Overview
Emergency Plumbing
When a plumbing emergency hits, you need help fast and done properly. The plumber we send arrives equipped to make the situation safe, stop the damage and get your water, drains, gas or hot water working again, with clear pricing agreed before any work begins.
Common plumbing emergencies we handle
Burst and leaking pipes
A burst pipe can cause extensive water damage to your home or business within minutes. We respond quickly to:
- Locate and repair broken pipes
- Minimise water damage to your property
- Put a lasting fix in place to prevent it happening again
While you wait, turn off the water at the main and use towels or buckets to catch water. Our plumbers arrive with equipment to detect hidden leaks and repair damaged pipes with minimal disruption.
Blocked drains, toilets and sewer backups
Blocked drains quickly escalate from inconvenient to hazardous. Victory Plumbing Hobart provides emergency drain clearing for:
- Overflowing toilets
- Blocked shower, bath and kitchen drains
- Sewer and sewage backups that pose a health risk
- Main sewer line obstructions caused by tree roots
We use CCTV drain cameras to find the blockage and high-pressure water jetting to clear even stubborn clogs without damaging your pipes. Keep clear of any sewage until it is dealt with.
Hot water failures
Losing hot water is a genuine emergency, especially during Hobart's colder months. We handle all hot water systems:
- Electric hot water repairs
- Gas hot water servicing
- Solar hot water troubleshooting
- Fast repair, or replacement when a unit is beyond repair
We work to restore your hot water quickly and talk you through the best longer-term option.
Gas leaks and emergency gas plumbing
A suspected gas leak needs immediate professional attention. If you smell gas, open windows and doors, turn off the gas at the meter only if it is safe to do so, avoid switches or anything that could spark, leave the premises, and call us. A qualified gas fitter locates and repairs leaks in gas pipes, appliance connections and gas heating so your household or business is safe.
Roof and stormwater emergencies
Heavy Hobart rainfall can expose roof plumbing faults that lead to internal leaks and flooding. Our emergency work includes stopping active roof leaks, clearing blocked gutters and downpipes, and repairing flashing to keep water out.
What to do while you wait for the plumber
- 1
Turn off the water
Find your main water shutoff valve and turn it clockwise to stop the flow.
- 2
Contain the damage
Place buckets under leaks and towels around overflowing fixtures.
- 3
Switch off power near water
Turn off power at the switchboard to water heaters or pumps if water is near electrical outlets. Do not touch wiring.
- 4
Keep clear of sewage
Avoid contact with any sewage backup and keep children and pets away.
- 5
Document the damage
Take photos for your insurance.
- 6
Clear access
Make sure our plumbers have a clear path to the affected area.
Emergency plumbing for Hobart businesses
A burst pipe or blocked drain can stop a business trading. We provide urgent commercial plumbing and work efficiently to get you back open, for premises such as:
-
Retail shops
-
Restaurants and cafes
-
Office buildings
-
Hotels and accommodation providers
-
Industrial facilities
Stopping it happening again
Once the immediate problem is fixed, we can help you avoid the next one. Regular plumbing maintenance catches worn valves, slow leaks and building blockages before they turn into another after-hours call-out.
