Ring first, worry second

Before anything else, shut the water down. If a pipe has split, the main stop tap at the meter stops the flood in seconds, and knowing where it sits before a crisis is worth ten minutes of any afternoon.

Then ring. The three emergencies below cannot wait for a convenient booking, and each has its own page with the full detail on what happens when we arrive:

Emergency jobs we attend

The middle-of-the-night calls on this peninsula fall into a handful of familiar patterns. Start with the one that matches your problem:

Burst Water Pipes

A split line flooding a laundry gets priority from the moment you ring: main shut, burst located, repair quoted before work starts. More on the burst pipes page.

An Overflowing Toilet

A cistern that keeps running or a pan backing up needs a plumber today, and the fix sits in the inlet valve or the blockage below. The toilet overflowing page has it.

No Hot Water

A dead tank with the household waiting on showers is an emergency, and on same-age estate stock it is a call we know well. The no hot water page covers the diagnosis.

Gas Fitting Faults

A gas appliance that smells wrong or a fitting that has failed needs a licensed plumber promptly, and the gas fitting page sets out what we attend and how.

Hidden Leaks

A bill climbing with no visible cause, or a damp patch spreading behind a wall, points to a leak that worsens the longer it runs. The leak detection page explains the tracing.

Drains Backing Up

A sewer line surging into the yard or a stormwater pit overflowing in a storm cannot wait either, and the camera gear finds the cause fast. The blocked drains page covers clearing.

Why this peninsula batches its emergencies

Four things about how the suburb was built and where it sits keep the emergency phone busy, and knowing them helps you spot trouble before it floods anything.

Flexi hoses that rupture while nobody's home

Budget bathroom refreshes through the estate stock left braided flexi hoses under vanities and behind laundry tubs, and these split without warning, flooding while tenants are out for the day. A stainless replacement takes minutes and buys years.

Hot water tanks that fail together

The commission-era closes went up between 1982 and 1987, and the tanks installed in that wave age out together too, so a single cold month can take out several units on the one close. When yours goes, the neighbours' are usually close behind.

Corrosion-thinned pipe near the water

The waterfront cottages around Lake Street run supply lines that have taken decades of salt-laden air, and the thinnest sections split under pressure spikes, often where the pipe passes beneath a concrete path. Rusty water at the first morning draw is the early warning worth acting on.

Storms that surcharge the low ground

A southerly buster shoving water up against the point can coincide with a downpour that overwhelms the low gullies by the foreshore, and stormwater pits on the lower cross-streets overflow in minutes.

When the emergencies cluster

The calendar drives the call-outs here as much as the pipework does, and it helps to know which season brings which fault.

Winter is tank season.

The same-age hot water units across the estate reach the end together, so the cold months bring runs of no-hot-water calls from the closes, often several in the one week.

Summer is corrosion season.

Breezes off the lake work on outdoor fittings all year, and a pre-summer check of relief valves and exposed pipework near the point catches the failures before they become floods.

Storm season is overflow season.

When a southerly buster lands during a downpour, the low blocks by the water and the boat ramp end of Middle Point Road cop the worst of it, and backed-up stormwater follows.

The four steps on an emergency call

  1. 1

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 4063 3450 and tell us what's going on in Bolton Point. We'll ask a few quick questions so the right gear is on the truck the first time.

  2. 2

    Quote before work

    You get the price before anything starts. No call-out fee, no hourly surprises; you approve the quote or we shake hands and leave, no charge.

  3. 3

    Make safe, then fix

    The water or the overflow gets stopped first, the fault gets diagnosed with whatever the call needs, and the repair itself is done to the quote you approved, not around it.

  4. 4

    Backed, no questions asked

    If something isn't up to standard afterwards, we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That's the standard every Bolton Point job is held to.

Four reasons callers ring back

$0 Call Out

Getting us to your door in Bolton Point costs nothing. You pay for work you approve, not for the drive.

Quote First, Always

The price is agreed before a tool comes out. What you approve is what you pay.

Licensed Local Plumbers

Every job is done by licensed plumbers who work Bolton Point and the surrounding Hunter suburbs week in, week out.

Made Right, No Questions Asked

If something isn't up to standard, we come back and make it right. No arguing, no fine print.

Those four matter most at 2am, when the last thing you need is a debate about what the visit costs before a single spanner moves.

Streets on the emergency run

The whole peninsula gets covered, from the old cottages down by the point, up the ridge to the estate closes past Quigley Road. Prospect Avenue and Bay Road are both on the regular route, and the run also takes in the adjoining suburbs of Woodrising and Fennell Bay.

Tell us your street on the phone and we'll confirm the run covers it.

Questions we get at all hours

What counts as an emergency worth ringing about?

Water you cannot shut off, a toilet that will not stop running, and no hot water anywhere in the house are the big three. If a fault is actively damaging the property, ring.

Should I turn the water off at the meter before you arrive?

Yes, if you can reach the meter safely. Shutting the main stop tap stops a burst line or split flexi hose adding to the damage while you wait, and it takes seconds.

Do you attend emergencies in the Housing Commission estate streets?

We do. The estate closes around Quigley Road are regular stops, because the original fittings there went in during one construction wave between 1982 and 1987 and are now failing in batches.

How fast can you get to a burst pipe?

Burst pipes go to the top of the day's run. Ring early and we can usually be there the same day, schedule permitting, so ring the moment you find it.

Is there a call-out fee on emergency jobs?

No. Every job starts with a $0 call out and a clear quote before any work begins, emergency or otherwise. You approve the price or we shake hands and leave, no charge.

What if the emergency turns out to be a bigger job?

The quote covers what we find, and if the fix needs parts or a follow-up visit, that goes in writing too. Nothing proceeds beyond the immediate make-safe without your approval.
