When should you ring tonight instead of waiting?
A dripping tap can sit overnight. These can't:
- Water pouring from a ceiling, wall or under the floor
- A tap or fitting you cannot shut off
- A sewer overflow reaching living areas
- Every tap in the house gone dry
- Gas you can smell in a room or by the meter box
A basin that drains slowly or a tap that drips can be booked for daylight hours. Those five warrant a call as soon as you spot them.
What a night callout here covers
The urgent work splits into three groups, and each gets treated on the spot:
Escaping water
Overflow and blockage
Hot water and gas
A burst pipe: first moves before we arrive
A burst keeps spreading water until the supply is off, and the first moves need no tools.
- Turn the stop tap next to the water meter clockwise until it stops. The whole house is then off.
- Open a garden tap. Draining the pressure stops the push through the split.
- Switch the hot water system off at the board if the water is anywhere near it.
- Lift floor rugs, cardboard and power leads clear of the water, then ring (02) 4093 0558.
Carpet and timber floors soak up water fast, so do these before anything else.
Booking the emergency visit
From the first ring to the water stopped, the callout runs the same four steps every time:
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4093 0558 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
The water stops first
The shut-off at the meter gets closed or the failed line isolated, so the damage stops growing while the fault is traced and fixed.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
How is after-hours work priced?
Pricing a job at night comes down to:
- The hour Anything from late evening to dawn is dearer than a weekday booking, and you know by how much before the van moves.
- Access A burst under a subfloor or above a ceiling means lifting and drying time that a burst behind a laundry wall does not.
- Parts Common fittings travel with us; a part that has to be ordered in can mean a temporary repair tonight and a return visit.
- The extent A repair that holds the line tonight may be the full fix, or the first stage, and the camera decides which before you commit.
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
When we're not the right call
Water bubbling up through the footpath or the road, before it ever reaches your meter, is for Hunter Water's faults line. Scorch marks on the fuse box, or power that drops out whenever the hot water heats, need a sparky before any plumber.
How this peninsula breaks its pipes
Old lines, sudden endings
Salt on three sides
Storm nights on low ground

Where the work goes next
An emergency callout can open a bigger question. These hubs pick up where the night call ends:
Hot water service and repair
For a unit that failed once and will fail again
Gas fitting and gas leaks
For anything from a smell to a full appliance install
Blocked drains and sewers
When the overflow traced back to a blocked line
Hidden water leak tracing
For damp that arrived without a burst
What people ask when it's urgent
A pipe has burst in my Wangi Wangi home. What do I do first?
Turn off the stop tap at the water meter, run an outside tap to bleed off the pressure, and lift anything water can spoil off the floor. If the leak is near the hot water unit, switch that off at the power box too. Then ring (02) 4093 0558 and describe what you can see.
My floor waste backed up after a storm on a low-lying street. Is that urgent?
If water is coming inside, yes, ring now. After heavy rain the low lines near the lake surcharge, so what rises through the floor waste may be stormwater rather than sewage. The line gets cleared that night, and you hear whether the stormwater run needs more work later.
Does it cost more for you to come out at night?
Yes. Midnight and Sunday visits sit on a dearer rate than weekday daylight, and we name it during that first phone call. After the burst or blockage has been inspected, the fix gets its own fixed figure for you to accept or decline.
Who pays for a burst pipe on the nature strip?
Hunter Water looks after the service pipe between the main and your meter, so a split there goes on their fault line. Past the meter, toward the house, the owner is responsible, and that stretch is what we repair and warrant.
