When it can't wait until morning

When water is pouring through the ceiling, the last thing you need is a call centre. Ring Rush Hour Plumbing at any hour and you speak to Ben, the licensed plumber who'll actually turn up. He'll tell you what to do right now, give you an honest arrival time, and for emergencies get there within 1 hour if available.

Ben's handled hundreds of after-hours callouts. Burst pipes, blocked drains, gas leaks at 3am: he's seen it all, fixed it all, and left the site clean. After-hours, weekend and public holiday callouts carry a $150 attendance fee, the work itself is quoted by the job before it starts, and there's no separate call-out fee during standard hours.

What Ben handles at any hour

Ben isolating a burst pipe on an emergency callout

Burst pipe response

Water stopped first, then the damaged section cut out and replaced.

Emergency blocked drain clearing

Sewage backing up gets jet-blasted clear, then camera-checked.

Gas leak attendance

The leak found and isolated, the line repaired and tested before the gas goes back on.

Overflowing toilet repairs

Stopped, cleared and working again, with the bathroom left clean.

Hot water breakdowns

A dead or leaking unit made safe, then repaired or replaced with a quote first.

Flooding and water damage mitigation

The source isolated fast so a bad night doesn't become a rebuild.

Call first, read later

Water you can't stop. Sewage coming up through the floor wastes. A gas smell, or no water in the house at all. If that's what's happening, ring before you read on: the phone is answered 24/7. And if you're not sure it counts, ring anyway, because Ben will tell you honestly whether it's tonight's job or tomorrow's, and tomorrow's job skips the after-hours fee.

If any of these are happening, call now

  • Water flowing where it shouldn't and no way to stop it.
  • Sewage coming up through floor wastes or the toilet.
  • A gas smell anywhere in or around the house.
  • No water at all when there was this morning.
  • A hot water tank splitting or dumping its load.

After-hours costs, out in the open

$150 after-hours attendance fee

Applies to after-hours, weekend and public holiday callouts. The repair itself is still quoted by the job before work starts, and during standard hours there's no separate call-out fee, just the quoted price for the job.

What happens after you call

  1. Ben picks up.

    Any hour, the call goes to Ben, and the first job is making it safe from your end: the water meter, the gas meter, or the switchboard if water's near power.

  2. A straight answer on timing.

    You get an arrival time Ben can stand behind, and for emergencies, if available, he's there within 1 hour.

  3. Stopped first, then sorted.

    On site, the immediate problem gets isolated before anything else. The repair is then quoted by the job, agreed before work starts, and the place is left clean once it's done.

Done Once. Done Right. 24/7.

Emergency callout questions, answered

How Fast Can You Get Here?

For emergencies, if available, Ben attends within 1 hour. He'll give you an honest arrival time when you call, not a promise he can't keep, and he'll talk you through limiting the damage in the meantime.

What Does An After-Hours Callout Cost?

After-hours, weekend and public holiday callouts carry a $150 attendance fee. The work itself is quoted by the job before it starts, and there's no separate call-out fee during standard hours.

What Counts As A Plumbing Emergency?

Anything you can't stop and can't safely leave: a burst pipe, sewage backing up into the house, a gas smell, no water at all, or a hot water tank dumping water. If you're not sure, call anyway and Ben will tell you whether it can wait for a standard booking.

Who Actually Turns Up?

Ben. No call centres, no voicemail, no handing your job to a stranger: the licensed plumber who answers the phone is the one who quotes the job and does the work.
