Need help with a plumbing emergency?
When water is spreading through your home, it can be hard to know where to start. You don’t need to work out the cause before calling BHPS. We’ll ask what’s happening, help you understand the next step and explain the repairs needed to get your plumbing working again.
Signs worth checking
- Water is spreading from a pipe, fixture or hot water unit.
- Sewage is backing up indoors or the only toilet is unusable.
- A sudden plumbing failure has left the household without essential water services.
What’s the next step?
For an urgent plumbing problem, call BHPS rather than waiting for a form response. Tell us your suburb, where the water is coming from and whether you’ve been able to turn it off safely. Mention any sewage, water near electrical fittings or loss of your only toilet. We’ll help you understand what needs attention first.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
Practical questions about emergency plumbing, assessment and the next step.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Active leaks, burst pipes, overflowing fixtures, sewer backups, gas issues, and complete hot water loss can all require urgent attention depending on severity.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
If safe, isolate the water at an accessible valve. Keep away from wet electrical fittings, sewage and sagging ceilings. If you smell gas, leave the area without using flames or electrical switches and call the gas emergency number on your bill from a safe location. Call 000 for immediate danger.
Do you handle emergency hot water problems?
Yes. We diagnose urgent hot water failures and carry out repairs or replacement recommendations depending on the system condition.
Can a plumbing emergency need more than one visit?
Yes. Stopping water loss or making the plumbing safe may be separate from the permanent repair. Parts, safe access and damage to surrounding materials can affect the next stage. Ask what is safe to use and what follow-up is required.
