Common Emergency Plumbing Issues We Fix
Plumbing emergencies come in many forms. Over the years, we’ve seen and repaired every urgent plumbing issue imaginable. Here are some of the most common emergencies our Gold Coast plumbers handle promptly and professionally:
Burst Pipes & Water Leaks
A burst pipe or major water leak can cause significant damage to your property in minutes. Common causes include aging pipes, corrosion, extreme water pressure, or accidental damage from digging. If you notice a burst pipe, gushing water, or hidden leaking pipes (such as damp walls or ceilings), call our team right away. We will quickly shut off your water supply, assess the damage, and perform immediate pipe repairs or replacements. Our plumbers arrive with all the tools and materials needed to fix burst or leaking pipes on the spot, preventing further water damage and saving you money in the long run.
Blocked Drains & Sewer Backups
Severely blocked drains or a backed-up sewer line are messy and hazardous emergencies. Signs include water pooling in sinks or showers, toilets that won’t flush, foul odours, or sewage overflowing from outdoor drains. Our emergency drain plumbers use advanced equipment like electric eels and CCTV drain cameras to identify and clear blockages fast. Whether it’s a stubborn clog, tree roots invading your sewer line, or a collapsed pipe, we’ll find the cause and restore the flow. We make sure any sewer line emergencies are fully resolved – once we clear the immediate blockage, we can also provide a long-term fix (such as pipe relining or replacement) to prevent future issues. Need help with a persistent blockage? See our Blocked Drains service page for expert solutions.
Gas Leaks & Safety Inspections
The smell of gas or a hissing sound near a gas appliance is a serious emergency. Gas leaks pose dangers of fire or explosion and require immediate professional attention. Our team includes licensed gas fitters who specialise in emergency gas leak detection and repairs. If you suspect a gas leak, we’ll advise you to turn off the gas at the meter and ventilate the area, then rush out to locate and fix the problem. Using electronic gas detectors and soapy water testing, we pinpoint the leak – be it a cracked gas pipe, faulty valve, or loose fitting. We’ll safely repair or replace the damaged section and perform thorough safety inspections to ensure your home is gas-safe before we leave. Your family’s safety is our top priority, and we take every precaution to handle gas emergencies with utmost care and urgency.
Hot Water System Failures
No hot water when you least expect it? A hot water system failure can be more than just inconvenient – it can be an emergency, especially if the unit is leaking or has caused an electrical issue. Our emergency plumbers are experts in all types of hot water systems (electric, gas, and solar). We respond quickly to get your hot water back up and running. If your hot water tank has burst or a critical component has failed, we can often carry out on-the-spot repairs. In cases of a complete system breakdown, we’ll isolate the unit to make it safe and, if needed, help with a fast replacement. We carry temporary hot water units in our service vehicles to provide interim solutions whenever possible. From restoring your hot showers to ensuring there are no electrical hazards, we handle hot water emergencies swiftly and professionally. Unsure whether to repair or replace your hot water unit? Check out our Hot Water Systems page for guidance.
Stormwater & Flooding Emergencies
Gold Coast storms can be intense, and heavy rain may overwhelm your stormwater drainage or gutters, leading to sudden flooding around your property. If your yard is turning into a lake or water is entering your home during a downpour, you have a plumbing emergency on your hands. Our plumbers are equipped to address storm-related plumbing issues quickly. We can clear blocked outdoor drains, fix broken stormwater pipes, and set up temporary pumps to divert water away from your home. By restoring proper stormwater drainage, we protect your property’s foundations and prevent water from inundating your rooms. Don’t wait for the rain to stop – call us at the first sign of flooding or drainage overflow, and we’ll help safeguard your home from water damage.
Toilet Overflows & Major Leaks
An overflowing toilet or a major leak from your toilet can create an unhygienic mess and even cause structural damage if water seeps into floors or walls. This type of emergency often results from a blockage in the toilet or sewer line, a malfunctioning cistern, or a broken seal. If your toilet is pouring water or won’t stop flushing, turn off the water valve behind the toilet and give us a call. We’ll arrive fast to fix the issue – whether it requires clearing a stubborn clog, replacing a faulty flush valve, or resealing the base of the toilet. Similarly, any major plumbing leak (such as a burst flexi hose under a sink or a leaking hot water cylinder) is treated with urgency by our team. We will identify the source of the leak, stop it, and repair or replace the faulty component. Quick action means less wasted water and minimal damage to your property.
How Our Emergency Plumbing Services Work
When you’re faced with a plumbing emergency, Tubeline Plumbing and Drainage makes the repair process as smooth and fast as possible. Here’s how our emergency service typically works:
Immediate Response: The moment you call our emergency line (0427 696 710), our staff takes your details and asks a few quick questions about the issue. This helps us understand the situation and advise you on any immediate safety steps (like shutting off water or gas) while help is on the way.
Rapid Dispatch: We dispatch an experienced emergency plumber to your location in the Gold Coast as quickly as possible. Being local, we can reach most suburbs fast – usually within the hour. Our service vehicles are stocked with common parts and specialist equipment, so we can start solving your problem straight away.
