24/7 Rapid Emergency Response
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Not every plumbing issue needs a same-day call-out, but some can't wait. We treat the following as priority emergencies:
- Burst or split pipes, especially where water is entering the house
- A geyser leaking or flooding a ceiling or cupboard
- Complete loss of water supply to a home or business
- Sewage backing up into a bath, shower or toilet
- A main stopcock or meter that won't shut off
Smell gas? That's not a plumbing call — leave the property, don't switch anything electrical on or off, and contact your gas supplier or the fire department immediately. Once it's safe, we can attend to any related pipework.
What to do while you wait for us
If you can safely reach it, shutting the main stopcock (usually near your water meter) stops the flow while we're on the way. Move electrical appliances away from water and, if a geyser is involved, switch off its isolator at the distribution board. Our full burst pipe guide walks through this step by step.
Our emergency process
You call or WhatsApp our emergency line and describe what's happening. We give you an honest arrival estimate and confirm any call-out charge upfront — no guessing games once we're on site. The attending plumber diagnoses the fault, confirms the repair cost before starting, and doesn't leave until the site is safe and reasonably clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an after-hours call-out charge?
Any after-hours call-out charge is confirmed with you by phone before we dispatch a plumber, so there's no surprise on arrival.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the main stopcock if you can reach it safely, move valuables and electronics away from water, and switch off the electrical isolator for any affected geyser. See our burst pipe guide for a full checklist.
Do you handle gas leaks?
Gas leaks are a safety issue first — leave the property and contact your gas supplier or the fire department immediately. We can repair or reinstall any plumbing or pipework once the area has been declared safe.
