What Is Considered a Plumbing Emergency?

Not every plumbing problem requires urgent attention. A dripping tap may be inconvenient, while a burst pipe can cause significant water damage in minutes.

A plumbing emergency generally involves an immediate risk to your property, health or safety or the loss of an essential plumbing service.

Common plumbing emergencies include:

Burst pipes: Water escaping from damaged pipes can quickly flood rooms and damage walls, flooring and belongings.
Major water leaks: Significant leaks from pipes, fixtures or plumbing connections need prompt attention.
Overflowing toilets: An overflowing toilet can create an unhygienic situation and cause damage to surrounding areas.
Blocked drains and sewage backups: Wastewater backing up into your home or business can present serious health risks.
No water supply: A sudden loss of water may indicate a plumbing fault that requires investigation.
Hot water system emergencies: A leaking or potentially unsafe hot water system may need urgent assessment.
Suspected gas leaks: Gas leaks are a serious safety concern and require immediate action.

If you are unsure whether your plumbing problem is an emergency, call Craig and the team for advice.

What Should You Do During a Plumbing Emergency?

Taking a few simple steps can help minimise damage while you arrange professional plumbing assistance.

1. Turn off your main water supply

If you have a burst pipe or major water leak, locate your water meter and turn off the main water supply if it is safe to do so. This can help prevent further flooding.

2. Keep clear of electrical hazards

If water is near power points, appliances or electrical wiring, stay clear of the affected area. Do not touch electrical switches or equipment in wet areas. Contact a licensed electrician or emergency services if there is an immediate danger.

3. Stop using affected plumbing fixtures

If a toilet is overflowing or wastewater is backing up through a drain, avoid using sinks, showers and other connected fixtures until the problem has been assessed.

4. Take suspected gas leaks seriously

If you smell gas, avoid flames, electrical switches and anything that could create a spark. Leave the affected area and contact your gas emergency service from a safe location. Call 000 if there is immediate danger.

5. Call Geraldton Plumbing

Once you are safe, contact Craig and the team on 0418 934 928. Explain what has happened and we can advise you on the appropriate next steps.
