When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the last thing you need is to have to wait for a plumber to get there. In an urgent plumbing situation, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.

Whatever the time or day, our certified and quality CBD & North Melbourne urgent plumbers will resolve your problems so you can get back to what you’d rather be doing . Phone our 24 hour team immediately to get assistance with all of your Emergency plumbing requirements, 365 days of the year.

We’ve been looking after clients in the CBD & North Melbourne area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we will do an efficient and clean job.
As well as urgent plumbing, we also do every-day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to fix the leak.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and position a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is positioned on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance straight away. Our urgent CBD & North Melbourne plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
If you’ve got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the pipes.
Do not let a obstructed drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s awkward to have a good clean when the water is not hot.
When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it to be working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Hot water leaks can quickly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it will become more expensive by the day.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our CBD & North Melbourne urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
Large or little, buried in the garden or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your home are a hidden but important part of your daily life. They bring fresh water to your home, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.
Most of the time we do not even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved immediately, to minimise damage to your home, belongings and well-being.
Our urgent plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so contact us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.
Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. They may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have iced up in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into underground pipes. Or there could be an issue with how they were installed to begin with.
When our emergency plumber is present, they can isolate the issues and repair them in a speedy and professional manner.
Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
Many clients over the years have told us how irritating it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.
It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert 24 hour plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving CBD & North Melbourne with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or small.
Why is my tap dripping?
Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts immediately for a very reasonable expenditure.
