When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you need is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing emergencies wait for no-one. They can cause significant problems at the worst possible time, which is why you need an emergency plumber you can rely on to be there when you phone. We will respond and get there quickly, no matter what time of day it is.
Our Fortitude Valley emergency plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We are prepared to solve your problems so you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge, equipment and components to fix plumbing issues of all types quickly and efficiently. We have been looking after clients in the Fortitude Valley area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we will do an efficient and clean job.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the power panel.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to stop all the water to the residence.
Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your home from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our emergency Fortitude Valley plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Fortitude Valley plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
We recommend attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Fortitude Valley emergency plumbers now!
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it repaired as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know about thiry percent of your household electricity bill is used on hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes damage your wallet, get them fixed promptly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Fortitude Valley emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

The pipes in your residence are a largely concealed but very important part of everyday activities. Large and little, subterranean, within the walls or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
Often, people don’t even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a major problem that needs to be sorted urgently before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
Our emergency plumbers are ready to be on the scene quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might start to leak. If you live in a cold location, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They may simply be old and worn out. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may force open subterranean pipes.
Once our 24 hour plumber arrives, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a prompt and expert manner.
Do you own a busted faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant vexation. Something that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, ruining your sleep.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to fix your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From big to small, our Fortitude Valley emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
If it is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Or knot some string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
We have many years of combined experience looking after the residents of Fortitude Valley. Our many happy repeat clients prove our reputation for expert, quality, economical work. Our team aim to assist you with your emergency and non-urgent plumbing problems rapidly and efficiently.
