Brisbane After Hours Plumbing Service When You Need It
Plumbing problems don’t care if it’s late at night or the weekend. A burst pipe, gas leak, or overflowing toilet can happen any time and waiting until morning isn’t always an option. That’s where our after hours emergency plumbing service comes in. We’re on call 24/7 to help with urgent plumbing issues across Brisbane and nearby suburbs.
Why Emergency Plumbing Matters
When a pipe bursts or the hot water stops working, time matters. Water damage can spread fast, gas leaks are dangerous, and blocked drains can back up quickly. Ignoring these problems or trying to patch them yourself can make things worse.
We respond quickly, carry the right tools, and fix things safely so you’re not left stressing overnight or over the weekend.
Common After Hours Plumbing Emergencies
We handle a wide range of urgent plumbing problems in Brisbane homes. Some of the most common calls we get after hours include:
- Burst pipes or leaking water lines
- Gas smells or suspected gas leaks
- Hot water system breakdowns
- Blocked or overflowing toilets
- Sewer or stormwater drain backups
- Tap or fixture failures flooding the area
How Our Emergency Plumbing Works
When you Call Us after hours, you’ll speak to a local plumber, not a call centre. We’ll ask a few questions to understand the problem, then dispatch someone from our on call team. We always aim to be at your door fast no matter the time of night.
Once we arrive, we assess the situation and get it under control. If it’s a quick fix, we’ll do it right away. If it needs follow up work, we’ll make the area safe and return the next day to complete it.
Emergency Service Areas Across Brisbane
We provide after hours plumbing across all parts of Brisbane and nearby regions. Whether you’re in the inner suburbs or on the outskirts, we can send a plumber to your door, day or night.
We cover:
- Brisbane Northside
- Moreton Bay including North Lakes

Why Fast Response Matters
Brisbane homes are often built on timber floors or slab foundations. Water leaks can quickly cause swelling, rot, or mould especially in older homes. Our weather can also lead to sudden storm drain blockages during heavy rain.
Acting fast means less damage and lower repair costs. We carry leak detection gear, temporary patching materials, and drain cleaning tools so we can deal with most problems on the spot.
What to Do While You Wait
While our plumber is on the way, there are a few things you can do to reduce damage and stay safe:
- Turn off your water at the mains (usually near the water meter)
- Switch off the gas supply if you smell gas
- Avoid using any sinks or toilets if the drains are blocked
- Keep pets and kids away from wet or slippery areas
Do After Hours Services Cost More?
Our emergency services do not have a call out fee, we keep our pricing fair and transparent. We’ll give you a clear estimate before any work starts, and we don’t add hidden charges. You’ll always know what to expect.
Our team focuses on safety and getting things under control. If a full repair can’t be done at night, we’ll make things safe and return during business hours to finish the job properly.
Licensed, Local, and Ready 24/7
All our emergency plumbers are fully licensed, experienced, and based in Brisbane. That means fast response times and a team that understands local homes, materials, and plumbing layouts. Whether you live in a Queenslander or a modern townhouse, we know how to get things fixed fast.
