It’s always helpful to be prepared during a plumbing emergency. As such, when it occurs, follow these steps:
If it’s a leak that’s likely to affect your electrical system, be sure to contact an emergency electrician to isolate the power source. We also recommend you invest in a plunger, as it’s not only cheap, but it can also be an effective way of clearing
blocked drains. Make sure you don’t use store-bought drain cleaning chemicals as they can damage the pipes. Whatever the emergency is, the best course of action is to call us as soon as possible to fix the problem.

A blockage in your drain can result in dirty water backing up into your property, posing a health risk and resulting in damage. Whether it's an overflowing toilet, clogged sink or blocked external drain, leaving the issue unattended will only result in further damage and the need for costly repairs. At the first sign of a blocked drain, it's time to call in an emergency plumber.
From small, gradual leaks to dramatic burst pipes, water leaks are a nuisance that require immediate repair. Alongside causing damage to your property, water leaks also cause a rise in utility bills, meaning you'll want to have them repaired sooner rather than later. If you have noticed a dramatic increase in your utility bills, or have water pooling in your home or garden, our emergency plumbing team can help with leak detection.
Everyone is entitled to clean running water. If nothing is happening when you turn on your taps, first check with your neighbours and water company to rule out a supply issue. If the problem appears to be isolated to your property, contact Cape Byron Plumbing's emergency team. We will attend your property as soon as possible to identify the issue and get your water running again.
Can you smell gas in your property? Then you may be experiencing a gas leak. This can have disastrous consequences for both your health and your home if left unattended, so don't hesitate to call an emergency plumber to rectify the issue. Our Gas Fitters have extensive experience installing, maintaining and repairing a range of gas appliances, including carrying out essential work on main gas lines. If possible, turn off your gas at the mains whilst waiting for a plumber to arrive.
If the water coming out of your taps is clouded, brown or contains sediment, it isn't safe to use and you need to
call
an emergency plumber straight away. This indicates an issue with your pipes and water supply which requires immediate attention. At
Cape Byron Plumbing, we are equipped with the necessary tools to inspect your pipes and identify the cause of the issue, carrying out effective and efficient repairs to reinstate a clean water supply to your property.
In the event of a
gas leak, there are some steps you can take to protect your property and its occupants whilst waiting for an emergency plumber to arrive.
Once the property has been evacuated, don't re-enter until your emergency plumber tells you it is safe to do so. Gas inhalation can result in carbon monoxide poisoning, so it's important that the leak is only addressed by a fully licensed professional.
In a plumbing emergency, start by staying calm. Immediately shut off the main water supply to minimise damage. Assess the situation to understand its severity, such as any potential risks to electrical systems. Use tools like a plunger for blocked drains, but avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they may damage your pipes. Contacting an emergency plumber is crucial for an effective and safe resolution.

If you suspect a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the premises and turn off the gas at the mains if it’s safe.
