WHAT COUNTS AS A Plumbing EMERGENCY?
Not every plumbing problem needs an emergency callout, but some can't wait.
A plumbing emergency is any issue that risks damage to your home, your health or your safety if it isn't dealt with straight away.
That includes a burst or leaking pipe you can't shut off, a blocked drain or overflow relief gully backing up into your yard or home, a suspected gas leak, a complete loss of water supply, or a loss of hot water in winter or in a home with young kids or elderly residents.
If you're not sure whether what you're dealing with counts, call us and we'll talk you through it.

EMERGENCY PLUMBING AND GAS SERVICES WE PROVIDE:
✔ Burst Pipes and Leaks
A burst or leaking pipe can cause serious water damage fast, particularly in older homes where ageing pipework is more prone to failure. We locate the source, stop the leak, and repair or replace the affected section of pipe.
If you smell gas, isolate the gas supply if it's safe to do so. If the smell is strong, open doors and windows where safe, avoid electrical switches or naked flames, and move to a safe location until it's been assessed. Richardson Plumbing and Gas hold gas fitting licence PGE 314187 and responds to gas emergencies with the training and equipment to make your home safe again.
✔ Gas Leaks and Gas Emergencies
✔ No Water Supply
If you've suddenly lost all water to your home and it isn't a planned outage, you may have a burst water main or a faulty pressure-limiting valve. This is worth an urgent call, particularly if water is pooling in your yard or running down the street.
A blocked drain that's backing up through an overflow relief gully, sink or toilet is more than an inconvenience, it's a health and property risk. We use drain machine equipment and CCTV camera inspection to find the cause, whether it's tree root intrusion into ageing earthenware drains or a blockage further down the line, and clear it properly.
✔ Blocked Drains and Overflows
✔ No HOT WATER?
Losing hot water in summer is usually just inconvenient, but a complete loss of hot water in winter, or in a home with young kids or elderly residents, is worth calling us about rather than waiting for a standard appointment. We work on continuous flow, storage and heatpump systems, and get things running again, or talk you through your options if it needs replacing.

“We had a great experience with Ryan and we highly recommend his services. He tackled a difficult and uncommon blockage in our drains using specialised equipment, including a camera to diagnose the issue accurately.
He talked us through the problem step by step and cleared the debris effectively. He was professional, reasonably priced, and also very personable—easy to talk to and reassuring throughout. We’re very happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to call him again.
— Jenny R
We can’t thank Ryan enough for the work he did for us today - on a Sunday as well! Our situation required a plumber ASAP: an overflowing toilet and blocked sinks. He came with specialised equipment which enabled him to thread a wire with a camera attached, to the blocked site 25 meters from street level, and under our house. Then using another wire, with a claw on the end, he cleared the tree roots and unblocked the drain. Ryan was energetic and personable, always involving us with what he was doing and happily answering questions. Very reasonable pricing and was always mindful of keeping costs down for us where possible. We can’t recommend Richardson Plumbing and gas enough !!! Thanks Ryan :)

Is a blocked or overflowing drain a plumbing emergency?
If a blocked drain is backing up through an overflow relief gully, sink or toilet and overflowing into your yard or home, it's a health risk and worth an emergency call. A slow-draining sink that isn't overflowing can usually wait for a standard appointment.
Standard appointments can be organised by giving us a call or requesting a quote here on our contact page.

Is losing hot water always an emergency?
Not always. Losing hot water in summer is usually an inconvenience that can wait for a standard appointment. A complete loss of hot water in winter, or in a home with young kids or elderly residents, is worth calling us about.
Yes. Richardson Plumbing and Gas holds a full plumbing licence as well as gas fitting licence PGE 314187, so both plumbing and gas emergencies are handled by one qualified and highly experienced team.
