What Is a Plumbing Emergency?

Not all plumbing issues require immediate attention—but some do. A plumbing emergency is any situation where the problem poses a risk to your safety, property, or everyday living conditions. These aren’t just minor inconveniences; they’re urgent issues that demand fast, expert intervention.

In practical terms, a plumbing emergency can involve anything from uncontrolled water leaks to sanitation hazards. If left unaddressed, these situations can lead to property damage, mould growth, water contamination, or even structural concerns. They can also interrupt essential daily functions—like showering, using the toilet, or running a business—making it impossible to go about your day normally.

For example, a burst pipe is one of the most common emergencies we attend in Merrylands. When a pipe cracks or splits, water can gush out rapidly, damaging flooring, walls, and ceilings. The longer it continues, the more extensive and expensive the cleanup becomes. We treat this type of emergency with immediate priority—isolating the leak, containing the damage, and making professional repairs on the spot.

Another urgent issue is a blocked or overflowing toilet, especially if it’s the only one in the house. Aside from the hygiene concern, it creates a stressful situation where your household is left without a functioning bathroom. If water or waste starts backing up into sinks, tubs, or the yard, it’s a sign of a deeper blockage that must be cleared promptly.

Hot water system failures also fall under the emergency umbrella—particularly during colder months or in homes with elderly residents, young children, or those with health conditions. No hot water can significantly affect comfort and hygiene, and in some cases, may indicate a gas or electrical fault within the unit.

Speaking of gas, one of the most dangerous emergencies we encounter is the smell of gas inside or around the home. Even a faint odour should never be ignored. A suspected gas leak is a serious safety hazard and must be handled immediately by a licensed professional. We respond urgently to all gas-related calls, shut off the supply if necessary, and carry out leak detection and repairs to secure your property.

During heavy rainfall, we’re often called to resolve stormwater drain blockages or flooding, particularly in low-lying areas of Merrylands. If water starts pooling in your yard, driveway, or creeping towards your home’s foundation, it’s vital to act quickly. Stormwater that doesn’t drain properly can undermine structural supports and enter indoor areas, causing both damage and health risks.

Even something as seemingly small as a tap or mixer that won’t turn off can escalate if left alone. Constant water flow can waste hundreds of litres in just a few hours—and if it floods a bathroom or laundry, it can damage cabinetry, walls, or neighbouring units in shared dwellings.

These aren’t problems that can be “kept an eye on” or dealt with later. Plumbing emergencies escalate quickly, leading to higher repair costs, insurance claims, and unnecessary stress if not resolved promptly. That’s why our team at Stay Connected Plumbing treats every emergency call with the seriousness it deserves.

We respond quickly, arrive with the tools and parts needed to act immediately, and work efficiently to restore safety and functionality to your plumbing system—so you can get back to normal life without delay.

What to Do While You Wait for the Plumber

If you’re facing a plumbing emergency in Merrylands, the best thing you can do is act fast—but stay safe. Here’s what you can do before we arrive:

• Turn off the water supply at the main valve if water is flowing uncontrollably from a burst pipe or fitting.
  
  
• Shut off the gas meter if you smell gas, and ventilate the area by opening doors and windows.
  
  
• Avoid using electrical appliances near any water-affected area.
  
  
• Keep kids and pets away from wet or unsafe zones.
  
  
• Call us immediately and describe what’s happening. We’ll offer advice over the phone and dispatch a technician straight away.
  
  

Even if you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, give us a call. We’d rather talk it through with you than have you wait and risk further damage.

Common Emergency Plumbing Scenarios We Fix

We’ve seen just about every kind of plumbing emergency, but here are some of the most frequent callouts we handle across Merrylands:

Burst Pipes

Often caused by ageing pipework, ground movement, or high water pressure, burst pipes can cause serious damage fast. We isolate the source, stop the flow, and repair or replace the damaged section to prevent recurrence.

Blocked Toilets

When the only toilet in the house is backing up, it’s more than inconvenient—it’s a hygiene issue. We respond quickly, clear the blockage, and check for deeper sewer problems using advanced drain inspection tools.

No Hot Water

If your hot water system has failed unexpectedly—especially in the colder months—we’ll diagnose the issue on the spot. Whether it’s a faulty thermostat, failed ignition, or system beyond repair, we’ll advise on the best immediate solution.

Gas Leaks

Gas smells are a serious safety concern. Our licensed gas fitters will identify the source, shut it down, and carry out safe, compliant repairs. We’ll test your appliances and lines before reconnecting service to give you full peace of mind.

Overflowing Drains and Stormwater

After heavy rain, blocked outdoor drains can lead to flooding around your property. We arrive equipped to clear stormwater blockages and protect your home from water ingress and structural damage.
