Emergency Plumbing Services We Offer
Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, you need a fast, reliable solution. At Ausco Plumbing & Gas, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Perth, ensuring your home or business stays safe and functional. We handle all urgent plumbing issues, including:
Burst Pipes and
Water Leaks
A burst pipe can put litres of water into your walls, ceiling or slab in minutes. We isolate the supply, stop the damage spreading, and repair or replace the failed section the same visit wherever possible.
Blocked Drains and
Toilet Overflows
A blocked drain that backs up into your shower or a toilet that won't stop overflowing is a health hazard as well as a mess. We clear it fast using CCTV drain inspection to find the actual blockage rather than guessing, then high-pressure water jetting to clear it properly.
Gas Leaks Detection and
Emergency Repair
Gas is the one plumbing emergency where minutes matter. If you can smell gas, turn off the supply at the meter if it's safe to do so, don't use switches or naked flames, and call us immediately. Our licensed gas fitters locate and make safe any gas leak, then repair it to Australian standards with a compliance certificate on completion.
Hot Water
System Failure
No hot water is rarely urgent in the way a gas leak is, but it's still miserable, especially in winter or with a house full of family. We carry parts for the major brands (Rheem, Rinnai, Thermann, Dux) and can often get hot water restored same day, whether that's a repair or, if the unit's beyond saving, a replacement.
Sewer Backups and
Overflowing Toilets
A sewer backup is one of the least pleasant emergencies a homeowner can face, and one of the most urgent. We isolate the problem, clear the blockage, and clean the affected area as part of the job.
How to Tell the Difference.
Not every urgent call is a gas call. If you can smell gas (a distinct sulphur or rotten-egg odour), hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance or meter, or a gas appliance’s flame looks unusually yellow or orange instead of blue, treat it as a gas emergency: turn off the supply if safe, don’t use anything electrical, and call us straight away. If the issue is water (flooding, no hot water, a blocked drain, an overflowing toilet), it’s a plumbing emergency, still urgent, but without the same immediate safety risk. When in doubt, call us and describe what you’re seeing or smelling. We’ll tell you over the phone which kind of emergency you’re dealing with and how fast we need to be there.

Why Speed Matters: Don’t Wait to Fix a Plumbing Emergency
A small leak left overnight becomes a swollen skirting board, a bubbled ceiling, or mould you’ll be dealing with for months after the water itself is gone. A gas smell ignored is not a problem that gets better with time. Every hour an emergency sits unaddressed, the cost of fixing it, in water damage, in repair scope, in stress, tends to go up, not down.
Beyond the physical damage, there’s the plain fact of not knowing. Is it safe to stay in the house? Is this going to cost thousands? Should you shut off the water to the whole property, or just the one fixture? Waiting on hold, or waiting for a plumber who said they’d call back, adds a kind of anxiety that has nothing to do with the actual plumbing.
You didn’t choose for this to happen at 11pm on a Friday, and you shouldn’t have to manage it alone until Monday. That’s the entire reason we run a real 24/7 service rather than an answering machine that says “we’ll call you back during business hours.”
-
Structural Damage
A burst pipe or severe leak can quickly cause water damage to walls, floors and foundations, leading to costly repairs. -
Higher Repair Costs
What starts as a minor leak can escalate into major plumbing failures, requiring expensive fixes. -
Health Risks
Sewer backups, gas leaks and stagnant water can create serious health hazards, including mould growth and toxic gas exposure.
At Ausco Plumbing & Gas, we understand the urgency of plumbing emergencies. Our 24/7 emergency plumbers in Perth are always ready to respond quickly, minimising the disruption to your property.
Why Choose Ausco Plumbing & Gas?
When it comes to plumbing and gas services in Perth, you deserve a team that’s reliable, experienced, and genuinely cares about your needs. Here’s why Ausco Plumbing & Gas stands out:
and Gas Fitters
Every job is completed by our own accredited team (Master Plumbers WA, licensed gas fitters, PL 9675, GF 017795), so the person who answers the phone is accountable for the person who turns up.
Before Any Work Starts
We quote the job on-site, in writing, before we pick up a tool. If something changes once we’re into the job, we tell you before we do it, not after.
Not a Call Centre
Ausco is family-run out of Cannington. When you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community, not a national booking line reading from a script.
