Sydney Emergency Plumbing Services

When things go wrong with your plumbing in the middle of the night, it can feel like an emergency even when it's not. It’s tempting to pick up the phone and call a Sydney emergency plumber who will fix the problem right away. However, knowing when to call an emergency plumber and when to call a routine plumber is very important. 


If it is an emergency that poses a risk to you and your home, you need a 24 hour Sydney plumber who is available to help right away. Alternatively, if the problem can wait until normal business hours you can avoid the higher fees associated with an after-hours call out. A plumbing emergency can strike at any time, and often, it occurs when it’s least convenient. Having an overflowing toilet in the middle of the night, running out of hot water on Christmas or dealing with a sink that refuses to drain on a Sunday morning can cause panic to set in quickly.

Unfortunately, the stress and urgency of a plumbing emergency lead many homeowners to make quick, hasty decisions about whom they hire to fix the problem. While you may get lucky just hiring the first person in the phone book or the first result that appears on an Internet search, you could also end up entrusting your plumbing to someone who will cause more harm than good or leave you with additional hassles and stress. Even though you need your plumbing emergency handled quickly, it’s important to still be choosy about your plumber. By following these tips, you can ensure that the plumber you select is a trusted professional and that you’ll receive the best service possible.

Why you need Sydney emergency plumbing

Routine plumbers are available during regular business hours. Emergency plumbers, on the other hand, are on call 24 hours a day and will come to your property at any time, including on public holidays and weekends. Both kinds of plumbers are fully qualified to perform plumbing work, the main difference is the hours they work.


When deciding what kind of plumber to call, there are a few questions you can ask yourself.

1. Do you need to use the affected plumbing fixture right away?
2. Is the plumbing facility essential to the health and wellbeing of my family?
3. Is there raw sewage overflowing from plumbing fixtures?
4. Is there a risk of flooding or water damage to your property?
5. Can you smell gas?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you should call an emergency plumber as soon as possible. Ignoring a plumbing emergency is not only bad for your plumbing system, but it can also risk the health of your family. In particular, overflowing sewage or gas leaks can be dangerous for your health. They can also cause lasting damage to your property.

Qualities of a Sydney emergency plumbing

Who answers the phone?

If you call an emergency plumber and receive an answering machine, hang up. A true professional emergency plumbing service should greet you with a live person no matter what time it is. Having a live person answer shows that the company cares about service and that they want to help you as quickly as possible. Plus, while some plumbers may check their answering machine messages frequently, you always run the risk of your call not being returned until the next business day.

Does the company have the proper credentials and protection? 

Although you’d like to think that every emergency plumber who advertises their services online and in print is reputable, some unscrupulous individuals take advantage of 24/7 plumbing services. 

Knowing that homeowners are likely to make snap decisions to receive timely service, companies that are unlicensed and uninsured often advertise overnight, weekend and holiday services. Make sure you ask the plumbing service if they are licensed and fully insured before you let them come to your home. 


Without a license, there’s no guarantee that the company has the requisite skills to handle your problem. With no insurance, you could find yourself footing the bill if the plumber’s work inadvertently damages your home.

Also, you need to get them serviced at regular periods to make sure the right performance. Those specialists are in a position to correctly take a look at the home equipment and make any tuning or changes if they had to. These heaters are essential to the working of business space so that they need to be in a top situation at all times.

How quickly will the plumber arrive? 

An emergency service that won’t visit your home until the following day is not truly offering 24/7 service; they simply answer their phone all day, every day. Look for a company that will handle your needs as soon as possible, no matter when you phone.

How quickly will the plumber arrive? 

Some 24/7 plumbers are limited service providers who perform only emergency repairs. Look for a company that can return to the scene if necessary in the future. 

Often, there is an underlying cause for a plumbing problem that may need additional work to remedy. For example, a toilet may have a sudden clog in the pipes that needs removed but also have a weak flush due to tree roots in the pipes. 

Top emergency plumbers will provide you with a plumbing inspection report that will detail any other problems that are present in your home and can return to assist you with those in the future.
