Emergency
Plumbing Services in Melbourne

If water is draining slowly or standing in sinks, tubs, or showers, you likely have a blocked drain. Avoid using harsh chemicals or a plunger yourself, as this often worsens the issue and causes more damage. Call our professional plumbers right away instead. We have high-powered drain augers, sewer jetters, and drain cameras to clear even the toughest clogs caused by grease, tree roots, and other debris. Our experts can pinpoint the exact location of the blockage and thoroughly clean it so water flows freely again. We’ll also inspect your drains and recommend solutions to prevent future backups. Ignoring a clog can lead to rust, leaks, mould risks, sewer overflows into your home, and very costly repairs, so call us as soon as you notice an issue.

Plumbing emergencies are considered situations involving extensive water damage, uncontrollable leaks, gas leaks, sewage backups, or completely blocked drains. Burst pipes, overflowing toilets, and major leaks that can’t be shut off signify an emergency needing immediate attention. Gas leaks always constitute an emergency, such as a potential explosion or carbon monoxide risk. If safe, shut off the main water/gas valves immediately. Then call us right away - our plumbers are on call 24/7 to respond to emergencies and prevent further property damage and health hazards.

If you detect the smell of natural gas or suspect any kind of gas leak, leave the building right away and call us after reaching a safe location outside. Advise all other occupants to evacuate as well. Our licensed professionals have specialised detection tools to accurately pinpoint the source of gas leaks, no matter how small. Never try to locate or repair a gas leak yourself, as turning on appliances or striking a match could spark an explosion and release toxic carbon monoxide. We’ll arrive quickly to evaluate the leak and make all necessary repairs to ensure the safety of you, your family or your employees.

Always verifying a plumber has an active license before hiring them is crucial. Licensed plumbers have undergone extensive training and testing to comply with plumbing codes and safety best practices. They have also met insurance requirements, passed a criminal background check, and demonstrated sufficient experience. Using unlicensed handymen puts you and your home at serious risk for complex or hazardous jobs like gas line installation, sewer repair, and drain cleaning. Our fully licensed plumbers are up-to-date on the latest techniques and codes to handle any plumbing issue safely. You can trust our team to provide ethical, high-quality work.

Preventing costly water damage starts with proactive maintenance. We recommend inspecting all plumbing annually and addressing any issues before they worsen. Routine drain cleaning removes sediment and debris before it clogs pipes—a camera inspection checks for root intrusion or cracks that could cause leaks. Flushing water heaters and checking valves for corrosion helps maximise their lifespan. Leak detection locates any pinhole leaks in supply lines. Hydrojetting clears stubborn drain obstructions. And sealing pipe penetrations prevents moisture access. Our preventative maintenance services evaluate your plumbing system entirely and identify necessary repairs to stop problems before they cause water damage. Investing in regular plumbing checkups saves you money in the long run by avoiding emergency repairs. Contact us today to schedule professional preventative maintenance and keep your plumbing running smoothly for years to come.
