The emergency plumbers Newcastle home and business owners can rely on.

There’s nothing worse than a plumbing emergency in the middle of the night. The question stands: should you wait until the morning as your house fills with water? Or should you call a plumber to fix the problem now?
Even worse is the suspicion of a gas leak. In the middle of the night, many homeowners pass this off as “just a suspicion” or choose to leave it until the morning. This can be incredibly dangerous for your family’s health and safety. It’s always better to be safe than sorry in the event of a potential gas leak.
Unexpected plumbing or gas fitting emergencies can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage if left unrepaired. It can be absolutely catastrophic, leaving you with walls, floors, pipes, and other household items in need of repair or replacement.
We know how much of a hassle this can be. We also know how dangerous unrepaired plumbing and gas fitting problems can be, which is why we offer round-the-clock emergency plumbing services to keep Newcastle home and business owners safe.

What is considered a plumbing or gas fitting emergency?
Unrepaired plumbing and gas fitting emergencies can leave your home or business out of action for days, weeks, or even months. The impact can be catastrophic, which is why it’s important to have a reliable emergency plumber on speed-dial to be there when you need assistance.
A common question home and business owners ask themselves: what is considered an emergency? A blocked toilet isn’t quite as serious as a potential gas leak. So what should you call an emergency plumber for?
Some of the most common emergencies in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter include:
- Ruptured pipes. If a pipe has been ruptured, an experienced plumber will need to address the situation. Your first point of call: shut off the water supply. Your second point of call: Newcastle Plumbing!
- A burst or a clogged toilet. When a toilet gets clogged, the toilet will overflow, leading to an unpleasant mess. Give our experienced and licensed team of plumbers a call ASAP.
- A broken hot water system. There’s nothing worse than a cold shower – or a boiling hot one! Temperature control can be a serious issue when gas or electric hot water systems start to malfunction. Symptoms of a malfunction include a dripping tank, odorous water, or off-coloured water. Hot water systems have a tendency to burst, so if you notice any problems, be sure to call Newcastle Plumbing. We’re specialists in both gas and electric hot water systems and have been helping local Novocastrians for more than 25 years!
- Blocked sewer and storm drains. This kind of emergency can be very unpleasant. If the sewer is blocked, there might be other blockages like storm drains, bathroom basins, toilets, and more. Plus, there can be bubbling toilets, sewage, and water pooling around the sewage system. Your first point of call – us!
- Leaking/gushing showers. A shower running out of control in the middle of the night is a nightmare! The first thing you should do is shut off or isolate the water , then call an experienced plumber to visit the house and deal with the situation for you. Here at Newcastle Plumbing, we offer an obligation free quote and zero call out fees, so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.
- Obstructed gutters and downpipes. We all forget to clean out our gutters… but it’s important to keep on top of it, otherwise emergencies can occur. Obstructed roofing and guttering can cause a buildup of water in the bathroom, kitchen, and other areas of the house – and it can be catastrophic. If you notice an obstruction, let us know and we’ll get onto it. Our work is always of the highest industry standard.
- Gas leak detection. Gas leaks can be a serious hazard. Even the smallest spark can cause a gas fire or explosion. If you suspect there’s a gas leak in your home or business, call us immediately. With our emergency service, you know we’re always there when you need us.
