Plumbing rarely goes wrong at a good time. Pipes burst at midnight. The hot water dies before school. The toilet overflows just as guests arrive. When you need an emergency plumber in Adelaide, you need someone who picks up the phone and turns up, not someone who takes a message and books you in for next Tuesday.
That’s us. At SOS Plumbing and Gas, we answer around the clock, including weekends and public holidays. Our 1-Hour Arrival Guarantee covers emergency call-outs across Adelaide, and our vans are fully stocked, so we fix most emergency plumbing jobs on the spot. No penalty rates for calling at 2am. Just fast, honest help from a local team.
Smell gas? Don’t use switches or flames. Turn off the gas at the meter if it’s safe, get everyone outside, then call us or the gas emergency line on 1800 427 532. If anyone is in danger, call 000.
Here’s a simple rule. If it’s causing damage now, or it could cause damage by morning, it’s an emergency. Most of the serious damage we see in Adelaide homes doesn’t come from the first failure. It comes from the hours or days people waited before calling.
Some emergencies are quiet. A toilet that never stops running, a damp patch on a wall, or a gurgle under the sink is easy to ignore, until the water bill doubles or the ceiling comes down. If something feels off, call us. A two-minute phone call costs nothing, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it can wait.
A few quick steps can save you thousands in damage. Only do what’s safe.

Don’t touch power points, switches or appliances that are wet. If you can reach the switchboard while standing somewhere dry, switch the power off. If you can’t, keep everyone away and tell us when you call.
Stop using every toilet, shower, sink and appliance that drains into the sewer, including the washing machine and dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from any sewage, and don’t try to clean it up without gloves.
Turn off the cold water isolation valve on the inlet pipe, then switch off the power or gas to the unit. Keep clear of the relief valve, as the water can be scalding. More help: hot water repairs in Adelaide.
Gas leaks need a different response. See Emergency gas plumber Adelaide below.
We’re a genuine 24 hour plumber, not a business-hours plumber with an after-hours voicemail. You can call us:
When you call, a real person answers and we get a plumber moving. No hold music and no call centre.
And our rates don’t change based on when you call. You pay the same rate at 3am on a Sunday as you do at 10am on a Tuesday. No after-hours surcharge, no weekend loading, and you get a price before we start any work.
Emergency plumbing in Adelaide covers far more than burst pipes. Our emergency plumbing services include the full range of home and light commercial jobs.
Cracked copper, split poly, failed joints and corroded old pipes. We find and fix burst pipes inside walls, under slabs and beneath lawns, using leak detection equipment so we only open up what we need to. Burst pipes Adelaide
The braided hoses under sinks, vanities and toilets usually last around 5 to 10 years. When one fails, it can release hundreds of litres before anyone notices. We replace them on the spot and can check the others in your home while we’re there.
Blocked kitchen and bathroom drains, overflowing floor wastes and sewage backing up into showers or toilets. Our emergency blocked drain plumbers carry high-pressure jetting equipment for tough blockages and CCTV cameras to find the cause in your sewer line. Blocked drains Adelaide
Overflowing or blocked toilets, failed cisterns and cracked pans. Where a toilet can’t be saved, we’ll talk you through replacement options. Toilet repairs Adelaide
No hot water is a real emergency for families, especially in winter. We repair gas, electric, solar, heat pump and continuous flow systems. If a replacement is needed, we’ll confirm which systems meet SA’s water heater rules and get hot water back on as fast as we can. Hot water repairs Adelaide
Blocked downpipes and stormwater drains that back up and flood yards, garages or homes during heavy rain. Stormwater cleaning Adelaide
Suspected gas leaks, failed gas appliances and damaged gas lines. See the next section for what to do.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a small, local emergency plumber based in Seaton, and when you call, you deal with us directly. We know Adelaide’s plumbing quirks: older homes, shifting clay soils, and patchy pipework left behind by past jobs.
Here’s what you get with our emergency plumbers in Adelaide:
We treat your home the way we’d want someone to treat ours. We explain what we find, we ask before we do anything significant, and we don’t leave until the job’s done right.
Gas is in a category of its own. A leak can cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning, so if you smell gas, hear hissing from a gas line or suspect a leak, act straight away.
Our licensed gas fitters handle emergency gas jobs alongside plumbing. We find and isolate the leak, repair it, test the system, and safely relight your appliances. We also handle failed gas hot water systems, faulty gas appliances, and gas lines damaged during building or renovation work.
On LPG bottles? Turn the cylinder valves off, then call us or your LPG supplier.
Don’t try to find or fix a gas leak yourself. Get clear of the property and let us handle it.
Not sure which it is? Call us. If it sounds like SA Water’s or the gas network’s problem, we’ll tell you over the phone so you don’t pay for a call-out you don’t need.
Renting? Tell your landlord or property manager straight away. We work with property managers across Adelaide.
The honest answer: it depends on the job. What we can tell you is exactly how we price it:
On a tight budget? Tell us. We’ll be straight with you about what’s urgent and what your options are. We don’t do panic pricing. Pensioners get a discount, and booking online saves 10% on labour.
Searching for emergency plumbing near you? We’re based in Seaton and cover all of metropolitan Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills. Our vans are out across the city every day, so there’s often an Adelaide emergency plumber close by already.
Not on the list? Call us. We cover more of Adelaide than we can fit here, and we’ll confirm straight away whether we can reach you.
Call straight away if water is escaping where it shouldn’t, you can smell gas, sewage is backing up, a toilet is overflowing, or a leak could cause damage overnight. When in doubt, call us. A two-minute phone call is better than a flooded home.
Any situation where water or gas is escaping, sewage is backing up, you have no hot water, or there’s an active risk of damage to your home. If it feels urgent to you, treat it as urgent, and we’ll help you work out what to do.
Our 1-Hour Arrival Guarantee covers emergency call-outs across Adelaide. We’re often there sooner, especially in the western and inner suburbs near our Seaton base.
Yes. Our team includes licensed gas fitters who handle gas leaks, faulty gas appliances, damaged gas lines and gas hot water failures around the clock. If you smell gas, get everyone outside first, then call.
Not with us. Some plumbing companies add after-hours surcharges, but we charge the same rates whatever the time. You get a price before any work starts, and it doesn’t change because you called at midnight.
No. Our rates are the same seven days a week, every day of the year.
It depends on the job. A blocked toilet or a burst flexi hose is usually quick. A burst pipe under a slab or a sewer blockage that needs a camera inspection takes more time and equipment. Call us and we can give you a rough idea over the phone, then a firm price on site before we start.
Leaks in the street, the footpath or at your water meter belong to SA Water. Call their 24/7 faults line on 1300 729 283. Gas leaks at the meter or in the street go to Australian Gas Networks on 1800 427 532.
Many home insurance policies cover sudden water damage, such as from a burst pipe, but usually not the plumbing repair itself. Check your policy, take photos before you clean up, and keep your invoice. We can write a report for your insurer on request.
Yes. Let us know when you call and we’ll apply it to your quote.
Stop searching and call. SOS Plumbing and Gas answers 24/7, guarantees arrival within the hour, and charges the same rates whatever the time. We cover all of Adelaide, from Salisbury to Morphett Vale and from Glenelg to the Hills.
