We Handle It All

Common Emergency Situations

These are the emergencies Auckland homeowners call us about most. If your situation is urgent, don't wait — call now.

💧

Burst Pipes

Water spraying from a pipe inside your home or under the house. Turn off your mains and call immediately — every minute counts.

🌊

Flooding

Water pooling on floors, running down walls, or flowing from fixtures. Kurt arrives fast to stop the source and minimise damage.

🚽

Blocked Drains & Sewage

Sewage backing up into your home, toilets overflowing, or drains completely blocked. A health hazard that needs immediate attention.

🔥

No Hot Water

Hot water cylinder failed, leaking, or making strange noises. Same-day repair or replacement in most cases.

🏠

Gas Smell Near Pipes

If you smell gas, evacuate immediately and call the gas emergency line (0800 764 764). Then call Kurt for the plumbing side.

🧊

Frozen or Cracked Pipes

Auckland rarely freezes, but exposed pipes in garages and sub-floors can crack in cold snaps. Kurt repairs and insulates to prevent recurrence.

FAQ

Emergency Plumbing Questions

How fast can an emergency plumber get to me in Auckland?

Kurt aims to arrive within 30-60 minutes for genuine plumbing emergencies across Auckland. North Shore suburbs typically see the fastest response — often under 30 minutes. Central, West, and South Auckland are usually within 45-60 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.

Do you charge more for after-hours emergency plumbing?

Emergency callouts outside standard business hours (after 6pm, weekends, and public holidays) may include a small after-hours surcharge. This is always disclosed upfront before any work begins — no surprise fees.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Turn off the water at the mains (your toby valve, usually at the front boundary of your property). If the emergency involves your hot water cylinder, switch it off at the power board. Place towels or buckets to contain any water. If flooding is severe, turn off electricity to affected areas at the switchboard.

Is a blocked drain considered a plumbing emergency?

If a blocked drain is causing sewage backup into your home, overflowing outside, or creating a health hazard — yes, it is an emergency. A slow drain that is still functioning can usually wait for a scheduled appointment.

Do I need to be home for an emergency plumbing callout?

Ideally yes, so Kurt can discuss the issue and get your approval before starting work. If you cannot be present, arrangements can be made by phone — Kurt will explain the problem, get your verbal approval, and photograph everything for your records.
