Safe first steps
What to Do While Waiting for a Plumber
Keep the first actions simple. Do not attempt repairs that could increase the damage or create an electrical risk.
Turn off the relevant water supply
If you can identify and safely reach the correct isolation valve, turn it off to reduce further water loss.
Protect the immediate area
Move furniture, electronics and valuables away from the water. Use towels or containers only where it is safe to do so.
Send clear information
Provide your suburb, the visible problem and whether water is still escaping. Photos or a short video can help after submission.
