Response
Fastest Available, Not False Promises
Some plumbers advertise a fixed countdown they cannot keep. We do it straight. When you call, we triage the job, tell you the real fastest available arrival for your location, and start guiding you by phone so the damage stops before we even pull up. That honest answer to how long an emergency plumber takes matters more than a number on a billboard.
Repair
No Hot Water This Morning?
If the shower ran cold, do not assume the whole unit is finished. Apex handles hot water system repairs Sydney wide, and many faults on a hot water heater are a same-day repair, not a replacement. Tick any symptom below, then call and we will talk you through it before we arrive.
High severity
Burst Pipe
A burst pipe can flood a room in minutes and soak through walls, ceilings and floors. Behind-wall pipes, corroded joints and split flexi hoses are the usual culprits. We locate the source of the water leak, isolate it fast to stop the flooding, then set out a fixed repair scope. For a hidden leak inside a wall or slab, our leak detection pinpoints the source before we open anything up. Left alone, a small burst pipe becomes a large water damage bill.
- While you wait
- Turn off the water at the main tap
- Switch off power to any wet area
- Move valuables clear of the water
- Take photos for context and insurance
High severity
Gas Leak
A gas leak is dangerous and needs a licensed response, not a DIY fix. If you can smell gas or hear hissing near a meter or appliance, treat it as urgent. Our licensed team traces the leak, makes the area safe and repairs or isolates the faulty line. Never test for a gas leak with a flame, and never keep using an appliance you suspect is leaking.
- While you wait
- Turn off the water at the main tap
- Switch off power to any wet area
- Move valuables clear of the water
- Take photos for context and insurance
Urgent
Blocked Sewer Or Drain
A blocked drain that backs up into the house is a hygiene emergency. Tree roots, wipes and grease are the common causes, and a sewage overflow at the lowest gully or shower is a warning sign the blocked sewer line is full. We clear the blockage, camera the line to find the cause, and explain whether a repair or pipe relining is the right next step.
- While you wait
- Stop running water and flushing toilets
- Keep people and pets away from any overflow
- Lift external drain covers if you can do so safely
- Do not pour chemical drain cleaner on a full line
Urgent
No Hot Water
No hot water is a fast disruption to any household or business, and a leaking unit can also cause water damage. We diagnose whether the fault is the element, thermostat, valve, pilot or the tank itself, then give you clear repair or replacement options. If the unit is leaking, isolating it quickly protects your floors while we sort the fix.
- While you wait
- Check around the unit for pooling water
- Turn the unit off at the isolation point if it is leaking
- Note any error light or fault code
- Avoid repeatedly resetting the system
Urgent
Overflowing Toilet
An overflowing toilet spreads water and waste across the floor and creates an immediate hygiene risk, especially in a single-bathroom home or a busy business. Whether it is a blocked toilet trap or a deeper blocked drain pushing water back up, we clear it, check it drains cleanly, and confirm the cause so it does not repeat that night.
- While you wait
- Turn off the small isolation tap behind the toilet
- Do not flush again, it will only add to the overflow
- Contain the spill with towels and keep the area ventilated
- Take photos before you clean up

24 Hour Plumber And After Hours Plumbing In Sydney
Plumbing does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. As a 24 hour plumber Sydney households and businesses can call any time, Apex runs 24/7 emergency plumbing for the problems that cannot wait until morning. If you need an after hours plumber Sydney wide for a burst pipe overnight, a blocked drain on a Sunday, or no hot water before work, the line is answered by a real plumber, not a call centre. It is the kind of emergency plumbing Sydney locals keep on speed dial.
On-Call Plumbers For Real Emergencies
Our on call plumbers cover nights, weekends and public holidays because that is when the worst leaks tend to show up. Urgent plumbing gets triaged the moment you call, so the right help is on the way with the right parts on board.
One Team For Urgent And Planned Work
The same licensed team that handles emergency plumbing repairs also does the follow-up work, so nothing gets lost in a handover. If a temporary fix is all that is safe tonight, we book the permanent repair and explain exactly what it involves.
Pricing
After Hours Pricing With No Surprises
The most common worry in a plumbing emergency is the bill. Here is how it works with Apex: we attend, make the site safe, and diagnose the fault. Then you get a fixed quote before any repair begins, and no work starts until you approve that number. That fixed quote before work holds whether you call in business hours, after hours, overnight or on a public holiday, so the emergency plumber cost is never a mystery.
Fixed price for the agreed scope, given before work starts
You approve the quote first, always
Clear answer on any call out fee when you book
Same honest process after hours as during the day
Do you charge a call out fee?
We are upfront about a call out fee at the time you book, so there is no awkward surprise when we arrive. The important part is that the repair itself is a fixed quote you approve before we start.

What To Do Before The Plumber Arrives
A few calm steps can stop a plumbing emergency getting worse while you wait. If anything feels unsafe, especially water near power or a suspected gas leak, leave it to us and stay clear.
- Turn off the water at the main tap to slow any leak or flooding
- Keep water away from electrical fittings and stay out of unsafe areas
- Stop using the affected fixture, toilet or appliance
- Take a few photos so we understand the situation before we arrive
