Burst Pipe? What to Do Before We Arrive
Close the main tap
Let the pipes empty
Stay clear of wet power points
Then call (02) 4915 2998 and explain what is running where. The plumber on the phone can steer you through the next safe step while the van is on its way.
Which Faults Can't Wait Until Morning?
- Burst water pipes spraying under the floor, inside a wall or across the yard.
- Sewage backing up into a shower, floor waste or the lowest toilet.
- A leaking or dead hot water tank in a house that cannot go without.
- A gas smell indoors or at an appliance. Get out first, then ring.
- Stormwater coming inside rather than sitting in the yard.
Anything not on that list can still be described over the phone, and the plumber weighs up with you whether it needs someone tonight.
What Fails After Dark on This Ridge

Flexi hoses in the Housing closes

How Does a Night Callout Run?
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4915 2998 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
Isolate, then repair
The supply or the line is shut down, the damaged section is opened up, and the fault is repaired properly rather than taped over.
- 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.
How Is an Urgent Job Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- The time of the call Late nights, weekends and public holidays attract a higher rate, and you know it before the van is loaded.
- What gave way A split braided hose under a basin is a short repair, while a corroded steel service under the floor is a longer one.
- Reaching it Old cottages on piers leave crawl room, but pipe under a slab or driveway has to be opened up.
- The fix it needs One length patched on the night, or the whole service renewed later on.
When We're Not the Right Call
Water bubbling out of the footpath, or a council pit in the road overflowing, is Hunter Water's or the council's to deal with rather than a private plumber's. We point you to them on the call, so the right crew is sent.
A Customer on the Night Call
"I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe." Joan
Where the Urgent Work Leads
- Blocked drains - sewage backing up or yard pits overflowing, opened with the jetter or eel and checked on camera.
- Hot water - failed tanks repaired or swapped, with a temporary tank while the new one is sorted.
- Gas leaks - traced and repaired by licensed gas fitters once the site is safe.
- Water leak detection - water escaping beneath concrete or behind plaster, found before anything is pulled up.
Rental homes follow the tenant and agent process, and a fault in a shop or cafe goes through business plumbing.
Common Questions From the Night Shift
Is there anything I should do before you get here?
Turn off the main tap beside the meter, then let what is left in the lines run out through a garden tap. If it is gas you can smell, get everyone out, leave every switch alone and ring the gas network's emergency line before anyone else. Then call us.
Do you really come out in the middle of the night?
Yes. Available 24/7 means a plumber answers and sets out at two in the morning just as at two in the afternoon. The after-hours price is given on that first call, so you decide with the figure in front of you.
Is a blocked sewer an emergency or a tomorrow problem?
A single slow basin can wait for a morning booking. Sewage rising in the shower or the lowest toilet is urgent, because a choked sewer keeps filling from every fixture still in use. Ring, describe what is happening, and you will know on that call whether it needs a visit tonight.
Can you fix a burst pipe on the spot?
A split section can be cut out and replaced on the night when the pipe either side of it is sound. Where a whole steel service has rusted through, we make it safe first and quote the full replacement as its own job, so nothing is rushed in the dark.
