What counts as a plumbing emergency?
If water is escaping, sewage is coming back up, gas is leaking, or you have lost an essential service, that is an emergency and you should call straight away. In practice that means burst or badly leaking pipes, a toilet or drain overflowing, hot water gone in the middle of a Canberra winter, a gas smell anywhere on the property, or water getting near power. If it can wait until morning without causing damage, we are happy to tell you that on the phone and book you in at a normal rate instead.
What happens when you call
A real person answers, not a message service. We ask what you can see, then talk you through the first thing to do, usually turning off the water at the meter or isolating the gas, so the damage stops while we are on the way. You get told who is coming, roughly when they will arrive, and what the attendance cost is before we leave. On site the plumber finds the fault, explains it in plain language, and quotes the repair for your approval before starting work.
Typical response times
Our vans are stocked with common parts, so most emergencies are fixed in the one visit rather than made safe and revisited. Across Canberra and Queanbeyan we generally reach you within a couple of hours of your call, and faster when the job is close to a plumber already on the road. If a part has to come from a supplier in the morning, we make the property safe and watertight overnight and tell you exactly what happens next.
Common plumbing emergencies we handle
Burst or leaking pipes, blocked drains, toilets and sewers, gas leaks and gas fitting emergencies, hot water system failures, overflowing fixtures, stormwater and flooding issues, backflow and cross connection problems, and major leaks causing property damage.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to me in Canberra?
Call 0435 065 221 and we will dispatch the closest available plumber straight away. Most Canberra and Queanbeyan callouts are attended within a couple of hours, and we tell you an honest arrival window on the phone rather than leaving you guessing.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything causing damage, health risk or loss of an essential service. Burst pipes, uncontrolled leaks, sewage backing up, a blocked toilet in a single bathroom home, no hot water in winter, and any suspected gas leak all count as emergencies.
Do you charge a call out fee after hours?
We tell you the after hours attendance cost on the phone before we leave the depot, so there are no surprises. Once on site we assess the fault and quote the repair for your approval before any work starts. After hours rates are competitive and fully disclosed before we attend.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Emergency plumbing covers all of Canberra, including Gungahlin, Belconnen, Woden, Tuggeranong and the city, plus Queanbeyan and the surrounding NSW area. The same team and the same rates apply across the whole service area.
Are you licensed and insured?
Every plumber who attends an emergency holds current ACT and NSW plumbing and gas licensing, and all work is covered by public liability insurance. You get a compliance certificate where the work requires one.
Do you handle both residential and commercial work?
Yes. We attend homes, rental properties, strata complexes, offices, cafes and retail sites. Commercial emergencies are triaged so we can isolate the fault fast and keep the rest of the site trading wherever that is possible.