On-Site Assessment: Upon arrival, our plumber will assess the situation and explain the cause of the problem. You’ll get a clear overview of what’s wrong and what needs to be done to fix it. We always provide a transparent quote upfront before any repair work begins, so you know exactly what to expect and can approve the work with confidence.
Urgent Repairs & Solutions: Once you give the go-ahead, we’ll proceed to fix the issue on the spot. Whether it’s patching a burst pipe, unclogging a drain, or repairing a hot water system, we work efficiently to resolve the emergency. Our team comes prepared with advanced tools – from high-pressure jetters for clearing drains to leak detection gear – to tackle the job without delay. In rare cases where a complex fix can’t be completed immediately, we’ll do a temporary repair to stabilise the situation and schedule a follow-up to finish the job ASAP.
Safety Check & Clean-Up: After resolving the immediate problem, we double-check that everything is functioning properly and that there are no further risks. For example, we re-test your water pressure, inspect the repair for any sign of leak, and ensure gas appliances are safe. We won’t leave until your plumbing emergency is fully under control. Before we go, we also tidy up any mess caused by the issue or our repair work, so your property is left clean. Finally, we’ll advise you on any preventive measures or additional repairs (if needed) to avoid future emergencies.
Throughout the process, our focus is on providing a same-day solution whenever humanly possible. We understand that when you have an urgent plumbing issue, waiting is not an option. Our combination of experience, speed, and professionalism means your emergency will be handled with minimal fuss and maximum effectiveness.

When you call Tubeline, you’re getting a trusted local plumber who genuinely wants to help.
Case Study – Fast Emergency Response: For example, when a café in Surfers Paradise suffered a burst pipe in the ceiling just an hour before opening time, they called Tubeline in a panic. We had an emergency plumber on-site within 30 minutes. He quickly located the burst in a main water line, isolated it, and replaced the damaged section of pipe. The water supply was restored shortly after, and the café managed to open with only a slight delay. The owner later praised our plumber for “saving the day with a smile and a speedy fix.” This is the level of responsive service you can expect from Tubeline – we treat your emergency as if it were our own.
FAQs About Emergency Plumbing Services
We often get questions from Gold Coast residents about our emergency plumbing services. Below are answers to some of the most common queries. (By providing this information, we hope to give you peace of mind and clarity, even in a stressful situation.)
Q: What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A: A plumbing emergency is any issue that poses an immediate risk to your property, health or safety. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, gas leaks, overflowing toilets, severe drain blockages, and sudden loss of water or hot water (especially if it could cause damage or hardship). In short, if the problem can’t wait without causing further harm or inconvenience, it’s an emergency. If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution and give us a call – we can help assess the situation and advise on next steps.
Q: What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
A: First, ensure everyone’s safety and try to mitigate damage. For water emergencies like bursts or leaks, turn off the main water supply valve (usually located near your water meter) to stop the flow. For an overflowing toilet, there’s a tap (isolation valve) on the pipe behind the toilet – turn that off to stop the water refill. If you have a leaking hot water tank, switch off the power supply to the heater (electric switch or gas isolation valve). In case of a gas leak, turn off the gas at the meter and avoid using any electrical switches or open flames. It’s a good idea to keep a basic plumbing emergency kit at home: a wrench for turning off valves, plumber’s tape, towels, and a bucket. Once you’ve taken any immediate action you can, wait in a safe area for our plumber to arrive. Our team will handle the rest as soon as we get there, and we’ll appreciate the steps you took – it helps minimise damage and makes our job quicker.
Q: How fast can your emergency plumber get to my location?
A: We strive to reach you as quickly as possible. In most cases, one of our plumbers can be at your Gold Coast location within 1 hour of your call (often sooner, depending on the time of day and your suburb). We dispatch the closest available plumber to you immediately when an emergency call comes in. Because our team is local to Gold Coast, we know the area and traffic patterns well – this local knowledge helps us choose the fastest route. Rest assured, when you call Tubeline for an emergency, we make your job the top priority and hustle to get there fast.
Q: Will an emergency plumbing repair cost more than a normal one?
A: Our emergency services are priced fairly. We do not charge call-out fees for emergencies during our standard service hours. If your emergency happens at night or on a Sunday, there may be a small after-hours surcharge to fairly compensate our on-call plumber, but we keep it very reasonable. In every case, we will explain the costs upfront before we start work. The quote you get is what you’ll pay once the job is done – no hidden fees. We know that unexpected bills can be almost as stressful as the plumbing problem itself, so we aim for complete transparency. Often, fixing an issue in an emergency (before it causes bigger damage) can save you money overall, because waiting could result in far more extensive repairs. We also accept major cards and offer payment plans for big jobs if needed, to ease any financial strain in urgent situations.
Q: Are you available on weekends and after hours for emergencies?
A: Yes – we understand that plumbing disasters don’t stick to a 9-to-5 schedule. Tubeline Plumbing and Drainage offers emergency call-out service beyond normal business hours and on weekends. Whenever you have an urgent issue, give us a ring and we’ll do our best to assist promptly, even if it’s the evening or a Sunday morning. While we don’t brand ourselves as a “24-hour plumber,” we always try to have a qualified technician on-call to respond to critical emergencies after hours. The bottom line: if you’re experiencing a plumbing emergency, we’re just a phone call away whenever it happens.
