24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services
Plumbing nightmares don’t wait for business hours. Whether it’s a burst pipe flooding your kitchen at 2 AM, a blocked toilet right before guests arrive, or a sudden lack of hot water on a chilly Hunter Valley morning, you need fast action.
At On Time Plumbing, we provide rapid, reliable 24 hour emergency plumbing to homes and businesses across Newcastle, Maitland, and the wider Hunter Region. Our fully equipped vans and fully licenced local plumbers are on standby right now.
Our 24 Hour Emergency Plumbing Services
No job is too big, too small, or too messy for our team. We offer comprehensive same day plumbing services to get your home back to normal fast.
Burst & Leaking Pipes
A burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars in water damage in minutes. We provide rapid response to isolate the water supply, locate the leak, and repair or replace the damaged pipe instantly.
Emergency Drain Service
Blocked drains, overflowing toilets, and backed-up sewer lines are unhygienic and stressful. Our emergency drain service uses advanced CCTV drain cameras and high pressure jet rodders to clear severe blockages any time of the day or night.
Emergency Hot Water Service
Waking up to a freezing cold shower is the worst way to start your day. If your hot water system has burst, is leaking, or has simply stopped working, our team specialises in emergency hot water repair and replacement. We service all major gas, electric, and solar brands.
Gas Leaks & Gas Fitting Emergencies
Smell gas? Don’t wait. Gas leaks are incredibly dangerous. Turn off your gas at the mains and call our 24/7 emergency gas plumber immediately. We have the specialised equipment to detect and repair dangerous leaks safely.
