Emergency Plumbing Service for Hot Water Systems

In hot water heating systems, pipes are usually made of copper or steel, but they can burst when they are old, under pressure, or if there is a failure point in a joint - or in the system itself - resulting in seepage and flooding and the need for you to call a plumber right away - and that's why Melbourne Plumbing Co. is here for your plumbing emergencies. Hot water repairs are our specialty and our workmanship and professionalism are second to none.

Emergency Plumbing Service for Blocked Drains and Burst Pipes

Drainpipes are made of PVC plastic or concrete which can crack or burst easily due to heavy rain, or from blockages or tree roots invading the pipes. If you notice that your yard or paths are suddenly wet or not draining, this can be because of a blocked drain, burst drain pipe or a leaking water supply pipe. Leak detection can sometimes be a tricky business. Luckily, we have a qualified plumber in your area to fix these issues - so don't hesitate to call us and we'll have the best plumber at your address as soon as one is available.

FAQs

Is there such a thing as an emergency plumber?

Yes! Melbourne Plumbing Co's plumbers are available 24/7 to help with any plumbing emergencies that you may have. We know that plumbing problems can crop up at any time of day or night and that it’s important to get them fixed as soon as possible.

How long does it take for an emergency plumber to come?

Depending on the time of day and our availability and current workload, the traffic and your location, our plumbers will typically arrive at your premises within 30 minutes to four hours of being contacted for an emergency or urgent repair. Call us to find out how soon we can be at your premises to help you with your plumbing emergency or urgent repair.

What do emergency plumbers do?

Our emergency plumbers are available 24/7 to help with any urgent plumbing. They can fix leaks, unblock drains, and service water heating devices like hot water tanks. They are on call and ready to help when an emergency arises at your premises and will be there to help as soon as possible.

Should I call a plumber or do it myself?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best solution for each plumbing emergency will vary. Plumbing is a specialised field and unless you have the knowledge and right tools and equipment to do the job, you should call us as soon as you can. If you're unsure whether or not you can handle a plumbing issue on your own, then it's best to call a plumber.

How do you handle a plumbing emergency?
  • If a tap is leaking and flooding, turn off the water supply from your mains. This is usually a tap located outside and has a water meter attached.
  • If you believe your hot water service is faulty or leaking, turn it off. This is usually done at your electricity meter box and should be clearly labelled. If you are unsure or inexperienced, do not touch your electricity meter box at all and call a plumber right away.
  • Small leaks: if you have a small leak in a water pipe, you may be able to temporarily stem it yourself if it is safe to do so. Always keep a roll of plumber's tape handy in case of these situations. Place a bucket underneath where the pipe is leaking. Wrap the tape around the pipe, and then call a plumber. Sometimes, wrapping towels around the pipe may help. 
  • Blocked outdoor drains: sometimes it's obvious that an inlet such as a trap or open drain is blocked with debris. You may be able to clear this debris with a shovel or a booted foot if the inlet is small. If this is not possible, then you should call us before flooding and damage occurs. Remember your safety: do not take any risks and stay away from large drains with fast flowing water.
  • Blocked downpipes: gutters often fill will leaves and dirt causing water to back up and flow into your ceiling causing major damage. Keep your gutters clean and ensure that the flow to the down pipes is unobstructed.
  • If you're not sure of what the problem is, or how to temporarily fix it before it becomes a major issue, then call us! Don't tackle a problem yourself unless you know what to do!
Is a broken pipe an emergency?

If a pipe is broken, water will seep out. If the water leakage is large or continuous, it's an emergency and you should call a plumber right away. If a pipe in your hot water system is faulty then this is even more of an emergency. Not only will the issue cause damage and make the problem worse, but you will also not have any hot water!

What do most plumbers charge per hour?

The cost may vary depending on the type of service being performed and the extent of the emergency, along with the equipment and parts needed for repair, and your location. If you have an emergency plumbing issue in Melbourne, then call us right away on 1300 293 263 and we can give you an indication of cost.

Found my water heater is not working and contacted Chris for help in the morning. He immediately ordered a brand new one and resolved all the problems for me straight away. Also, when he’s fixing for me, he found that there’s water leaking of my neighbor’s water pipes at the same time. He’s a life saver for both of us now! Thank you so much Chris!

I called Christian and he was amazing. He was in the area and dropped past straight away in between another job. He found an issue which another plumber hadn't. He is very genuine and took the time to investigate thoroughly and explain what the issues were in a polite manner. Would definitely recommend and will be using him whenever I need a plumber in future.

We have been using Melbourne Plumbing Co. for over 2 years, William and the team have always been amazing to deal with, on time and professional. Our hot water service broke on a Friday and William came that day to look at it for us and we had a new hot water system installed on Saturday morning - limiting our time without hot water. William always gives good advice and written quotes before any work is done and we trust him 100%. So nice to have found reliable plumbers!

Chris and his team have done a fabulous and professional job moving and installing new plumbing and appliances for our new kitchen. The job was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard!Communication and responsiveness were both excellent.What we appreciated the most was the diligence and care that was shown towards our kitchen space when installing the sink, tap, oven and dishwasher after the cabinetry and stone was installed. This is a rare trait and one to be applauded.We would have no hesitation in hiring Chris and his team from Melbourne Plumbing Co and we will do so again when we tackle our bathroom and laundry.With thanks,Catherine and Mark

The guys were great. There were 2 new toilets,new shower suite and new faucets installed. All done professionally with smiles and provided work updates as it all progressed. Their work area was always left clean. These new installations were required because of my hip issues. Melbourne plumbing were aware and helped me select the products for my needs. Christian was informative and patient. Also wanted to mention that I love my new rain shower with handle. It makes showering so much easier as do the new toilets and faucets. I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing for not only the plumbing and installation, but also for assisting in choosing the right products for my bathroom. Yes I highly recommend Melbourne Plumbing.
