Is My Water Leak an Emergency?
Not every plumbing leak is an emergency, but many are.
You should contact a plumber immediately if:
- Water is actively flowing inside your home.
- Water is entering electrical areas or near power points.
- A pipe has burst.
- Your ceiling is sagging due to water.
- Water is causing damage to flooring or cabinetry.
- You cannot stop the leak by turning off a tap or valve.
- The source of the leak is unknown.
The sooner the leak is investigated, the greater the chance of limiting water damage.
Common Signs of an Underground Water Leak
If you notice any of the following, it may indicate an underground leak:
- A sudden increase in your water bill
- Wet or soggy areas in your lawn during dry weather
- Lush patches of grass growing faster than surrounding areas
- Water pooling around your property
- Reduced water pressure
- Your water meter continues to move when no water is being used
- Cracks appearing in paved areas caused by ground movement
- The sound of running water outside when everything is switched off
The earlier an underground leak is identified, the less likely it is to cause extensive damage or unnecessary water loss.
What Should You Do Before the Plumber Arrives?
If you suspect a serious plumbing leak:
Turn Off the Water Supply
If it is safe to do so, shut off your property’s main water isolation valve.
Stay Safe Around Electricity
If water is near electrical fittings, avoid the area and seek appropriate advice before entering.
Protect Your Property
Where possible:
- Move furniture and valuables.
- Place buckets beneath active leaks.
- Use towels to reduce water spreading.
- Take photographs if required for insurance purposes.
Contact Call The Plumber Now
Once the water has been isolated, contact our team so we can arrange an emergency plumbing inspection.
How We Find Emergency Water Leaks
Every plumbing emergency is different.
Our first priority is identifying where the water is coming from before recommending repairs.
Depending on the situation, we may carry out:
- Visual inspections
- Water meter testing
- Pressure testing
- Acoustic leak detection
- Electronic pipe locating where appropriate
- Thermal imaging where suitable
Our goal is to locate the source of the leak as accurately as possible while minimising unnecessary disruption to your property.
Common Emergency Water Leaks We Attend
Our plumbers regularly investigate:
- Burst water pipes
- Hidden plumbing leaks
- Ceiling leaks caused by plumbing
- Wall leaks
- Underground water service leaks
- Slab leaks
- Leaking hot water pipes
- Bathroom plumbing leaks
- Kitchen plumbing leaks
- Laundry plumbing leaks
Why Immediate Leak Detection Matters
A hidden leak doesn’t stop simply because the visible water has slowed down.
Delaying repairs may lead to:
- Ongoing water damage
- Mould growth
- Structural deterioration
- Higher water bills
- Damaged flooring
- Damaged cabinetry
- Electrical hazards
- More expensive repairs
Early diagnosis often results in simpler, more cost-effective repairs.

What an Experienced Emergency Plumber Wants You to Know
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is trying to find the leak themselves by removing plaster, lifting flooring or cutting into walls.
Without identifying the actual source of the problem, this often creates more damage than necessary.
Our advice is simple: stop the water if you can, keep your family safe and let an experienced plumber locate the source properly before any repairs begin.
