What Counts as an Emergency?
If water or gas is going where it should not, ring now. Anything else can wait for a daylight booking. The urgent jobs fall into four groups:
- A burst pipe or split braided hose flooding a laundry, bathroom or subfloor
- A sewer or stormwater pipe overflowing in heavy rain
- A hot water cylinder leaking onto the floor
- A smell of gas, where the gas leak page sets out what to do before anything else
Call (02) 4063 3469 and describe the fault. The plumber comes with the right parts for what you describe.
Why Pipes Fail Suddenly on This Coast
Salt on old copper.
Braided hoses past their life.
Storms on a slope.
Tanks that wear early.
Burst Pipe? What to Do Before We Arrive
A burst pipe soaks floors and walls quickly, so act fast:
- 01
Shut the main tap
Find the water meter near the front boundary and turn the valve off. If it will not turn, close the isolation valve at the hot water unit to limit the damage.
- 02
Drain what is left
Run the garden tap closest to the ground so the water in the pipes has an exit.
- 03
Stay clear of power
Where water has reached power points or appliances, keep away, and only touch the switchboard if it is dry.
- 04
Ring (02) 4063 3469
Say what has burst and where, and keep the phone handy while the booking is made.
A split braided hose under a basin can be stopped at its own small isolating tap, turned by hand, which may stop the flooding before the main is off.
How an After-Hours Job Runs
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3469 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Make safe, then mend
The supply is isolated, the split length is cut out and replaced, and the new joint is pressure-tested before the supply is restored.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
What Changes the Price at Night?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
After-hours pricing starts with the hour itself. Nights, weekends and public holidays are charged at a separate rate that is quoted to you on the call.
Beyond the hour, three things shape the figure:
- Access A split pipe in a cramped subfloor takes longer to reach than one on an open wall.
- Pipe type Copper, galvanised and polyethylene each need their own fittings.
- Parts The replacement valve, hose or length of pipe is included in the quote.

One From a Burst Pipe Job
"I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe." Joan
Where the Night Run Reaches
After-hours calls are taken for the whole of Caves Beach and the suburbs beside it. Swansea, Swansea Heads and Pinny Beach have their own pages with the same number, and the night line also takes jobs from Blacksmiths and Catherine Hill Bay.
Questions From the Middle of the Night
What should I do about a burst pipe before the plumber arrives?
Turn the main tap off at the water meter and open the lowest outside tap to empty the pipes. Keep everyone away from wet power points and appliances. Then ring, describe what has split, and a plumber is booked to you.
Do you charge extra for night and weekend callouts in Caves Beach?
Yes. Work at night, on weekends and on public holidays is charged at an after-hours rate, which you hear before the booking is made. The repair itself is still priced as a fixed figure you approve on site.
Is a dead hot-water unit an emergency or can it wait?
No hot water can wait until morning. Water pouring from the tank cannot: turn off the cold isolating valve on the unit and ring. If the cylinder has failed and a new one must be ordered, a temporary tank can go in first.
My yard is flooding in a storm. Can you come out tonight?
Yes, if a blocked pipe on your land is sending water back toward the house, it can be cleared that night. Where the choke is in the public main beyond your boundary, Hunter Water handles it and we give you their faults line.