Perth homeowners have left us over 400 five-star Google reviews, and the themes are consistent: quick, reasonable, prompt, explained everything clearly.
Plumbing and gas fitting under the one accreditation means a gas hot water system fault, for instance, doesn’t need two different tradespeople and two call-out fees.
and High-Pressure Jetting
For blocked drains, we can see what’s actually blocking the pipe before we clear it, rather than clearing blind and hoping the same blockage doesn’t return in a fortnight.
Trusted Suppliers & Brands
Our Commitment to Quality
Every emergency job meets the same standard as our scheduled work: licensed tradespeople, Australian standards compliance, and a clean site when we leave. An emergency call-out isn’t an excuse for rushed or lower-quality work, it’s the same job, just faster.
Customer Testimonials
View review on GoogleMy hot water pressure was very low. Turned out I needed to replace my hot water system which was 16 years old…Josh installed a brand new one, took away the old & my hot water pressure is PERFECT! Josh was extremely efficient, professional & polite! An absolute credit to your team at Ausco 🎉🎉🎉
View review on GoogleI had a major water leak and contacted Ausco. After explaining the issue over the phone, they quoted me a price and locked in a time to repair. Not only were they on time to repair but they also charged me less than quoted as the repair took less time than expected. Highly recommend this business.
View review on GoogleI contacted Ausco Plumbing to install a new mixer and showerhead after having some renovation work completed in my bathroom. There was also an unexpected issue with the drain, which they were able to resolve at the last minute without any hassle. Their communication was excellent, the service was professional, and the quality of the work was outstanding. I highly recommend Ausco Plumbing and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
View review on GoogleCommunication is the key
We were looking for service providers and got feedback from Mark and another plumber during night. Continuing by some clear information exchanges and I decided to use Ausco.
Michael came in the very early morning with AUSCO full powerfull workshop. High pressure jetter machine and CCTV were used during work, no call out fee.
The double rainbow was very nice this morning, so was the service and its resonable cost.

Will definitely back to your team if I have I have another issues.
Thanks again for your excellent service.
View review on GoogleMark came to our rescue after we had a pipe burst in the first week of the year, leaving us without water. I found him through a google maps search and he was able to fit us in the next day. He was super professional, explained every step and the price was reasonable considering it was an emergency job. Even the insurance people told us he had done an excellent work. Thanks Mark
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What Qualifies As A Plumbing Emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any issue putting your home, health or safety at risk right now. That includes burst pipes causing active water damage, a gas leak or gas smell, a blocked drain causing overflow or flooding, no hot water, and sewer backups. If you’re not sure whether your issue counts, call us. We’d rather talk you through it than have you wait on something that needed same-day attention.
How Quickly Can You Arrive For An Emergency Call-Out?
We run a genuine 24/7 emergency service across Perth metro. Call us on 0409 299 736 and we’ll give you an honest estimate of arrival time for your specific location before you commit to anything.
Do You Charge Extra For After-Hours Emergency Plumbing?
What we can tell you now is that whatever the rate, you’ll know it before we start. We quote the job, including any after-hours component, in writing on-site, so there’s no surprise figure on the invoice afterwards.
How do I know if it's a gas emergency or a plumbing emergency?
A gas emergency involves the smell of gas, a hissing sound near an appliance or meter, or a yellow or orange flame instead of blue, and it means turning off the supply if it’s safe and calling us immediately. A plumbing emergency (flooding, blocked drains, no hot water, sewer backups) is still urgent but doesn’t carry the same immediate safety risk. If you’re unsure, call us and describe what you’re seeing or smelling. We’ll tell you straight away which one you’re dealing with.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber to arrive?
For a burst pipe or major leak, shut off the water at the mains if you know where the tap is, and move anything valuable away from the water. For a suspected gas leak, turn off the gas supply at the meter only if it’s safe to reach, don’t touch any electrical switches, don’t light anything, and leave doors and windows open if you can do so on your way out. For a blocked drain or toilet overflow, stop using the affected fixture so it doesn’t get worse, and keep pets and kids away from the area. In every case, call us. We can talk you through immediate safety steps over the phone while we’re on our way.
Do you provide upfront pricing before starting emergency work?
Yes, always. We assess the job on arrival and give you a clear price before any work begins, emergency call-out or not. If the scope changes once we’re into it, for instance if a burst pipe reveals a second issue, we stop and tell you before continuing, not after.
