What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
An emergency is any fault that is getting worse by the minute or makes the house unsafe:
- Water escaping from a split pipe, a failed fitting or a tank that has let go
- Sewage or stormwater rising into a yard, laundry, bathroom or garage
- No hot water anywhere in the house, with people relying on it
- A gas smell, which comes before anything else on the safety list
If the fault can sit until morning without the damage spreading, it can wait. If each hour adds water or risk, it cannot.
How Do You Know It Can't Wait?
Some faults are borderline, so this is the test we run through on the phone.
- Water is moving A drip from a light fitting or a damp patch creeping along a wall means pressure is still behind it. That needs attention now.
- Sewage is rising A yard gully that bubbles or a toilet bowl that keeps filling means a choked sewer, and it will keep rising. Our blocked drains team takes over the clearing once the overflow is contained.
- The tank has died An old unit leaking from the base, or giving no hot water at all, is likely at the end of its life. The hot water hub covers whether to repair or replace.
- You can smell gas Treat it as an emergency even if nothing else is wrong. The FAQ below sets out who to ring first.
A Burst Pipe and the Water Is Moving
A burst pipe does most of its harm early, so act before the plumber gets there:
- 01
Close the main tap at the meter
If an old tap will not turn, tell us on the phone instead of forcing it.
- 02
Keep your hands off switches
If power points, appliances or the switchboard are wet, leave them alone and keep everyone out of the wet room.
- 03
Lift things off the floor
Rugs, boxes and anything else low down. Under a timber floor, water can spread a long way before it shows.
Once the supply is off, the repair becomes an ordinary job: cut out the split length, fit new pipe to match, pressure-test it, and look over the remaining pipe for other weak spots.

- 03
Damage stopped, then repaired
The leak or overflow is brought under control first, so the figure reflects the actual job once the water is contained.
- 04
Covered for a year

The Price of an Emergency Job
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The hour of the call leads the figure:
- The clock Nights, weekends and public holidays attract a higher rate, which we give you on the call.
- Access A skinny side passage or a shop's back courtyard is slower going than an open backyard.
- The pipe itself Galvanised, clay, copper and PVC take different fittings, and matching old pipe adds time.
- Parts Standard valves and fittings travel with us, but a particular tank part can mean waiting on a supplier.
When We're Not the Right Call
Hunter Water looks after the supply side up to your meter and its own mains in the street, so a burst there is theirs, and we point you to their faults line instead of charging you for their pipe. Anything wrong inside the switchboard goes to a licensed electrician, and a gas smell goes first to the gas network's emergency line. Everything on your side of those points is our job.
What Customers Say
I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe.
Emergency Questions From Cooks Hill
Do you come out after midnight in Cooks Hill?
Yes. We are Available 24/7, Sundays and public holidays too. A night visit costs more than a weekday one, and the person answering tells you the after-hours figure first.
What should I do about a burst pipe before you arrive?
Turn the meter tap off, keep clear of wet power points and switches, and move anything that can be damaged out of the way. If the meter tap is seized, stop and ring us; we can guide you through it on the call.
I rent my flat. Can I still call you for an emergency?
Yes. A tenant can ring us direct when water is coming through. We stop the damage first, text you before we arrive, and send your landlord or agent photos and an itemised invoice once the job is finished.
Is a gas smell something you attend at night?
Clear the house before anything else, leaving every switch and plug exactly as it is. The gas network's emergency line is your first call, not us. Once the network has made the supply safe, we repair and test the fittings and appliances on your side.
