Prevention Tips
- Know where your water mains shutoff is - usually a tap near the meter at the front of your property. Turning it off stops water damage while you wait for help
- Know where your gas meter shutoff is - if you smell gas, turn it off, open windows, and get out
- Replace flexi hoses under sinks every 5 years - they're a ticking time bomb responsible for 20% of all household water damage claims in Australia
- Keep a plumber's number saved in your phone before you need one - searching at 2am when your kitchen is flooding is not ideal

Emergency Plumbing in Coogee - FAQ

After hours, it depends on where the on-call plumber is, but Coogee is always prioritised because it's our home suburb. After-hours rates are explained on the phone before we head out.
Turn off the water at your unit's isolation valve immediately. If you can't find it, turn off the building mains at the meter (usually in the front garden or common area).

Once we arrive, we isolate the burst, stop the water damage, do the emergency repair, and document everything for insurance and strata purposes.

Turn off the water at the mains (usually a tap near your water meter at the front of the property). If it's a gas leak, turn off the gas meter and open windows. If water is pooling, try to move valuables away from the affected area. We'll guide you over the phone.
Most home insurance covers the damage caused by plumbing failures (water damage, mould remediation) but not always the plumbing repair itself. We'll provide full documentation for your insurance claim.
In a genuine emergency (burst pipe, gas leak, sewage backup), turn off the water/gas and call a plumber immediately. Your safety comes first. Let your landlord or property manager know as soon as possible - we can deal with them directly on billing.
Turn off the water at the mains immediately - this stops the flow. Then call us. Flexi hose bursts are the single most common cause of catastrophic water damage in Australian homes, accounting for 20% of all household water damage claims with an average cost of $27,500. We'll stop the leak, help you document the damage for insurance, and replace the failed hose. To prevent this happening: check the date stamp on all flexi hoses under your sinks and basins, and replace any older than 5 years.
