Choosing the Right Plumber
When selecting a plumber from our directory, consider these important factors to ensure you get quality service at a fair price:
- Check that they hold a current plumbing licence for your state or territory
- Look for plumbers with strong customer ratings and reviews
- Confirm they offer the specific service you need (e.g. gas fitting, roofing plumbing)
- Ask about call-out fees and whether they provide upfront, fixed-price quotes
- Verify they carry appropriate insurance and offer workmanship guarantees
When to Call an Emergency Plumber
Not every plumbing issue is an emergency, but some situations require immediate professional attention. Call a 24/7 emergency plumber if you experience:
- Burst or severely leaking pipes — water damage can escalate within minutes, causing structural damage and mould growth
- Gas leaks — if you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call a licensed gas fitter. Do not use electrical switches
- Sewage backflow — raw sewage backing up into your home is a health hazard requiring urgent professional attention
- No hot water in winter — while not dangerous, loss of hot water during cold months is considered urgent by most plumbers
- Overflowing toilet that won't stop — if the water keeps rising after turning off the shutoff valve, call a plumber
For non-urgent issues like dripping taps, slow drains, or minor toilet repairs, you can usually schedule a standard appointment during business hours and save on after-hours surcharges.
