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, including water leak detection plumbers in Sydney, are equipped with a wide variety of tools needed to handle drains, hot water system failures, or gas fitting issues.
WHAT SAFE STEPS CAN I TAKE IN A PLUMBING EMERGENCY?
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.
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.
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.

We struggled to have any plumber who wanted to take on the job. Then Ryan came along. We were quoted on the spot and we were booked in straight away. Matt came by to do the job for us, he was so nice and informative. Professional and efficient and nice to boot. I can't remember the receptionist's name but she knew exactly what I was talking about. So helpful. Thankyou.
Phillip did a brilliant job, friendly, professional, and got the job done efficiently.highly recommended👍
Just had some Downlights upgraded with Network Reece could not be more helpful and professional
Ryan, Phil & Oliver were very professional, helpful & fixed my several problems.
Great work by Oliver Jake and Phil. Everything works perfectly
Matthew was swift to respond and diagnose the issue with our lack of water pressure. Initial estimates indicated the need to temporarily bypass a section of piping until we could locate the blockage before performing a more permanent solution. During testing for pipe location it was determined a faulty isolation valve was the culprit negating the need for the temporary solution and significantly reducing the cost of the solution. Matthew was courteous and professional throughout and once diagnosed correctly was a swift fix, would highly recommend.
Over two days of working outside to unblock a private stormwater easement affecting four properties on the same easement, Phil and Matthew brought us success. Happy to have them anytime. Great workers. Network you certainly have the right people for the job.
Network Plumbing is excellent! Another emergency blocked loo! So close to Christmas I didn’t think the issue would be resolved and I would have cancel planned celebrations . One phone call and Tim arrived within 3 hours resolving the problem. Tim is absolute gentleman! Every person I deal with at company is so professional. It says a lot about the owner, Scott who staff speak so highly of and respect . I cannot recommend this company more highly. Number 1 in my opinion!! Thank you for coming my rescue again Network plumbing. Kerrie-Ann
Phillip and Shaun. Very happy with the service
Phillip and Chase have done a marvellous job here today. Arrived on time, worked very efficiently and finished in very good time. Did a beautiful job!! Thanks chaps!! Hope we don’t need you again but would really welcome you if we do!!
I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Network Plumbing. The plumber, Spencer, was polite, prompt and professional. He communicated my plumbing issues so I understood my options and then followed through with quotes and action. Excellent service! 👍

Frequently asked questions
Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.
Leak detection costs vary depending on where the leak is located, how difficult it is to access, and what equipment is required to find it. Some leaks are straightforward to locate, while others are hidden behind walls, under slabs, or underground.
Rather than guessing over the phone, our Sydney technicians assess the situation on site and explain the most effective detection approach before proceeding. This ensures accuracy and avoids unnecessary damage.
Plumbers use specialised tools to locate leaks without cutting open walls or digging blindly. These can include acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, moisture meters, and thermal or camera-based technology.
The goal is to pinpoint the leak accurately so repairs are targeted, efficient, and minimise disruption to your home.
Hidden water leaks often show indirect signs such as unexplained water stains, damp smells, peeling paint, warped flooring, or rising water bills. You may also hear water movement when taps are off.
While these signs suggest a leak, professional detection is the safest way to confirm the source without causing further damage.
Home insurance may cover damage caused by a sudden and accidental leak, but coverage for leak detection itself varies by policy. Gradual leaks or maintenance related issues are often excluded.
It’s best to check your policy wording. If needed, we can provide reports, photos, and findings from our inspection to support an insurance enquiry.
Leak detection isn’t just about finding water, it requires specialised equipment, training, and experience to locate leaks accurately without unnecessary damage.
While it may seem costly upfront, proper leak detection often saves money by avoiding widespread demolition, repeat repairs, and ongoing water damage.
Underground leaks are located using techniques such as pressure testing, acoustic detection, and ground-sensing equipment that identifies water movement beneath surfaces.
This allows plumbers to pinpoint the leak location without digging up large areas of your yard, driveway, or slab unnecessarily.
Water leaking through the ceiling should be treated as urgent. First, if it’s safe to do so, shut off the water supply and avoid using affected fixtures.
Ceiling leaks often indicate a hidden pipe failure, bathroom leak, or upstairs plumbing issue. A licensed plumber can locate the source and advise on the safest next steps.
Yes. Plumbers regularly locate leaks behind walls using non-invasive detection tools. These methods help identify the source without tearing into large sections of wall, reducing repair costs and disruption.
Signs of an underground water line leak include unusually high water bills, damp or soggy patches in the yard, water pooling with no clear source, or the sound of running water when everything is turned off.
Professional leak detection confirms whether the issue is underground and exactly where it’s occurring.
Leaks behind walls often reveal themselves through bubbling paint, damp patches, mould growth, musty smells, or unexplained wall warmth or cold spots.
Because the damage can spread invisibly, early professional detection helps prevent structural issues and mould development.
Mould can begin to develop within 24 – 48 hours in damp conditions. Hidden leaks are especially problematic because moisture can sit unnoticed behind walls or under floors.
Prompt leak detection and repair significantly reduce the risk of mould growth and associated health concerns.
