Plumber in Carlton — 24/7 emergencies & leak repair
Carlton has dense apartments, student housing, and high-use hospitality venues — which can turn a small plumbing problem into a fast-moving mess.
We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing and leak repairs with a focus on rapid isolation, clear updates, and practical next steps.
If you have an active leak
- Turn off the nearest isolation valve (kitchen/laundry/bathroom) if safe.
- If water is near electricity, switch off power at the main board first.
- Use towels/buckets to reduce spread and protect nearby items.
- Call us with your suburb, property type, and where the water is appearing.
We focus on rapid isolation first, then a durable repair so the issue is less likely to return.

Carlton emergencies: access, isolation, and communication
In Carlton, the hardest part is often access — keys, building managers, and shared risers. We triage quickly and focus on isolating the right line to protect neighbouring units.
If you’re near Lygon Street or close to the University precinct, we’ll help you decide whether it’s safest to isolate at a fixture, within a unit, or at a building-level point while we attend.

Plumber Carlton FAQs
My neighbour says water is coming from my unit — what should I do?
If safe, turn off your unit’s water isolation and call immediately. Apartment leaks can travel quickly; isolating early reduces damage and simplifies repairs.
Do you service Carlton apartments and buildings after hours?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency callouts and can help coordinate access with building management where required.
Can you provide a summary for an owners corporation or property manager?
Yes. We can provide a clear job summary and recommended next steps, with optional photos when appropriate.
Is a ceiling stain an emergency?
It can be. A stain may indicate an ongoing leak. If the patch is growing, damp, or water is dripping, treat it as urgent and call to organise isolation and inspection.
