What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Call us straight away if you have:
A burst pipe: water flowing that you can’t stop.
A gas leak: you can smell gas or suspect a leak.
Sewage overflow: sewage coming up through toilets, sinks or drains.
Major water leaks or flooding: water causing damage inside your home.
A leaking hot water system near electrics: water and electricity don’t mix.
No hot water in winter.
A blocked toilet when it’s your only toilet.
Complete loss of water supply that isn’t a Water Corporation outage.
What can usually wait until business hours
A slow drain with no sewage, a dripping tap, a toilet that leaks but doesn’t overflow, low water pressure, or a hot water system that isn’t working but isn’t leaking. Turn off the affected fixture and book us in. Not sure? Call and we’ll tell you whether it can wait.
What to do while you wait
Turn off the water at the main shut-off valve, usually at the front of the property.
Smell gas? Turn off the gas at the meter. If life or property is under threat, call 000. To report a natural gas leak, call ATCO Gas on 13 13 52.
Water near electrics? Turn off the power at the main switchboard.
Contain the water with towels, buckets and pans.
Move valuables and furniture away from the affected area.
Stop using affected fixtures: no flushing, taps or connected appliances.
No water to the whole street, or a burst main in the verge? That’s Water Corporation’s network: call them on 13 13 75.
