Tap not turning off
Turn off your water supply at the metre, generally located at the front of the property. For units and villas, locate the separate isolation valve and turn the valve off in a clockwise direction.
Burst water pipe
Turn off water supply if safe to do so. Remove all electronics, appliances, children and pets away from the pipe.
Sewer blockage
Minimise water usage to prevent overflow from increasing and clear area to avoid damage.
Roof leaks
Catch the water to prevent damage to your property. If leak appears to be close to electricals, you must also contact an electrician. For severe leaks due to storm damage, call the SES on
132 500.
Hot Water & Gas Emergencies

Isolate power source at the metre or fuse box. You will find a stop tap located adjacent to the hot water system; turn off in clockwise direction.
No hot water (electric)
Check the fuse box and ensure hot water switch is turned on.
No hot water (gas)
Check that your gas cylinder is not empty and make sure your gas switch is turned on.
Gas leak
Turn
gas off immediately and turn off all appliances. If safe to do so, open all your doors and windows to ventilate the house.
Signs You Need An Emergency Plumber
Leaks or flooding
It's not uncommon for you to spot small puddles on your bathroom floor, but if puddles start to form even though your bath or shower hasn't been used, this is a sign you have a leak. Look out as well for watermarks on your walls and ceilings.
Unpleasant smells
If you notice there is a persistently bad smell in the air around your home, it may indicate your internal plumbing system has started to fail. This could be caused by a number of things, including a blockage, so contact an emergency plumber as soon as possible.
Water shortage
Leaks and floods are a nightmare, but a shortage of water is just as inconvenient. If nothing is running from your taps when you turn them on, an emergency plumber from
Emerald Beach Plumbing Service will be able to spot where the problem has occurred and fix it without causing further damage.
Unusual sounds
If you can hear water running when a sink, shower or toilet isn't in use, it could be a sign of a leak. Gurgling sounds can also indicate you have a blockage somewhere, so take a look around your house and check for any stains.

Helpful Tips to Manage Plumbing Emergencies Before We Arrive
While we aim to arrive quickly, there are a few things you can do to protect your property and stay safe while waiting. Knowing how to respond in those first few minutes can reduce damage and make the repair process easier once we’re on-site.
How to Shut Off Water at the Mains
If a pipe has burst or water is flooding through your home, the first step is to turn off your water supply at the mains. This prevents further damage and buys valuable time until we arrive. If you’re unsure where your shut-off valve is located, it’s worth finding it before an emergency strikes.
Contain the Issue and Stay Safe
Try to contain water using towels, buckets or by turning off fixtures nearby. Avoid electrical areas or using appliances near water. If you suspect a gas leak, leave the premises and don’t use any electrical switches. Once you’re in a safe spot, call your trusted emergency plumber in Coffs Harbour and we’ll take it from there.
