plumbing emergency photos before after
We use systematic imagery so you can judge repair quality and likely lifespan at a glance.
How to view and interpret our repair galleries
Our galleries are organised by fault type so you can compare similar issues and expected steps. Each set starts with a clear image of the initial condition and lists visible signs like water staining, pooling or cracked fittings.
We add objective checks such as CCTV stills of cleared drains and pressure testing readouts after seal or valve work. These measurements back up the visual record.
What the “after” images prove about workmanship and durability
After images show restored function: watertight seals, re‑pressurised lines and debris‑free drains. They also highlight tidy installation details that matter for longevity.
- Straight, secure pipe runs and correct fall for drains.
- Proper isolation valves, neat bracketing and corrosion protection.
- Supporting evidence like pressure test values that confirm the fix.
We explain the cause for each job and what we did to prevent recurring damage. This helps you spot quality workmanship and decide on the right repair option for your property.

FAQ
How quickly can you respond to an urgent burst pipe in Melbourne?
We aim to be on-site within minutes of your call for metropolitan addresses. Our local crews operate 24/7, isolate the main supply to limit water damage, and begin temporary repairs straight away before arranging a permanent solution.
Do you document repairs with images and diagnostics?
Yes. We take clear before-and-after images and, when needed, CCTV footage for drain work. These visuals show the defect, the repair process and the finished outcome so you can verify workmanship and durability.
Will we get a transparent quote before work starts?
Absolutely. After an initial assessment we provide a concise quote and scope of work. We only proceed once you approve costs and timing, and we explain any parts, labour and potential follow-up checks.
Can you fix blocked drains and toilets caused by tree roots or grease?
Yes. We use CCTV inspection to locate obstructions, then employ high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding or targeted repairs. We recommend corrective measures to reduce recurrence, such as root cutting and pipe lining where appropriate.
Do you replace hot water systems the same day?
In many cases we can complete same-day replacement using reputable brands like Rinnai and Dux, subject to part availability and site conditions. We test the system after installation to ensure safe pressure and operation.
How do you limit water damage during emergency taps, toilets or pipe failures?
Our teams isolate the relevant valves, employ temporary shut-offs or bypasses, extract standing water and perform emergency repairs. We prioritise preventing secondary damage and can coordinate with restorers if extensive drying is needed.
Are your technicians qualified and insured?
Yes. Our plumbers are licensed, insured and experienced in residential and commercial work across Melbourne. We follow industry safety standards and provide certificates for major replacements when required.
What brands and parts do you use for replacements?
We partner with trusted brands such as Rinnai, Dux, Caroma and Metflow for parts and fixtures. Using quality components helps ensure long-term performance and supports any manufacturer warranties.
How do you verify repair quality after the work?
We conduct pressure and leak tests, run functional checks on fixtures and take after photos. For drain repairs we may re-run CCTV to confirm the fix. We document results and leave you a clear report.
Can you work on commercial or strata properties outside normal hours?
Yes. We service residential homes, apartments, commercial sites and strata complexes 24/7. We coordinate with building managers to minimise disruption and provide clear pricing for after-hours attendance.
What should we do while waiting for your arrival after a leak or burst?
Turn off the mains if safe, isolate affected fixtures, place buckets to catch drips and move valuables away from water. If unsure, call our 24/7 line and we’ll guide you through immediate steps to reduce damage.
Do you offer maintenance to prevent future issues like blocked drains or leaks?
Yes. We provide scheduled maintenance, drain cleaning and inspections tailored to your property. Regular servicing reduces the risk of urgent failures and can extend the life of pipes, valves and hot water systems.
How is pricing structured for emergency call-outs at night or on weekends?
We apply a clear after-hours surcharge for rapid response cover. The total price includes call-out, labour, materials and any necessary testing. We always confirm costs before proceeding with non-critical work.
Can you provide a fast quote and an arrival window?
Yes. Call our 24/7 number, 1800 571 216, or request a quote online. We provide a prompt price estimate and give an arrival window so you know when our crew will reach you.
