What To Do Before The Plumber Arrives

Taking a few simple steps before the plumber arrives can help minimise damage and make the repair process easier.

Burst pipe or major leak

Turn off the water at the main stopcock, usually located near the front boundary or water meter. If possible, open a tap to help release pressure from the system.

Blocked sewer or overflow

Stop using all drains, toilets, and appliances that discharge water. Keep children and pets clear of any pooling wastewater.

Gas leak

Turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so. Open windows and doors for ventilation. Do not use electrical switches, flames, or anything that could create a spark. Move outside and call the plumber from a safe distance.

No hot water (gas system)

If the unit is leaking, has stopped working or appears unsafe, turn it off if possible and call for an emergency assessment.

Servicing Pottsville And The Tweed Shire — Day And Night

AR Plumbing Service is based in Pottsville and covers the Tweed Shire from Brunswick Heads through to Tweed Heads, including inland areas such as Murwillumbah, Burringbar, and Stokers Siding. Coastal properties across Kingscliff, Cabarita Beach, and Hastings Point are within the regular service area.

The Tweed region includes a mix of older fibro and brick homes with ageing copper and galvanised steel plumbing, alongside newer builds with PVC and PEX systems. Both are prone to failure without warning — corroded joints on older systems and fitting faults on newer ones. A local emergency plumber who understands the area's property types and water supply infrastructure can diagnose faster and carry the right parts for common repairs.

Whatever time of day, the response process is the same — call, describe the issue, and get a licensed plumber on the way.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a callout fee for after-hours emergency plumbing?

No. AR Plumbing Service does not charge a callout fee for emergency work, including after-hours, weekends and public holidays. The quote is provided on site before any work starts.

How quickly can an emergency plumber get to my property?

Response times depend on the current workload and the details of the plumbing issue. Call 0431 875 044 to discuss the issue and get an estimated timeframe for arrival.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Any plumbing fault that risks water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential services. Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer overflows, and complete hot water system failures all qualify. If the issue can safely wait until the next business day, it may be more cost-effective to book a standard appointment.

Should I turn off the water before the plumber arrives?

For burst pipes or major leaks, yes. Turn off the main stopcock near the water meter and open a low-point tap to release pressure. If you cannot locate the shut-off, the plumber can talk you through it over the phone.

Does AR Plumbing Service handle gas emergencies?

Yes. The team handles gas leak detection, gas fitting repairs and urgent gas plumbing issues. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the supply at the meter, ventilate the area, move outside, and call from a safe location.
