Common Residential Plumbing Emergencies

When unexpected plumbing disasters strike your home, you need fast and reliable emergency plumbing services.

Here are the most common residential emergencies we respond to:

Burst Pipes

Burst pipes can quickly cause extensive water damage to your home. As your 24 hour plumber in Sydney, we respond immediately with the right tools to locate the burst, stop the water flow, and repair the damaged section before secondary damage occurs.

Overflowing Toilets

An overflowing toilet isn't just inconvenient – it creates unsanitary conditions in your home. Our emergency plumber team prioritises these calls, arriving quickly to clear blockages and restore proper function to protect your family's health.

Hot Water System Failures

Nothing is worse than discovering your hot water system has failed, especially during colder months. Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and repair most hot water systems on the spot, or provide temporary solutions until a replacement can be installed.

Severe Drain Blockages

When water backs up into multiple fixtures, you may have a serious drain blockage requiring immediate attention. Our emergency plumbing team uses advanced equipment to clear even the most stubborn blockages, preventing potential sewage backups.

Gas Leaks

Gas leaks represent a serious safety hazard requiring immediate professional attention. Our emergency plumbers are fully qualified to detect, locate, and repair gas leaks quickly to protect your family and property.

Major Water Leaks

Whether from appliances, fixtures, or hidden pipes, significant water leaks can cause structural damage and mold growth. Our 24 hour plumbing team responds with leak detection equipment and repair solutions to minimise damage to your home.

No matter what plumbing emergency, our experienced team has the tools and expertise to fix it.

Emergency Plumbing Prevention Tips

While our emergency plumbers are always ready to help, these preventative measures can help you avoid middle-of-the-night plumbing disasters:

Know Your Main Water Shut-Off Valve

Every household member should know where the main water shut-off valve is located and how to turn it off. This simple knowledge can prevent extensive water damage in case of a burst pipe.

Regular Plumbing Maintenance

Schedule annual plumbing inspections to catch potential issues before they become emergencies. Our preventative maintenance services can identify and fix small problems before they escalate.

Drain Care

Avoid putting grease, large food particles, coffee grounds, and non-flushable items down drains. These are the leading causes of emergency blockages requiring after hours plumber visits.

Winter Pipe Protection

During colder months, protect vulnerable pipes from freezing by keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air circulation and letting taps drip slightly overnight when temperatures drop significantly.

Water Pressure Monitoring

Excessive water pressure can strain your plumbing system and lead to failures. Consider installing a pressure regulator if your home's water pressure exceeds recommended levels.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Plumbing

Common questions about our emergency plumbing services

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency that requires a 24 hour plumber?

A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses an immediate threat to your property or prevents essential use of your plumbing system. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, gas leaks, complete drain blockages, or hot water system failures. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, call our emergency plumbing line at 0402 706 454 for guidance.

How quickly can your emergency plumber reach my property?

In most cases, our emergency plumbers can reach properties in the Sutherland Shire, St George, and Georges River areas within 30-60 minutes. Response times may vary depending on your location, current weather conditions, and service demand, but we always prioritise true emergencies and dispatch the nearest available qualified plumber.

Do you charge extra for after hours plumber services on weekends or holidays?

Unlike many emergency plumbing services, EKORP Plumbing does not charge excessive after-hours fees. While our emergency rates may differ slightly from standard business hours, we believe that plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and neither should fair pricing. We provide upfront quotes before beginning any work.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?

First, if possible, shut off the water supply to the affected area or at the main water shut-off valve. For gas emergencies, ensure the area is ventilated and evacuate if necessary. Remove valuable items from the affected area and use towels or buckets to collect water. Take photos for insurance purposes. Our emergency plumbing dispatchers can provide specific guidance for your situation while help is on the way.

Can your 24 hour plumbers handle all types of emergency plumbing issues?

Yes, our emergency plumbers are fully trained and equipped to handle all residential plumbing emergencies, including burst pipes, severe leaks, blocked drains, hot water system failures, gas leaks, sewer backups, and fixture overflows. Each of our emergency plumbing vans is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and common replacement parts.

How can I prepare for potential plumbing emergencies?

Know the location of your main water shut-off valve and how to turn it off. Keep our emergency plumbing number (0402 706 454) readily accessible. Consider installing water leak detectors in high-risk areas of your home. Perform regular maintenance on your plumbing system, including checking visible pipes for corrosion or leaks. Have a basic emergency kit with towels, buckets, and a flashlight.

Will my insurance cover emergency plumbing repairs?

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from plumbing failures, but coverage varies significantly between policies. We recommend documenting the damage with photos and contacting your insurance provider as soon as possible. Our emergency plumbers can provide detailed invoices and documentation to support your claim.

What information should I provide when calling for emergency plumbing service?

When you call our emergency plumbing number, it’s helpful to provide your exact address, a description of the problem (including when it started), whether you’ve been able to turn off the water, any immediate safety concerns, and if you’ve attempted any fixes. This helps our 24 hour plumbers arrive prepared with the right equipment.

How do I know if I have a gas leak that requires emergency plumber service?

Signs of a gas leak include the smell of rotten eggs/sulphur, hissing sounds near gas lines, bubbles in standing water near gas lines, dead plants around gas pipe areas, and physical symptoms like dizziness or nausea. If you suspect a gas leak, open windows, avoid using electrical switches or phones in the area, leave the premises, and call both your gas provider and our emergency plumbing service immediately.

Can your after hours plumber provide temporary solutions until a permanent fix?

Yes, in situations where a complete repair isn’t immediately possible (such as requiring specialty parts), our emergency plumbers can implement effective temporary solutions to make your home safe and functional until a permanent repair can be completed. We’ll clearly explain the temporary fix and schedule the permanent repair at your convenience.
