Emergency plumber for burst pipes and urgent leaks
When water is running where it shouldn’t, the goal is simple: stop the leak, make the site safe, and reduce damage. We prioritise emergencies across the inner north — including Brunswick, Carlton, Fitzroy and surrounding suburbs.
Burst or ruptured pipes
Sudden pipe failure can flood quickly. We isolate supply and repair or replace the failed section.
Uncontrollable leaks
Taps, toilets, and valves that won’t stop can waste water and damage fittings. We diagnose and repair the cause.
Apartment & strata leaks
We triage quickly, isolate the right line, and help coordinate access when multiple units are affected.
Our emergency process
- Phone triage: safety first (water + power), then likely source and access.
- Arrival and isolation: stop the leak and protect floors/walls where possible.
- Repair options: explain the fix and any follow-up needed to prevent repeat issues.

Emergency plumbing FAQs
Is a leaking pipe an emergency?
If the leak is active, worsening, or likely to cause property damage — yes. Even a small leak can soak cabinetry, flooring, or plaster quickly, especially overnight.
What’s the fastest way to reduce damage?
Shut off the nearest isolation valve (or the main water shut-off if needed). If water is near power points or appliances, switch off power at the main board first.
Can you help with apartment building leaks?
Yes. We can triage which unit is likely the source, isolate supply, and communicate next steps for building management or owners corporation access.
Do you attend nights, weekends and public holidays?
Yes — our emergency plumbing service is available 24/7. Attendance is subject to safety and workload at the time of your call.
