When a leak begins 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 not pre-booked and convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, which is why we strive to be there as fast as possible, even if it’s after hours or a public holiday.
No matter what the time is, phone us and our After Hours plumbers will respond right away. We will be there fast, and fix your Illawong urgent plumbing problems speedily and efficiently so your home can return to usual.
Our highly trained plumbers have the knowledge, equipment and components to fix plumbing issues of all types quickly and economically. We’ve been looking after customers in the Illawong area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and clean job.

What should you do when you discover a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the issue.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, mop up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
You may have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our urgent Illawong plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Illawong plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.
We recommend trying to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can cause more damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Once our on call plumber is present, they will identify the problems and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.
