Warning Signs

When To Call An Emergency Plumber in McDowall

Not every plumbing issue is an emergency. But these situations need a plumber right now, not tomorrow.

Water Spraying or Flooding

Any uncontrolled water flow from pipes, fittings, or appliances needs immediate attention to prevent damage to floors, walls, and belongings.
Gas Smell

That rotten egg odour means get out first, then call. Gas leaks are serious safety hazards that need professional attention.
Sewage in Your Home

Sewage backing up through drains or toilets is a health emergency. Stop using water and call immediately.
No Water at All

Complete loss of water to your property may mean a main line failure that needs urgent diagnosis and repair.
Your Only Toilet Blocked

If your only toilet won't flush, that's an emergency. Families can't wait days for a scheduled appointment.
Overflowing Fixtures

Toilets, sinks, or floor drains that overflow when used indicate serious blockages that need clearing before they cause damage.
Hot Water Tank Leaking

A leaking tank can flood your home and waste energy. Continuous leaks from the relief valve also need prompt attention.
Water Through Your Ceiling

Water dripping through the ceiling means a leak above that's already causing damage. Don't wait to call.

What To Do Before the Plumber Arrives

Taking the right steps while waiting can limit damage and keep your family safe. Here's what to do for common emergencies:

For Water Leaks

Turn off the water at your mains tap, usually located near your front boundary or water meter. Move valuables away from the water. If water is near electrical outlets, switch off power at the main board.

For Gas Leaks

Get everyone out of the house. Don't use light switches, phones, or anything that could create a spark. Turn off gas at the meter if you can safely reach it. Open windows and doors as you leave.

For Blocked Drains

Stop using all water in the house. Don't flush toilets or run taps. This prevents more sewage backing up while you wait for us to arrive.
