Our emergency plumber equipment
A well‑chosen toolset on every van helps us find faults fast and restore flow with minimal fuss.
We equip OnCall vans with CCTV drain cameras, high‑pressure jetters and transfer pumps from trusted brands. These allow accurate diagnosis and quick rectification without unnecessary demolition.
CCTV drain cameras, high-pressure jetters and transfer pumps
CCTV cameras let us inspect inside pipes and pinpoint blockages or root ingress. High‑pressure jetters break down grease and scale. Transfer pumps remove standing water fast so repairs can begin.
Leak detection, thermal imaging and licensed gas safety gear
We also carry acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to find hidden hot water faults and leaks. For gas work we bring licensed gas testing tools and compliant isolation gear.
- Our skilled plumbers pair tech with experience to distinguish structural pipe faults from simple build‑up.
- Having the full suite on the van often means same‑visit outcomes, even overnight.
- We document compliant testing for critical gas and water systems and plan permanent repairs.
For reliable, Melbourne‑wide plumbing services call 1800 571 216 or visit emergency plumber Sandringham for local support.
CCTV drain cameras for fast, accurate diagnostics
CCTV inspections give us a real-time view inside pipes so we can spot faults fast and plan the right fix.
Our camera feeds let us locate blockages, intrusions and collapses without digging. We find roots, collapsed sections, foreign objects and fat build-up and decide the best path for effective solutions.
Saving time and cost with no-dig assessment and clear reporting
No-dig inspections reduce garden and driveway disruption and speed repairs. We record footage and produce clear reports to explain the fault, options and expected asset life.
- Live footage guides targeted repairs and supports insurance or strata claims.
- We pair CCTV with jetting to clear obstructions and confirm flow restoration on the spot.
- Fast diagnosis minimises repeat overflows and limits water damage to structures and finishes.
| Benefit | Typical finding | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Blockage identified | Fix planned within minutes |
| Cost | Less excavation | Lower repair bill |
| Evidence | Recorded footage | Clear report for claims |
We offer 24/7 assessments across Melbourne for urgent drainage and plumbing issues. Call 1800 571 216 for prompt, professional service.
High‑pressure water jetters for stubborn blockages
When blockages resist basic clearing, we turn to targeted high‑pressure jetting for a lasting result. Jetting uses controlled water pressure to remove grease, scale and minor root ingress without digging up pipes.
Cutting through grease, roots and scale for effective solutions
How it works: a specialist hose and nozzle directs high‑velocity water to break deposits and flush debris from the pipe wall. This restores full flow and lowers the chance of quick re‑blockage when paired with CCTV verification.
- Jetting dives deeper than plunging or snaking, giving a cleaner, longer‑lasting result.
- We select nozzle type and pressure to suit pipe material and condition to avoid damage.
- Common uses include kitchens, bathrooms, sewer lines and stormwater drains where build‑up recurs.
- We can combine jetting with enzyme treatments and maintenance plans to reduce future callouts.
- Safety measures include backflow control and containment to protect interiors and finishes.
| Method | Depth of clean | Typical outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Plunging/snaking | Surface‑level | Short‑term relief |
| High‑pressure jetting | Deep clean | Restored capacity, fewer returns |
| Jetting + CCTV | Verified clearance | Documented fix and confidence |
We deploy jetters rapidly across Melbourne to keep costs fair and restore operation to homes and businesses. Call 1800 571 216 for prompt service and effective water system cleaning.
Pumps, dewatering and rapid water removal
Rapid pump-down is often the fastest way to stop water spreading and protect a property from further harm.
We bring transfer, sump and sewer pumps to incidents across Melbourne to control flooding and protect interiors. Our teams use durable, reputable brands so the job runs reliably.
Sump, sewer and transfer pumps to control flooding
We deploy pumps for burst pipes, sewer overflows, appliance failure and storm events to remove standing water quickly.
- Sump and sewer pumps cut standing water to limit structural saturation.
- Transfer pumps move water from tight or hard-to-reach spaces to safe discharge points.
- We carry hoses, fittings and power options to work in constrained locations.
Protecting interiors and assets during a plumbing incident
Our process is clear: isolate the source, disconnect affected fixtures, pump out, then sanitise and dry the area.
We protect contents with temporary barriers and place discharge lines to avoid further harm. Fast dewatering speeds repair work on pipework, walls and floors and helps reinstate your water system correctly.
| Action | Benefit | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Pump-down | Less saturation | Faster repairs |
| Containment | Protected contents | Lower replacement cost |
| Sanitise & dry | Safer access | Restoration ready |
We provide 24/7 Melbourne coverage for immediate pump‑down and stabilisation. Call 1800 571 216 for prompt emergency plumbing service.
Hot water systems: emergency diagnostics and repairs
A sudden loss of hot water or odd temperature swings needs clear checks to identify the fault quickly.
We repair and replace Melbourne hot water systems around the clock. Our team works with reputable brands to deliver reliable, affordable outcomes.
Electric, gas and continuous flow hot water repairs
First, we check power to the unit and assess pressure via relief valves. We inspect for leaks and visible faults to decide whether to isolate or repair the unit.
Restoring pressure, fixing leaks and replacing failed components
Common fixes include replacing thermostats, heating elements, valves, burners and controllers. We aim to restore flow and temperature with the safest, fastest option.
- We diagnose no hot water, temperature swings and pressure drops on electric, gas and continuous flow systems.
- We repair valves, elements and controllers or recommend efficient replacements when units reach end of life.
- We act quickly on leaks to protect structure and prevent wider water damage.
- We balance urgency with safety where gas or scald risks exist and keep you informed on costs and timeframes.
- We offer maintenance advice to reduce future call‑outs and keep parts for common brands to speed hot water repairs in a single visit.
| Issue | Check | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| No hot water | Power, element, pilot | Replace element or relight pilot |
| Temperature fluctuations | Thermostat, control board | Calibrate or replace thermostat |
| Pressure drop or leak | Relief valve, pipe joints | Replace valve, tighten or replace fittings |
| End of life unit | Age, frequency of faults | Recommend efficient replacement |
We provide 24/7 hot water service across Melbourne. Contact OnCall Emergency Plumbers on 1800 571 216 for prompt, professional plumbing support.

Burst pipes, hidden leaks and pipe repairs
Stopping water flow fast protects floors and wiring — then we find the leak without tearing out finishes.
Non-invasive leak detection and fast pipe isolation
First action: we shut the main supply to halt a burst pipe or concealed leak and limit further water damage.
Next we use acoustic and thermal detection to pinpoint faults. This avoids unnecessary demolition and speeds repairs.
Permanent repairs with quality materials
We stabilise the area, assess cause — age, corrosion, movement or impact — then present repair options.
- Permanent fixes use durable fittings suited to your building and plumbing system.
- We advise on pressure regulation and preventive measures to reduce recurrence.

Blocked drains cleared with precision
Blocked drains demand accurate diagnosis — we use camera inspections to see the problem before we act.
We run CCTV to identify the cause and then select the right clearing method. Where needed, we apply high‑pressure jetting to remove grease, scale and roots. After clearing, we test and retest flow to confirm the line is sound.
Our approach reduces repeat callouts and protects finishes. We keep work areas clean and use methods that limit disruption to gardens, driveways and interiors.
