First response

What we respond to
We respond to all plumbing emergencies across the Bayside region at any hour. The most common call-outs we attend include:
A burst pipe can release hundreds of litres of water fast, damaging walls, floors, ceilings and electrics. We attend as the highest priority and isolate, repair or replace the affected section on the same visit in most cases.
Burst pipe repairsGas leaks are a serious safety hazard. If you can smell gas, treat it as an emergency. Our licensed gas fitters locate the source, isolate the supply and repair it safely, in compliance with all Victorian gas regulations.
Gas leak detectionA blocked or collapsed sewer can cause raw sewage to overflow inside your home. We carry CCTV equipment on every emergency vehicle and can diagnose and begin clearing or repairing the cause on the same visit.
Sewage overflow helpWhen a blocked drain is causing water to back up into your home, it becomes an emergency. We clear all types fast: sewer, stormwater, sink and basin drains, and blocked toilets. Our $69 drain unblocking offer applies.
Blocked drain serviceA failed hot water system in winter is not something you should wait days to fix. We carry replacement units for the most common Bayside brands (Rheem, Rinnai, Dux, Thermann and AquaMAX) and can often supply and install the same day.
Hot water systemsWater from a failed washing machine hose, an overflowing bath, or a ruptured flexible supply hose can cause rapid flooding. We isolate, repair and help you assess the damage quickly.
General plumbingDuring a heavy Melbourne storm, a roof leak can go from a drip to significant internal damage very quickly. Our roof plumbers respond to emergency calls and can make the area watertight on the same visit pending permanent repair.

Prevention
Most plumbing emergencies don't come from nowhere. In the majority of cases there were warning signs that went unnoticed. Understanding the most common causes in Bayside homes can help you prevent the next emergency before it happens.
Most commonly: ageing copper pipe thinned over decades, flexible supply hoses past their service life, and tree root infiltration weakening underground pipes. Flexible hoses last 5-10 years, and many Bayside homes have hoses 15 years or older. A visual inspection flags any that need replacing before they fail.
Usually failing gas appliance connections, deteriorating flexible gas bayonets on cooktops, or cracked gas lines behind walls. Cooktop bayonets should be inspected every 5 years and replaced if cracking or brittle. If you ever smell gas, treat it as an emergency immediately.
In Bayside's established suburbs, sewer overflows are almost always caused by tree root infiltration in ageing clay or concrete pipes. A periodic CCTV drain inspection can identify root growth early, before it becomes a full blockage or causes the pipe to collapse.
Most plumbing emergencies are preventable. An annual inspection lets a licensed plumber assess your pipes, hot water system, gas connections and drainage, and flag anything approaching failure before it becomes a 2am emergency. We include a free inspection with every paid job.
Good to know
We charge no call-out fee regardless of the time of day. After-hours rates may apply for labour on emergency calls outside standard business hours. We will always advise you of any applicable rates before we begin work.
Any situation that poses an immediate risk to your safety, health or property should be treated as an emergency. This includes burst pipes, gas leaks, sewage overflows, flooding from plumbing faults, and blocked drains causing water to back up inside your home.
For burst pipes: turn off the water at the main stopcock immediately. For gas leaks: leave the building, do not operate electrical switches, and call from outside. For sewage overflows: stop using all plumbing fixtures and keep people away from the affected area. See the full guide at the top of this page.
