What To Do During A Plumbing Emergency

It’s always helpful to be prepared during a plumbing emergency. As such, when it occurs, follow these steps:


  1. Don’t panic
  2. Shut off the water
  3. Assess the damage
  4. Call an emergency plumber


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.

When To Call An Emergency Plumber

Plumbing emergencies can happen day or night, which is why the Cape Byron Plumbing team are available 24/7 to assist you and your property when the worst happens. Whilst not every issue with your plumbing is classed as an emergency, many can result in extensive damage to your property and harm to its occupants if left unattended for too long. If you are experiencing any of the following, it's time to call in our emergency plumbing team on 02 6680 9997 to put things right:

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.

Water Leaks

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

No water

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.

What To Do In The Event Of A Gas Leak

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.

  • Evacuate all people and pets from the property
  • Turn off your gas at the mains
  • Open doors and windows to ventilate the property
  • Ensure no naked flames are lit in the area
  • Make any calls outside of the home in case of ignition

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do immediately in a plumbing emergency?

    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. For emergency plumbing in Byron Bay, contact us today.

  • How do I know if I need an emergency plumber?

    An emergency plumber should be contacted when there is a significant risk of damage or health hazards, such as severe leaks, blocked or overflowing drains, or a complete lack of water. These issues require prompt attention to prevent extensive damage or health risks.

  • Can you fix a hot water system at any time?

    Yes, emergency services are available 24/7 to address any issues with hot water systems, whether they involve electric, gas, or solar units. Common problems that merit immediate repair include complete system failures, efficiency issues, or unusual noises and pressures.

  • What steps should I take if I suspect a gas leak?

    If you suspect a gas leak, immediately evacuate everyone from the premises and turn off the gas at the mains if it’s safe. Ventilate the area by opening doors and windows, and avoid using electrical devices or flames near the leak. Calling a licensed professional to handle the situation is crucial due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and other hazards.

  • How can I prevent common plumbing emergencies?

    Regular maintenance is key to preventing plumbing emergencies. Schedule routine checks to identify and fix issues like minor leaks or slow drains before they escalate. Be mindful of what goes down your drains to avoid clogs, and ensure your plumbing systems are up to date and professionally installed to reduce the risk of unexpected failures.
