WHAT CAN YOU DO?
What to Do While You Wait for an Emergency Plumber
Turn Off the Main Water Valve
Usually located near the front of your property or inside a service cupboard. Shutting it off can stop further flooding.
Switch Off Electricity (if water is near outlets)
Water and electricity are a dangerous combo. If there’s water near power points, switch the main breaker off and wait for professional help.
Move Valuables
If water is spreading, move rugs, electronics, and furniture out of harm’s way.
Don’t DIY It
We’ve seen it all — tape, glue, and even socks wrapped around pipes. Temporary fixes often make things worse. Sit tight. Help is on the way.
Thanks for both of your quality and prompt service! Easy communication and reliable work. Matt resolved and improved stormwater flow for a tricky old reno’s winged-roofs – that other tradesmen had tried to fix. Visually and functionally tidy work achieved. We will definitely use this service again!

Common Plumbing Emergencies in the Eastern Suburbs
Stormwater Overflow
Eastern Suburbs homes often sit on slopes or near the coast, and heavy rain can overwhelm poorly designed drainage. We regularly respond to flooded basements, yards, and garages after intense storms.
Sewer Backups
In older areas like Randwick or Bondi, cracked or tree-root-invaded sewer lines are common. If all your drains start backing up at once, that’s your cue to call us.
Water Heater Explosions (Yes, Really)
Old or faulty hot water systems can overheat and even rupture. If you hear loud banging from your tank, switch it off immediately and call an expert.
