Your Coffs Harbour 24-Hour Plumber Lifeline

Plumbing meltdowns have a knack for choosing the absolute worst moment. That dreaded gurgling crescendo followed by a burst pipe at 3am, just as the waves crash peacefully outside your Woolgoolga home. Or returning from a relaxing day at the Coffs Harbour Jetty to find your toilet has decided to stage its own indoor water feature. These aren’t just minor hiccups; they’re full-blown plumbing pandemonium! At Emerald Beach Plumbing, we understand that disasters don’t keep office hours.

When the unexpected strikes your Coffs Coast property, whether it’s a Saturday night drain blockage backing up into your laundry after a big family barbie, or a Monday morning hot water tank explosion leaving you facing a cold shower before work, you need a local emergency plumber you can count on, 24/7.

With over 30 years of experience, our team has handled all sorts of urgent issues. Trust us to arrive with the expertise and the right tools to tackle the chaos head-on and restore calm to your corner of Coffs Coast paradise.

Plumbing Panic? What to Do Before Your Coffs Harbour Emergency Plumber Arrives!

While our emergency service is there to get to you FAST, knowing a few immediate steps can make a big difference in minimising damage and keeping everyone safe while you wait for us.

Here are a few quick tips for what to do in general emergency plumbing situations:

Burst pipe or major water leak:

  • Turn off the main water supply: If safe, locate your main water tap (usually at the meter near your front boundary) and turn it off.
  • Move valuables: Shift any electrical items or important belongings away from the wet area to prevent further damage.

If you suspect a gas leak:

  • EVACUATE: Get everyone out of the building first.
  • Call us from outside: Use your mobile or a neighbour’s phone from a safe distance.
  • NO sparks: Do not operate any light switches, power points, or anything electrical.
  • Extinguish flames: Put out any open flames immediately (candles, cigarettes, etc.).
  • Ventilate: Open windows and doors to let fresh air circulate.
  • Turn off gas (if safe): If you know where your gas meter is and feel safe doing so, turn off the main gas valve.

Overflowing toilet or sewer backup:

  • Don’t flush again: This will likely make it worse.
  • Turn off toilet water: If possible, turn off the small tap (water supply valve) usually found near the base of the toilet or on the wall behind it.
  • Keep clear: Ensure people and pets stay well away from the affected area due to potential contamination.

Your Urgent Coffs Harbour Plumbing Repair Questions Answered

I need help on a public holiday! Are you really available?

Absolutely! Plumbing emergencies don’t take holidays and neither do we. Our after-hours plumbing services mean we have plumbers on call 24/7, 365 days a year, including all public holidays and weekends. Don’t hesitate to call if you have an urgent blocked toilet or sewer backup, a gas leak, or any stormwater damage. We’ll be there!

Loud noises and water leaking from your hot water system can indicate a serious problem, like a burst tank or a major valve failure. It’s best to turn off the water supply to the unit if you can safely do so, as well as the power (for electric systems) or gas supply. Then, call our after-hours plumbing team immediately.

We understand that for businesses, downtime equals lost income. Our 24/7 plumbing service for Coffs Harbour businesses is designed for rapid response. We aim to get to you quickly, assess the situation and make the area safe to prevent further damage and minimise how long your operations are affected. We can also provide any necessary reports for insurance, like a leak detection report, if that’s part of the issue.
