Emergency Plumber Reviews

Compliance For Homes Strata And Businesses
A “quick fix” that fails inspection can cost more than the original emergency—especially for strata and commercial sites. We work to appropriate NSW requirements and aim for repairs that stand up to real-world use, not just a temporary stop.
If you manage a building, we can provide clear notes on what was found, what was done, and what should be scheduled next to reduce repeat callouts. For tenants and landlords, we’ll also help you understand what’s urgent now and what can be planned for daylight hours.
Our Emergency Plumbing Services – What We Fix Fast
At Apex Plumbing Services, we offer an extensive range of emergency plumbing repair and services to cater to the needs of our Sydney clients. Our expert team is ready to handle any emergency swiftly and efficiently. Here are the primary services we provide:
Burst or severely leaking pipes
isolating supply, repairing or replacing failed sections, and checking pressure issues that can trigger repeat failures (see our burst pipe repair options).
Blocked toilets and sewer smells:
clearing the blockage, checking for underlying drainage issues, and restoring safe use (if it’s a toilet problem, start with toilet repair support).
Blocked drains and overflows:
clearing and restoring flow, then advising on the most sensible next step to prevent recurrence (including drain clearing and restoration).
Hot water failures:
diagnosing faults and advising repair vs replacement pathways so you can get hot water back as soon as practical (see hot water service help).
Roof leaks during storms:
temporary containment plus repair planning where safe access is possible (learn about leaking roof repair options).
Gas-related plumbing issues:
urgent isolation and safe, compliant work by qualified technicians (view gas fitting services).
If you’ve had the same problem more than once, we’ll talk about root causes—pressure, pipe condition, tree roots, incorrect fall, aging fixtures, or hidden leaks—so you can stop living in “repeat emergency mode”.
What To Do During a Plumbing Emergency (Before We Arrive)
If you’re facing a plumbing emergency, follow these steps to minimise damage:
1. Shut off the water immediately
Turn off the main water valve at the front of your property.
2. Turn off the electricity if water is near the power points
Safety first — avoid any risk of electrical hazard.
3. Move valuables away from the affected area
Protect belongings from water damage.
4. Contain leaks with towels or buckets
This helps reduce flooring damage.
5. Avoid using DIY fixes
Tape, glue, or makeshift plugs can worsen the issue.
6. Call Apex Plumbing Services
Our plumber will stay on the phone with you and provide immediate instructions while we dispatch a technician.
What You Get From A 24 Hour Plumber Callout
Every plumbing emergency is different, but the fundamentals don’t change: control the hazard, stop damage spreading, diagnose accurately, and repair with the right parts and methods. Here’s what you can expect when you call Apex:
If your emergency is a burst line or active leak, our first goal is to stop the water and protect the property. For cases where the damage has already spread, we’ll help you prioritise what to fix first so you’re not paying for the wrong thing.
