When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply is not, the last thing you need is to have to wait for a plumber to get there. In an urgent plumbing scenario, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing disasters are never pre-booked let alone convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as we can, even when it’s after hours or a public holiday.
Our Hobart emergency plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re prepared to solve your problems so you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
We have been serving Hobart for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to solve all sorts of plumbing issues quickly and efficiently. We’ll even clean up any mess we have made before we leave.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the power panel.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main isolating valve will be on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We understand a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unblocked.
Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour Hobart plumbers will quickly locate the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won’t plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to deal with? It’s hard to have a proper clean when the water is cold.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again fast so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can swiftly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as fast as possible, it will become more costly by the day.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Hobart emergency plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our professional team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.
Large and little, hidden under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of your everyday activities. They bring clean water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage away.
Often, we never even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a major problem that must be resolved immediately before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers right away. We are waiting to help Hobart residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a recently built residence, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our after hours plumber arrives, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you own a broken faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a serious aggravation. Something that can go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your deams.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.
Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our urgent plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we find the style you want.
From large to small, our Hobart emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and dribble off quietly.
Our company has been servicing the Hobart locale for many years, and our reputation for top quality work at an affordable price sees our past customers calling us back again and again. Our aim is to help you with all your plumbing needs, no matter what, where or when.

Over the years we’ve seen it all. You name it, we have been up to our elbows in it. And even if it is 2am, on a public holiday, or during Christmas morning, we’ll be there rapidly, repair it fast and tidy up before we leave.
When you call our emergency line, you’ll speak directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We may even be able to help you deal with your issue over the phone. If not, we’ll be there promptly in a fully stocked van to get it sorted as fast as possible.
