Our Emergency Plumbing Services

At Cullen and Sons Plumbing, we provide a comprehensive range of emergency plumbing services to handle any urgent issue. Our licensed plumbers use the latest tools and techniques to provide fast, effective solutions and prevent further damage to your property.

Burst Pipe Repairs

A burst pipe can cause flooding and water damage to your home in a matter of minutes. Our emergency plumbers will arrive quickly, shut off the water supply, and repair or replace the damaged pipe. We’ll also inspect the rest of your plumbing system to ensure no other pipes are at risk of bursting.

Blocked Drain Clearing

Blocked drains can cause serious disruptions, from overflowing sinks to backed-up toilets. We use advanced equipment, including drain snakes and hydro-jetting, to clear blockages quickly and restore proper water flow. Whether it’s a kitchen sink, shower drain, or sewer line, we’ll fix the problem fast.

Gas Leak Detection and Repair

Gas leaks are a serious emergency that can put your safety at risk. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, contact us immediately. Our licensed gas fitters will locate the leak, shut off the gas supply, and carry out safe and efficient repairs to prevent any further danger.

Hot Water System Repairs

A malfunctioning or leaking hot water system can leave you without hot water and cause water damage to your property. We offer emergency repairs to fix your hot water system and restore your supply of hot water. If necessary, we can also install a new hot water system.

Toilet and Sewer Repairs

An overflowing or backed-up toilet is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention. Our team will quickly resolve the blockage and repair any issues with the toilet or sewer line to stop the overflow and prevent further damage.

Signs You Need Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies often happen suddenly, but there are warning signs that can indicate a problem before it escalates. If you notice any of the following issues, contact Cullen and Sons Plumbing immediately for emergency assistance:

  • Sudden Water Leaks: If you notice water pooling or leaking from pipes, taps, or appliances, it’s essential to act quickly before the problem worsens.
  • No Hot Water: A sudden loss of hot water could indicate a problem with your hot water system, especially if accompanied by leaks or strange noises.
  • Sewage Smells: Foul odours coming from your drains or toilet can indicate a sewer backup or blockage that needs immediate attention.
  • Gas Smells: If you detect the smell of gas, it’s a serious emergency. Turn off your gas supply and call us immediately for safe gas leak detection and repair.
  • Overflowing Toilets or Sinks: Water that’s overflowing or backing up from your toilets, sinks, or drains is a sign of a serious blockage that requires emergency plumbing.

Preventing Plumbing Emergencies

While some plumbing emergencies are unavoidable, regular maintenance and proper care can help reduce the risk. Here are some tips to help prevent plumbing emergencies in your home or business:

  1. Schedule Regular Inspections: Regular plumbing inspections can catch issues early, such as worn-out pipes or blocked drains, before they turn into emergencies.
  2. Watch for Leaks: Keep an eye out for any small leaks in your pipes or fixtures and have them repaired as soon as possible to prevent larger problems.
  3. Maintain Your Hot Water System: Ensure your hot water system is regularly serviced to prevent breakdowns or leaks.
  4. Avoid Flushing Non-Flushable Items: Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Items like wet wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels can cause blockages and lead to toilet overflows.
  5. Monitor Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can cause pipes to burst. Ensure your water pressure is set to a safe level to avoid stressing your plumbing system.
