- Smell gas: turn off the gas if it's safe, open doors and windows, don't use switches or flames, and call us immediately.
- Water near power points or appliances: stay clear and switch off at the switchboard only if you can reach it safely.
- Then call 0451 071 272. We can talk you through staying safe until we arrive.

What counts as an emergency?
Call straight away for anything that's causing damage now, or that could make your home unsafe:
- A burst or leaking pipe you can't stop at a tap
- A gas smell, or a gas appliance that won't turn off
- Sewage backing up into a shower, sink or yard
- A blocked toilet when it's the only toilet in the house
- Water coming through a ceiling or wall
- No hot water in a home with young children or elderly people
Not sure if it can wait until morning? Call and ask. We'll tell you honestly whether it needs an emergency visit or a normal booking.
What an emergency call-out costs
After-hours and emergency plumbing is charged at a higher rate, because of the urgency and the time of day. We always explain the pricing before we attend, so you can decide before anyone drives over.
Once we've stopped the damage, you get a fixed, upfront quote for the repair before we start it.
