Common Plumbing Emergencies

There are plenty of issues that can constitute a plumbing emergency including:

Burst pipes - A burst pipe can cause significant water damage to your home or business. It's important to act quickly to avoid further damage.

Leaking taps - A leaking tap may seem like a minor issue, but it can actually waste a lot of water. Left unchecked, it can also cause damage to your fixtures and furnishings.

Sewage backflow - This is when sewage water flows back into your home or business through the drains. This can cause serious health issues and should be addressed immediately.

Toilet blockages - A bunged up toilet can be a major inconvenience at any time of the day/night.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is considered a plumbing emergency?

    A plumbing emergency usually involves situations that can cause immediate damage to your home or pose a health risk. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, overflowing toilets or having no access to water. If water is spreading quickly or there’s a risk of contamination, it’s best to treat it as an emergency and get help straight away to prevent further damage.

  • How quickly should an emergency plumber arrive?

    Response times can vary depending on location and demand, but most emergency plumbers aim to arrive as soon as possible, often within the same day or sooner for urgent situations. Acting quickly is important because delays can lead to more extensive damage, higher repair costs and potential safety issues, especially with water leaks or sewage problems.

  • What should be done before the plumber arrives?

    If it’s safe to do so, turning off the main water supply can help minimise damage. Clearing the area around the problem and removing valuables can also help protect your property. Avoid attempting major repairs yourself, as this can sometimes make the issue worse. Waiting for a qualified plumber ensures the problem is handled properly.
