Emergency plumbing, day or night
North & Home Plumbing runs a 24/7 emergency line for burst pipes, sewage overflows and major leaks in Bulimba and Brisbane’s inner east.
What is a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is a problem that will cause damage, health risk or loss of essential services if it waits. Burst pipes, sewage coming up through drains, water near electrical fittings and a smell of gas all count.
North & Home Plumbing answers its emergency line 24 hours a day. A plumber talks you through making the home safe while we are on the way, such as turning off the water main, then stops the damage and makes a safe repair.
When to call us
- Burst or split water pipes
- Sewage coming up through drains, toilets or the yard
- Major leaks you cannot stop
