What Counts as an Emergency?

Something causing damage now, or about to:

A flexi hose split under a basin, a pipe cracked in a wall, water coming through a ceiling.
Toilets or floor wastes overflowing, or the yard gully spilling.
Especially when the tank has flooded its tray.
A smell of gas anywhere on the property.
Stormwater surging into the house or garage during heavy rain.

A dripping tap, a slow basin or a noisy pipe can wait for a normal booking at the normal rate.

Burst Pipe? What to Do Before We Arrive

Turn it off

Close the small isolation valve under the sink, basin or toilet if the burst is on a flexi hose. If there is none, or the pipe is in a wall, shut the main valve at the meter.

Let the pressure out

Run the lowest outdoor tap so trapped water leaves the pipes through it rather than through the split.

Protect the floor

Lift rugs and anything stored on the floor, and roll towels against doorways to keep carpet dry.

Stay away from power

If a power point or appliance is wet, leave that room and mention it on the phone.

Steps on an After-Hours Visit

01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4915 2998 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
Isolate first, fix second
The supply to the fault is shut off and the area secured, then the failed hose, pipe, drain or heater part is dealt with.
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.

How Is an Emergency Job Priced?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

The biggest factor on a night job is reaching the fault. After that:

Where the break is As a hose under a basin is quicker than a pipe inside a wall or slab
The part needed From a new hose to a replacement section of pipe or a heater valve
What else is affected Such as a drain that has to be cleared before the repair
The hour Since nights, weekends and public holidays carry the after-hours rate

Raworth Homes After Dark

Hoses from the build

Much of Raworth went up as brick-veneer project homes from the late 1980s, and the braided hoses connected at handover are now twenty or thirty years old. A burst flexi hose starts when the braid rusts or the crimp lets go under mains pressure, and the flood begins inside a vanity or sink cabinet, out of sight.

Low ground in a downpour

Raworth's subdivisions clear the official flood planning height, yet the land is low and near the river, and the flattest yards drain slowly. In heavy valley rain a partly blocked stormwater line surcharges, and water can back toward doors and garages.

Full houses

Census figures show 2.9 people per household, and a blocked sewer in a busy home turns urgent quickly.

When We're Not the Right Call

A burst main in the street or a leak at the meter itself is Hunter Water's to repair, so report it to them. Power faults and a wet switchboard need an electrician. River flooding across roads and neighbourhoods is a job for the SES.

What Customers Say

I commend them for their very fast and efficient service when we had a burst pipe.

After the Emergency

The night visit stops the damage. A follow-up in daylight can find the cause:

Blocked drains

Filmed and cleared, including sewer overflows and surcharging yard drains

Hot water

Repair or replacement for a tank that failed overnight

Gas fitting

With gas leak checks after any smell of gas

Water leak detection

When the water appeared but the source is unclear

Tenambit

Next door, plus Morpeth and Pitnacree

Emergency Questions Before You Ring

Where is the water meter on a Raworth block?

On estate homes it sits in a small box or on a riser near the front boundary, often beside the driveway. Turn the lever or tap clockwise, or a quarter turn so the handle crosses the pipe. Find it on a quiet day so you are not searching with a torch during a burst.

The toilet is overflowing at midnight. Can it wait until morning?

If another toilet in the house works and nothing is coming up through the floor waste or gully, it can wait for a daytime booking. If sewage is rising, or the only toilet is blocked, ring now; a backed-up sewer only gets worse as the household keeps using water.

Water is pouring into the yard from next door's side. Is that ours?

Stormwater running across the boundary from a neighbour is a matter between the two properties. A burst in the Hunter Water main or a meter leaking before your tap goes to Hunter Water's faults line. A leak after your meter is private pipework, and we can fix it.

Does an emergency visit cost more than a normal booking?

An after-hours visit costs more than one in business hours, and the booking call spells that out first. After the plumber has looked at the fault, the repair gets one set price, and the work waits for your approval.
