EMERGENCY PLUMBING EXPERIENCE NEAR SYDNEY

Emergency plumbing requires the plumber to have a strong skill set of knowledge, an ability to work under pressure to get the job done, and the right plumbing tools on hand. Time is of the essence in an emergency plumbing situation. Our 24 hour plumber teams are equipped with a wide variety of tools needed to handle drains, hot water system fails, or gas fitting issues.

WHAT SAFE STEPS CAN I TAKE IN A PLUMBING EMERGENCY?

1. Burst Pipe

If you are experiencing a burst pipe, locating your water supply and turning it off until our emergency service arrives may just save you unforeseen costs. Limiting the plumbing service by turning off the water mains is usually the safest play. For emergency burst pipe repair, our plumbers are available 24/7 to assist you.

2. Blocked Drain

If your emergency involves blocked drains, locating and turning off your water mains might be advisable. If you’re experiencing backflow in your plumbing service, turning off your water will inhibit any flow of water from your taps or any toilets that might be flushed while our blocked drain emergency plumber Sydney are on the way.

3. No Hot Water

If it’s an emergency hot water situation and you no longer have any hot water, waiting for our emergency plumbers to arrive is probably your only option. 

If your hot water heater has sprung a leak, be careful of the hot water that may be escaping from the hot water tank. Use towels and buckets to collect the water leaks where possible but remember you’re dealing with hot water, safety above all else. Our local 24 hour plumber near you will assess the situation and make sure everyone is safe before proceeding to fix your plumbing issues. Rest assured, you’re in safe hands, we deliver great service at every turn.

Hot water systems that require a gas connection should be treated with care. In some cases, turning off your gas supply in an emergency may be appropriate. When you contact our emergency plumber Sydney, they will advise you on the best action forward.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.

How much does an emergency plumber cost in Sydney?

Emergency plumbing costs in Sydney vary because no two situations are the same. Factors like the type of issue, access, time required, and the condition of your plumbing all play a role.

Our emergency plumbers are available after hours, on weekends, and during holidays to support the Sydney community when problems can’t wait. Rather than giving a rough phone estimate that may be inaccurate, our technicians assess the issue on site and clearly explain your options before starting any work. That way, you know exactly what you’re dealing with – no guesswork, no pressure.

How much do plumbers charge per hour after hours?

After Hours plumbing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Emergency work often requires immediate response, and experienced technicians who are available outside normal business hours.

At Network Plumbing, we focus on transparency rather than generic hourly figures. Our technicians assess the situation in person and explain the scope of work before proceeding, so pricing reflects what’s actually required – not an assumption made over the phone.

How much for emergency drain unblocking?

Emergency drain blockages can range from simple obstructions to more complex issues like tree roots or collapsed pipes. Because of this, costs vary significantly.

Instead of quoting blindly, our Sydney technicians inspect the drain on site and identify the true cause before recommending the right solution. This ensures the blockage is cleared properly and helps prevent repeat issues. Saving you stress and unnecessary expense down the track.

 

Why would I need an emergency plumber?

You’d need an emergency plumber when a plumbing issue is putting your home, health, or safety at risk. A burst pipe, severe leak, sewage backup, overflowing toilet, or complete loss of water.

Many Sydney homes have ageing pipes, tree roots, or older drainage systems, meaning small issues can escalate quickly. Acting early can prevent serious water damage, mould growth, and costly repairs. If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, it’s always better to call and get professional guidance before the situation worsens.

Is emergency plumbing covered by insurance?

Emergency plumbing may be covered by insurance if the damage was sudden and accidental, such as a burst pipe causing water damage. However, most insurers won’t cover issues caused by wear and tear, poor maintenance, or long-term leaks.

Every policy is different, so it’s best to check your individual coverage. If required, our team can provide detailed documentation, photos, or reports to support an insurance claim once the issue has been assessed.

How much should it cost to clear a blocked drain?

The cost to clear a blocked drain depends on factors like access, severity, and whether specialised tools such as CCTV cameras or high-pressure water jetting are required.

Instead of offering blanket pricing, our approach is to assess the drain properly and explain the options clearly before work begins. This ensures you’re paying for the right fix, not a temporary patch.

Is professional drain cleaning worth it?

Yes – especially if blockages are recurring or severe. DIY solutions may offer short term relief but often fail to remove the underlying cause.

Professional drain cleaning allows us to fully clear the line, identify contributing factors, and help prevent future issues. For many Sydney homeowners, this proactive approach saves stress, time, and money in the long run.

How can I unclog my main drain line?

Minor surface clogs may respond to plungers or enzyme cleaners, but main drain line blockages usually require professional equipment. If multiple fixtures are slow or backing up, the problem is likely beyond a simple DIY fix.

Attempting home remedies on a main sewer line can worsen the issue or damage pipes. In these cases, it’s best to have a licensed Sydney plumber assess and resolve it safely.

What are the signs of a main sewer clog?

Common signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds, slow toilets, foul smells, or sewage appearing in low points like floor wastes or laundry sinks.

If more than one fixture is affected, it’s often a sign the main sewer line is involved and professional assessment is needed.

Does boiling water unclog drains?

Boiling water may help dissolve minor grease build up in kitchen sinks, but it’s rarely effective for serious blockages and can damage certain pipe materials.

For recurring or severe clogs, professional drain cleaning is safer and far more effective.

Who is responsible for blocked main drains?

In Sydney, homeowners are generally responsible for plumbing from the house to the property boundary. Sydney Water manages the public sewer beyond that point.

If a blockage occurs, determining where it’s located is key. Our plumbers can assess the drain and help identify responsibility so the issue is handled correctly.
