually means a smaller, cheaper fix. Spot one? Call our Adelaide team.
Burst or leaking pipes
Water spraying, pooling under the house or coming through a ceiling needs urgent attention before it causes structural damage.
Overflowing toilets & drains
Sewage or waste water backing up into the home is a health hazard — we clear it fast and hygienically.
No hot water
A failed hot water system brings the house to a stop. We can often repair or replace it the same day.
Smell of gas
If you smell gas, turn it off at the meter if it's safe, leave the area and call our licensed gas fitters immediately.

Emergency Plumbing questions
Why emergency plumbing problems are so common in Adelaide homes
These are the questions Adelaide homeowners ask us most about emergency plumbing, answered by plumbers with 70+ years of local experience.
What counts as a plumbing emergency in Adelaide?
Burst pipes, sewage overflows, gas smells, no hot water and major leaks are all emergencies, and we attend 24 hours a day.
Why do pipes suddenly burst in Adelaide?
Years of ground movement in reactive clay, plus high mains pressure in some suburbs, can stress older copper and galvanised pipes until they fail.
Where is my water mains shut-off valve?
In most Adelaide homes it's at the SA Water meter near the front boundary. Turning it off fast limits the damage while we're on the way.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to me?
With plumbers spread across metro Adelaide, we can usually reach you quickly, day or night, including public holidays.
