When a pipe bursts at 2am or your home is flooding, you need a licensed plumber who answers the phone and arrives fast. Revolution Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing across Canberra with a target response time of under 30 minutes.
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. Neither do we. Here is what we deal with most often on emergency call-outs across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, and every other Canberra suburb.
Burst pipes are one of the most common emergencies we attend in Canberra, particularly during winter when temperatures regularly drop below zero. A burst pipe can release hundreds of litres of water per hour into your home, causing damage to floors, walls, and electrical systems. We locate the burst, isolate the supply, and complete the repair on the spot.
If you smell gas or suspect a leak, leave the property immediately and call us. Gas leaks are dangerous and require a licensed gas fitter to diagnose and repair. We carry gas detection equipment on every van and can issue compliance certificates once the repair is complete. Never attempt to fix a gas leak yourself.
Blocked drains, failed pumps, or burst supply lines can cause serious flooding in minutes. We arrive with the equipment to stop the water, clear the blockage, and get your drainage system working again. Fast action prevents structural damage, mould growth, and costly insurance claims.
A completely blocked toilet or main sewer line is not just inconvenient. It is a health hazard. We use electric eels and high-pressure jetters to clear even the most stubborn blockages. If tree roots or collapsed pipes are the cause, we will identify the problem with a CCTV drain inspection and recommend the right fix.
We keep it simple. No call centres, no waiting on hold, no guessing when someone will arrive.
Phone 0468 014 195 any time, day or night. You will speak directly to a licensed plumber who can assess the situation over the phone and advise you on what to do while we are on the way. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays.
We aim to be on site within 30 minutes across Canberra. Our vans are fully stocked with parts and equipment for the most common emergencies, so we can usually fix the problem in one visit without needing to return for materials.
Before we start any work, you get an upfront price. No hidden fees, no surprises. We complete the repair, test the system, and clean up before we leave. All workmanship is guaranteed. If it is a bigger job that needs follow-up work, we will explain the options and book you in at a time that suits.
Canberra's climate creates unique plumbing risks. Winter temperatures regularly fall below minus five degrees, causing pipes to freeze and burst, particularly in older homes across suburbs like Woden and Weston Creek that were built in the 1970s and 80s with copper and galvanised steel pipework.
In summer, storm events can overwhelm ageing stormwater systems and cause flash flooding through properties. A delayed response in either scenario means more water damage, higher repair costs, and greater disruption to your household.
That is why we keep our vans stocked and our phones on. When you have water pouring through your ceiling at midnight, the last thing you need is a plumber who calls you back in the morning.
Still not sure? Just give us a call, we are happy to talk it through.
