What our customer has to say
When something goes wrong at home, the response matters as much as the repair
A burst pipe, a drain backing up, or a gas smell you cannot place will change your whole day. What you need first is someone who can tell you how serious it actually is.
We assess the fault onsite, make the situation safe, and talk you through the repair options before anything proceeds.
Most plumbing emergencies give warning signs before they fail completely
A pipe that has burst, a hot water system that has stopped, or a drain overflowing into the yard rarely fails without warning. Pressure changes, damp patches, slow drainage and rising water bills usually come first, and they are easy to miss until something gives way.
Once a fault has escalated, the priority shifts to containing the damage. We isolate the problem, protect the surrounding area, and identify what caused it so the same thing does not happen again a month later.
When we attend an emergency at your home, you can expect:
- The fault made safe before anything else happens
- A clear explanation of what failed and why
- A straightforward quote, where possible, before repairs begin
- Care taken to limit damage to your home while we work
If something has gone wrong right now, call 0400 838 622 and we will talk you through what to do next.

We make the situation safe first, then repair it properly
Emergency plumbing across Perth’s northern suburbs usually comes down to four things: burst or leaking pipes, blocked and overflowing drains, hot water failures, and gas faults that need a licensed gas fitter.
Each one is handled the same way. Stop the immediate damage, work out what actually caused it, then explain what the repair involves before we start.
Homeowners choose Sureflow Plumbing because the process stays clear even when the situation is not:
- Your booking and arrival window is confirmed
- The issue is accessed onsite and we explain what is found
- A clear quote, where possible, is provided before starting the repair
- We complete the work neatly and test everything before we leave
An emergency left waiting usually costs more than the repair itself
Water moves fast, and gas faults do not wait. The difference between a same-day repair and one left over a long weekend is often the difference between a fitting and a floor.
Left unattended, an urgent plumbing fault can lead to:
- Water damage to flooring, cabinetry and wall linings
- Sustained water loss and a sharp jump in your next bill
- A blockage spreading to other fixtures across the house
- A gas fault becoming a genuine safety risk for the household
We repair the issue at its source and check whether anything else nearby is worth monitoring while we are there. Where relevant, we also carry out a complimentary whole-house plumbing inspection so you have a clearer picture of your plumbing overall.

Frequently asked questions we get asked as an emergency plumbing Perth team
Clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most, so you can understand what to expect, how issues are handled, and when to take the next step with confidence.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Anything that threatens your safety, your water supply, or the condition of your home. Burst or badly leaking pipes, a drain overflowing inside the house, a suspected gas leak, and a hot water system that has failed completely are the most common.
If you are unsure how serious it is, call 0400 838 622 and we will help you work out whether it needs attention now or can be booked in.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe at home?
Turn the water off at the meter first. The main tap is usually at the front boundary of the property, and turning it clockwise will stop the flow to the house.
Once the water is off, move anything valuable away from the affected area and call us. Shutting off the supply early is the single biggest thing you can do to limit damage.
What should I do if I can smell gas?
Treat it as urgent. Open windows and doors, avoid using light switches, appliances or anything that could create a spark, and do not use your phone inside the house.
If it is safe to reach, turn the gas meter lever to the horizontal position, then leave the property and call us from outside. Our licensed gas fitters can inspect the system and appliances.
How quickly can you attend an emergency in Perth?
We aim to attend emergency callouts within the day wherever possible across Perth’s northern suburbs. Urgent jobs are prioritised ahead of scheduled work.
When you call, we will give you a realistic arrival window rather than an optimistic one, and send an ETA update when we are on the way.
What are your opening hours for emergency plumbing?
We operate seven days a week: Monday to Friday 6:00am to 7:00pm, Saturday 6:00am to 6:00pm, and Sunday 7:00am to 2:00pm.
If something happens outside those hours, call 0400 838 622 and leave a message. We pick up first thing and prioritise urgent jobs from overnight.
Will I know the cost before you start the repair?
Yes. We assess the fault onsite, explain what has happened, and provide a quote before any repair work begins wherever possible.
If the full extent of a fault cannot be seen until we open something up, we will tell you that upfront rather than quoting a number we cannot stand behind.
My drain is overflowing. What should I do first?
