Call urgently when water is actively damaging the home, sewage is backing up, the only toilet cannot be used, or water is entering a ceiling or electrical area.
If it is safe and you know how, turn off the main water supply at the meter and keep clear of wet electrical areas.
Stop using toilets, sinks, showers and water-using appliances. Keep people and pets away from wastewater.
Do not light flames or operate electrical switches. Move people away and call the emergency number on your gas bill. Call 000 if there is immediate danger.
Plumbing symptoms can have more than one cause. These common warning signs can help you choose the right next step, but an inspection is needed for a reliable diagnosis.
This may indicate a blockage in a main drain or sewer line.
Blocked-drain assessmentA higher bill or a meter that moves when everything is off may indicate a concealed leak.
Burst and leaking pipesA supply fault, restriction, leak or ageing service line may be involved.
Water-service assessmentTemperature changes, discolouration, noise or leakage warrant a safety and condition check.
Hot-water helpThe cause may be roofing, flashing, guttering, downpipes or stormwater drainage.
Roof-leak inspectionA dry or faulty trap, drainage leak or venting problem may need investigation.
CCTV drain inspections
We aim to make the problem, options and next steps easy to understand.
Share the suburb, symptoms, when the issue began and photos if they are safe to take.
We check the affected fixture and connected system to identify the likely cause.
We explain the recommended scope and pricing before approved non-emergency work begins.
We complete the agreed work, test operation and explain what was found and done.
The most expensive option is not automatically the right one. We consider the fault, system condition, safety, risk of recurrence, access and the value of a repair compared with a longer-term solution.
Clearing can restore flow. CCTV may be worthwhile when a blockage recurs or pipe damage, roots or another obstruction is suspected.
A serviceable component may be repairable. Tank leakage, corrosion, repeated faults or poor household suitability may make replacement better value.
One isolated leak may suit a targeted repair. Recurring leaks, corrosion or widespread pressure trouble may justify renewing more of the line.

Victorian plumbing work must be performed by a practitioner who is registered or licensed for the relevant class of work. You can ask to see a practitioner's ID and check credentials using the regulator's public register.
A plumbing compliance certificate is generally required when the total value of regulated plumbing work, including labour and materials, is $750 or more. It is also required for some work regardless of value, including below-ground sanitary drains and certain gas appliance or consumer gas-piping work.

Regulatory information can change. This section was reviewed in July 2026 and links to the Victorian regulator for current guidance.
CCTV can help locate a recurring blockage and identify roots, displaced joints, cracks or other pipe defects. It is not automatically needed for every slow sink or simple local blockage.
Where Victorian requirements apply, the licensed plumber responsible for the work must lodge and provide the required compliance certificate. Ask the team about the certificate for your particular job.
If it is safe, send a clear photo of the affected fixture and surrounding area, visible water or damage, and the hot-water system data plate when relevant. Never enter a hazardous area to obtain a photo.
