Emergency Plumber Reviews

We’re proud to be highly rated for fast response times, expert solutions, and friendly service. Read real reviews from satisfied plumbing customers.

Oscar was super prompt and reliable and fixed my shwoer and bathroom and hand cleaning sink so fast and save my bathroom flooding, 10/10 recommend to everybody. Thank you so much ! Reasonable pricing too for emergency
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the amazing review! Glad we could fix the shower and bathroom quickly and prevent any flooding. We really appreciate the recommendation and your kind words about our emergency service and pricing!

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:

Our Process

Our Process For After Hours Plumbing

Emergency jobs need speed, but not shortcuts. Here’s how we handle it.

1
Quick triage on the call:
we ask what’s happening, what’s at risk, and give immediate safety steps.
2
Isolate the hazard:
on arrival, we shut off what needs shutting off (water/gas/power risk coordination).
3
Confirm the fault:
targeted checks to identify the true cause, not just the visible symptom.
4
Quote on site:
fixed and quoted on site once we can see what’s required.
5
Repair and test:
we complete repairs that are safe and feasible, then confirm function and stability.
6
Next steps:
if follow-up is sensible (parts, access, daylight work), you’ll get a clear plan and timing guidance.

To start, send your details here and include your suburb, what’s leaking/blocked, and whether you’ve already shut off the main valve.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Emergency Plumber in Sydney

What is Emergency Plumbing?

Emergency plumbing refers to immediate, on-call plumbing services that address urgent problems like burst pipes, gas leaks, and blocked drains outside regular hours.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Burst pipes
No hot water
Overflowing toilets
Gas leaks
Blocked sewer lines

How fast can a 24-hour plumber arrive in Sydney?

In most cases, Apex Plumbing Services can be on-site within 60 minutes, depending on your location and time of day.

What’s the cost of an emergency plumber in Sydney?

Costs vary based on time, severity, and parts needed. We provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees.

How do I shut off the water in a plumbing emergency?

Locate your water meter (usually near the front boundary)
Turn the valve clockwise to shut it off
Call our emergency team

Can you repair a burst pipe the same day?

Often, burst pipe repairs can be handled on the day of the callout, but it depends on access, pipe material, and whether an isolation valve is functioning. We’ll focus first on stopping water damage, then completing a safe repair plan with clear next steps if anything needs staging.

Can you help with gas plumbing emergencies?

 Absolutely. We’re fully licensed gas fitters and handle gas leaks, faulty valves, and emergency disconnections.

Is there a call-out fee for emergency plumbing in Sydney?

We offer transparent pricing. Any call-out fees will be explained clearly before we attend the job.

Are your plumbers licensed?

Apex Plumbing Services operates under Plumber Licence No. 306733C. If you need licence details for records (real estate, strata, or commercial compliance), ask when booking and we’ll provide the information you need.

Will you provide a temporary fix if parts aren’t available?

Where it’s safe and sensible, we can stabilise the situation with a functional temporary solution to stop damage and restore basic use. We’ll then outline what’s required for the permanent repair and help you book the follow-up in a reasonable timeframe.

What’s the difference between a licensed and unlicensed plumber in NSW?

A licensed plumber is qualified and authorised to perform regulated work to relevant NSW requirements. Unlicensed work can lead to safety risks, failed compliance, and complications with insurance or property handover. If you’re unsure, ask for the licence number and verify it through official NSW tools.

Can I find an emergency plumber near me?

If you’re searching “near me”, the fastest path is to call with your suburb and describe the issue clearly. We’ll confirm whether we can attend and give immediate safety steps while you wait. The goal is to stop damage first, then fix the cause properly.

What information do you need when I call?

Share your suburb, property type (house/unit/strata), what’s happening (leak/overflow/no hot water/gas smell), whether you’ve shut off water, and any access notes (meter location, parking, unit number, site contact). Photos can help, but a clear description is usually enough to triage.
