Service Information

We know emergencies can happen from time to time, and that’s why MJ Plumbing provides a 24/7 service. 

This essential service is available to you for all of those unexpected times, such as when your hot water system crashes, or a pipe has burst, or when a water meter is run over and causing a waterspout into the middle of your street.

No matter the situation, we will endeavour to reach you in your time of need and provide a resolution to your plumbing emergency!
There are some situations, where we might advise you over the phone how to address the issue if it is safe to do so but there are other emergencies that just can’t wait.

Gas leaks for example can be extremely dangerous, that is why we advise you to call a licenced gas fitter as soon as you smell gas. We will then recommend steps for you to take to keep you and your family safe, while we make our way to your location.

Blocked drains, overflowing toilets and burst pipes are just some of the call outs we receive regularly, so if you have a plumbing emergency the team at MJ Plumbing have experienced plumbers on call 24/7, all year round.

 Simply call us on 0423 593 151 to get in touch with us after hours.

Common Issues

Overflowing Toilet

Don’t panic, it happens to everyone (and don’t we know it!). Broken or blocked toilets are one of the most inconvenient, yet unfortunately most common, emergency plumbing issues.

Blocked Drains

There’s no hiding the symptoms of a blocked drain. A blocked sewer can prevent fixtures such as your kitchen sink, shower or bath from draining effectively, and so can cause flooding.

No Hot Water

If you’ve ever had water run cold mid-shower, we feel your pain. While you might curse the world for it, hot water system issues are more about the power supply or faulty parts on the system itself.

Water Leak

Leaks can spring from taps, water meters or hot water tanks and should be addressed promptly to minimise damage.

Gas leak

Gas leaks can be very dangerous, even fatal. To avoid disaster, call a plumber as soon as you smell or suspect a gas leak.

Burst pipe

A burst water pipe can cause extensive damage to walls, floors and furniture if not isolated or repaired fast enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a water pipe has burst?

One minute you’re filling the kettle, the next your kitchen sink is spurting water everywhere. There can be little warning and it can feel like it comes from nowhere. Isolation should be your immediate response; first switch off any electricity in the vicinity, then isolate the valve on the water meter to stop the water flow. As soon as possible, call your emergency plumber to locate and repair the leak.

What should I do if I can smell gas?

Gas leaks can lead to dangerous, and even deadly, situations in confined spaces or spaces near an open flame. If you smell gas within your home or on your property, you should first turn off all gas appliances and pilot lights to eliminate any naked flames. You should then isolate the supply at your gas meter or gas bottle and immediately call a licensed gas fitter. Keep you and your family as far from the leak as possible.

 
What should I do if my toilet is overflowing?

It can be immediate panic stations as you watch the water level steadily rise to the top of the bowl! Objects being dropped in the toilet, excessive toilet paper or issues further down the line can all contribute to this unfortunate situation. Avoid putting anything else in the bowl and call your emergency plumber as soon as possible.
