EMERGENCY PLUMBING SERVICES
BURST PIPES & MAJOR LEAKS
A burst pipe or significant water leak can cause damage quickly if left unattended.
Luke can locate the source of the problem, isolate the affected area where required and carry out appropriate repairs to help prevent further water damage.
BLOCKED & OVERFLOWING DRAINS
A severely blocked drain, overflowing toilet or wastewater backing up into the property requires prompt attention.
Luke can assess the blockage, clear the affected drainage and investigate recurring problems where further inspection may be required.
HOT WATER PROBLEMS
No hot water can quickly become a major inconvenience, particularly for families and businesses.
Onboard Plumbing & Gas can assess hot water system faults and advise whether repair, replacement or further investigation is required.
URGENT GAS ISSUES
If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, the issue should be taken seriously.
Luke is a licensed gas fitter and can inspect gas pipework, fittings and appliances to help identify the source of the problem and carry out appropriate repairs.

Water leaking rapidly or continuously
A burst or damaged water pipe
Water backing up into sinks, showers or toilets

A plumbing issue causing property damage
Some plumbing problems can cause significant damage if left unattended. If an issue is urgent or worsening quickly, seek professional assistance as soon as possible.
PROFESSIONAL EMERGENCY PLUMBING
When an urgent plumbing problem occurs, identifying the cause quickly is just as important as dealing with the immediate issue.
Luke can assess the problem, explain what has happened and carry out the appropriate repair or recommend the next steps required.
The aim is to help restore your plumbing safely while reducing the risk of further damage or the same problem returning.
LEAK & PROBLEM DETECTION
If the cause of a plumbing problem is not immediately obvious, further investigation can help identify what is happening behind the scenes.
Luke can assess plumbing systems and pipework to help identify issues such as:
✔ Hidden water leaks
✔ Damaged or burst pipes
✔ Recurring drainage problems
✔ Faulty fixtures or connections
✔ Hot water system faults
✔ Water pressure issues
Once the problem has been identified, Luke can explain the available repair options and recommend the most appropriate next step.
WHAT CAN CAUSE PLUMBING EMERGENCIES?
BURST OR DAMAGED PIPEWORK
Ageing pipes, corrosion, accidental damage or failed connections can cause water to escape quickly and potentially damage surrounding areas.
SEVERE DRAIN BLOCKAGES
Tree roots, grease, waste build-up or damaged drainage pipes can lead to complete blockages, overflowing fixtures or wastewater backing up into the property.
FAILED FIXTURES & CONNECTIONS
Flexible hoses, taps, toilets, valves and plumbing connections can deteriorate or fail unexpectedly, resulting in significant leaks.
HOT WATER SYSTEM FAULTS
Hot water systems can develop leaks, pressure problems or other faults that may require prompt assessment.
GAS LEAKS OR DAMAGED GAS CONNECTIONS
Damaged pipework, faulty appliance connections or deteriorated fittings can create potentially serious gas issues that should be professionally investigated.
URGENT REPAIRS & LONGER-TERM SOLUTIONS
Fixing the immediate plumbing problem is sometimes only part of the solution.
Where an inspection identifies damaged pipework, recurring blockages, deteriorated fittings or another underlying issue, Luke can explain the available repair options and recommend the most appropriate next step.
The goal is not simply to stop the immediate problem, but to help reduce the likelihood of the same issue occurring again.
WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING FOR A PLUMBER
If you are dealing with an urgent plumbing problem, taking a few simple steps may help limit damage while assistance is on the way.
Where safe and appropriate:
-
Turn off the affected fixture or appliance
-
Shut off the property's water supply if there is a major leak
-
Avoid using overflowing or blocked fixtures
-
Keep people away from areas where water may be near electrical equipment
-
Avoid flames and ignition sources if you suspect a gas leak
-
Move belongings away from leaking water where possible