Stop using every fixture in the house, including taps, the washing machine and the dishwasher. Anything that adds water to the system will make the overflow worse.
Then call us. We locate the blockage with camera and locating equipment, clear it, and identify what caused it so it does not simply return.
My hot water has stopped completely. Is that an emergency?
It depends on the cause. A complete hot water failure is usually an urgent repair rather than a safety emergency, unless there is water leaking from the unit or a gas smell nearby.
If you can see water pooling under the system or smell gas, treat it as urgent and call straight away. Otherwise we can usually book you in the same day.
Which Perth suburbs do you cover for emergency plumbing?
We cover Perth’s northern suburbs, from Two Rocks in the north down to Scarborough, and inland as far as Landsdale.
That includes the City of Joondalup, the City of Wanneroo, and selected suburbs across the City of Stirling. If you are not sure whether you are in the area, call and ask.
Can you find the cause of a leak without pulling apart walls?
In most cases, yes. We use locating and camera equipment to narrow down where the fault sits before anything is opened up.
That means access is targeted rather than exploratory, and there is far less to make good afterwards.
Do you repair the fault on the same visit?
Wherever possible, yes. Our vehicles carry the parts and equipment needed for the majority of common emergency repairs.
Where a specific part is required, we make the situation safe, explain what is needed, and arrange the return visit at a time that suits you.
Do you provide a complimentary quote before emergency work begins?
Yes. We assess the issue onsite and provide a quote before work begins wherever possible, so you understand what you are approving.
Our quotes are final wherever they can be, and we do not upsell work your home does not need.
Are your plumbers licensed for both plumbing and gas?
Yes. Sureflow holds both a plumbers licence (PL9896) and a gas licence (GF18902), so plumbing and gas faults can be handled by the same team.
That matters in an emergency, because you are not waiting on a second trade to attend before the problem can be resolved.
When does a fault need repair rather than monitoring?
If a fault affects safety, water supply, or the condition of the building, it needs repair rather than monitoring.
Slow wear that is not causing damage can often be planned rather than rushed. We will tell you honestly which category your issue falls into.
Can you check the rest of the house while you are here?
Yes. While we are onsite we carry out a complimentary whole-house plumbing check, so you know whether anything else is developing.
It is a straightforward way to catch the next problem before it becomes another emergency callout.
What happens if the repair needs a part you do not carry?
We make the situation safe and stable first, so your home is protected while the part is sourced.
You will be told what is needed, what it will cost, and when we can return, before we leave the property.
Do you handle emergencies for strata and rental properties?
Yes. We attend urgent plumbing and gas faults at rental and strata properties across Perth’s northern suburbs.
Call 0400 838 622 and we will let you know what we can do and how approvals are best handled for your situation.
The standards behind every Sureflow visit
Plumbing is easier to deal with when you know exactly what’s happening.
Each visit is structured around practical assessment, straightforward advice, and work that suits the condition of the system in front of us. These standards help keep repairs predictable, decisions informed, and homes protected as issues are resolved.
Clear explanations before work begins
Understanding what has changed within the plumbing system makes decisions easier to make. The issue is explained first, along with the available options. This removes uncertainty before any repair is carried out.
Practical advice on what needs priority
Some faults require immediate attention, while others can be planned over time. Advice is provided in a way that helps repairs happen in the right order. That structure reduces pressure when unexpected problems appear. We focus on getting it fixed properly, not just quickly.
Recommendations based on what’s actually there
Every property is different, and repairs should reflect what is actually present on-site. Solutions are shaped by the condition of existing pipework and fixtures. This helps avoid unnecessary replacement work.
Care taken while working inside the home
Plumbing repairs take place in lived-in spaces, not empty work zones. Attention to surrounding areas helps keep disruption to a minimum. The condition of the home remains part of the job.
Early notice of future potential issues
Some plumbing issues develop gradually rather than all at once. Where relevant, potential future concerns are identified during the visit. This allows maintenance decisions to happen earlier and with more clarity.
Support when timing and urgency matters
Unexpected plumbing problems can escalate quickly without early assessment. Prompt guidance helps stabilise the situation before further damage develops. This keeps urgent issues more manageable across Perth northern homes.
