The calls that come in at all hours
Three emergencies dominate the phone here, and all three trace back to how the suburb was built.
Burst braided hoses.
Sudden hot water deaths.
Storm surcharge.
None of these wait for a convenient time. Ring (02) 4063 3438 the moment you spot trouble.
Urgent jobs we take on
Each of these has its own page with the full rundown, including what to do before we arrive.
Burst pipes
Water going everywhere fast needs the shut-off steps first, and this page covers where your main tap sits, why estate-era joints fail, and how the repair is priced before a tool comes out.
Overflowing toilets
A bowl that will not stop rising, whether the cistern is stuck or a blocked sewer line is backing it up, cleared with the jetting and camera gear carried on the truck.
No hot water
Cold showers on a winter morning traced to the element, the thermostat or a storage unit that has simply reached the end of its life, with repair weighed against replacement.
Stormwater flooding fast
Pits and yards surcharging during a storm on the low side of the suburb near the creek line, cleared properly before the next downpour finds the same weak point again.
Weeping and burst joints
Quick-connect fittings from the estate build-out surfacing as weeping joints decades later, found with the right gear and fixed before the cabinet or the floor pays for it.
Gas smells and leaks
Suspected gas leaks treated as first-priority jobs: isolate the supply, test the line and repair it, done by licensed plumbers with the right detection gear on board.
The first five minutes, in order
The steps below stop most emergencies getting worse while the truck is on its way. Run through them in order, then ring us.
- 1
Shut the water off
The main isolation tap is usually at the meter near the front boundary; turn it clockwise until it stops. For a toilet or a single fixture, the small tap on the wall beside it does the same job.
- 2
Drain the pressure
Open an outdoor tap or the bath once the main is off. Water left in the pipes has somewhere to go instead of through your ceiling.
- 3
Kill power to wet areas
If water is anywhere near the power box or the hot water unit, flip the relevant breaker off before you step in anything wet.
- 4
Move what you can
Rugs, electronics and anything that soaks. Then ring (02) 4063 3438 and tell us what has happened and what you have already shut off.

Licensed Local Plumbers
Made Right, No Questions Asked
That matters most at 11pm on a Sunday, when you do not have the patience for a call centre. You get the plumber, the price and the fix in one conversation.
Storms, the creek line and the low side
The emergency pattern here shifts with the weather. Through the hot, dry months the calls are hoses and hot water; when the summer storms roll up the Valley, the low-lying streets near Four Mile Creek Road take over.
When gully traps overflow. Yards that have never held water suddenly do, and pits surcharge across the low-lying pockets near the catchment. If it has happened once, it will happen again.
The permanent fixes live on the blocked stormwater page, and a CCTV drain inspection after the water recedes shows exactly where the line is struggling.
Hydro jetting then clears what the storm pushed into it. Both are on the truck, so the follow-up rarely needs a second visit.
The run beyond Ashtonfield
Emergencies do not check suburb boundaries, and neither do we. The run takes in the neighbours on every side:
If you are over the line and unsure whether you are in range, ring and ask. Emergency calls get looked after wherever they fall on the run.
What locals ask before they ring
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Turn the water off at the meter or isolation tap and open an outdoor tap to drain the pipes. Move what you can out of the wet and switch the unit off.
Is a burst flexi hose under the sink an emergency?
Yes, and shut the isolation valve on that pipe or the main tap straight away. Braided hoses from 1990s and 2000s fit-outs let go without warning, and we carry replacements on the truck.
Do you come out after hours and on weekends?
We take emergency calls outside normal hours where the schedule allows, and burst pipes, flooding and no hot water get first priority. Ring for a straight answer on timing, not a callback promise.
My toilet is overflowing onto the floor. What do I do first?
Stop the cistern refilling at the isolation tap beside the loo, then keep everyone out of the wet. If sewage is surfacing outside too, the sewer line is the problem, not the toilet.
Can you turn an emergency call into a permanent fix the same day?
Often, yes. Most emergency jobs are a failed part or a blocked line, and the truck carries spares for both, so we make it safe, quote the fix and start once you approve.
Do you handle emergency jobs in Chisholm and Thornton too?
Yes. Metford, Thornton, Louth Park, East Maitland and Chisholm are all on the run, and emergency calls jump the queue wherever they fall, so ring anyway near a boundary.
