Which Problems Need a Plumber Tonight?
Some faults can sit until the morning. These cannot:
Water spraying from a pipe
Sewage coming back inside
A smell of gas
No hot water in a cold snap
Water coming in with a storm
If you cannot tell whether yours can wait, ring anyway. A short description is enough for the plumber to help you sort urgent from not.
Burst Pipe? Your First Four Moves
Water damage spreads for as long as the pipe keeps running, so what you do before we get there counts:
- 1
Close the supply
The main stop tap sits beside the water meter. If the leak is coming from the hot water system, the cold isolation valve on the unit also stops it.
- 2
Make the power safe
If water has reached a power point or an appliance, flip the main switch at the board, provided you are standing somewhere dry.
- 3
Lift things clear
Rugs, boxes and electrical items come off the wet floor while you wait.
- 4
Ring and describe the spot
Knowing whether the leak shows in a wall, a ceiling or the yard tells us which fittings and pipe to load.
Wet paths, dry house. Century-old pipe beneath the original streets can give way where it runs below old concrete paths, so a path seeping water with nothing leaking indoors can still be a burst.

"I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe." Joan
Why Urgent Faults Happen Here
Old service pipe, sudden failure
Newer homes, a different weak point
Weather adds to it
From Ring to Repaired
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 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 repair
The plumber shuts off the water or gas at the nearest valve, replaces the failed length or fitting and pressure-tests it.
- 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 Sets the Price of an Urgent Job?
It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Nights and weekends are the exception, and that charge is named on the phone before you book.
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. In the middle of a flood, a firm number is one less thing to worry about. The quote moves with:
- Where the fault sits A pipe beneath the boards of an old cottage takes longer to reach than a tap in the laundry.
- The pipe material Rusted galvanised steel may need a length replaced rather than a clamp.
- Parts Standard valves, hoses and fittings travel on the van, and anything else is priced before it is ordered.
- A second weak spot Another corroded joint found beside the burst is priced on its own, and you choose whether it is done.
When We're Not the Right Call
A leak between the street main and your meter belongs to Hunter Water's network, and their faults line comes first for that stretch because the main also feeds the neighbours. A switchboard or power point that has taken water needs an electrician to check it before the power goes back on.
Planned Work Behind the Urgent Calls
Greta Plumbing Co also does the planned side of the trade, and a fault fixed early can head off the next emergency:
- Drain clearing and camera checks for chokes before they spill
- Hot water repair or replacement when the cylinder is failing
- Licensed gas fitting for appliances and leak repairs
- Tracing hidden water leaks behind walls and under floors
Out past the town grid, the same hours apply in Leconfield, Luskintyre and Harpers Hill.
After-Hours Questions
Will a plumber come out to Greta in the middle of the night?
Yes. Available 24/7, Sunday nights and long weekends too. Outside business hours a higher after-hours charge applies, and the plumber names it on the call so you can decide before anyone drives over.
A flexi hose has burst in my Wyndham Ridge home. What do I do first?
Close the stop tap beside the meter, or the little valve where the hose joins the pipe under the basin, then ring. A braided hose that splits can soak a floor quickly, so shutting off the supply is the step that matters.
Is sewage in the shower of an old cottage an emergency?
Yes. When waste backs up into a shower or out of the gully, the earthenware branch under the house has choked, and it keeps rising while water is used. Stop running taps, keep people clear, and ring so the line can be opened and filmed.
What does an emergency call-out cost?
It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Night and weekend visits carry their own charge, quoted before booking. The repair itself is a fixed price you agree to once the plumber has seen it.
