Emergency plumbers in Craigieburn

16 Craigieburn plumbers that say they take emergency callouts, for a burst pipe, a hot water system that has failed, a blocked drain backing up into the house, or a gas smell.

Do this first

Before anyone arrives, and before you agree to a callout fee.

  1. 1Turn the water off at the mains — the tap is usually at the front boundary near the meter, and turns clockwise.
  2. 2If it is the hot water system, switch it off at the isolation valve or the power point as well as shutting the water.
  3. 3Move what you can off the floor and put down towels. Photograph the damage before you clean it up, because your insurer will ask.
  4. 4If you smell gas, do not touch any switches. Open the doors and windows, get everyone outside, and ring the gas emergency line on 132 771 before you ring a plumber.
  5. 5If water is anywhere near the switchboard or power points, turn the power off at the board and treat it as an electrical job too.

If anyone is in danger, ring 000. For a gas leak ring 132 771. For a fallen powerline, stay at least eight metres away and ring your electricity distributor — not a tradesperson.

16 of 22 plumbers listed in Craigieburn, Victoria state that they offer emergency or after-hours callouts. This is what each business publishes about itself and has not been independently verified — WhoToHire does not check response times or confirm that anyone is available at a given hour. The businesses are ordered by independent evidence: corroboration across sources, agreement between the listed phone number and the number on the business's own website, website reachability and review history. Nobody pays for a position. Before ringing, ask about the callout fee, the after-hours loading, and how long until someone is actually on site.

What “emergency” means on this page

These 16 businesses publish that they take emergency callouts. We have not verified that. Unlike the ABN, contact-accuracy and website checks — which we run ourselves and publish the results of either way — availability is a claim, and nobody has rung these numbers at 3am to test it. Expect to try more than one.

Ask these on the phone

Emergency work is where quote-on-arrival pricing causes the most disputes. Two minutes of questions before anyone is dispatched prevents nearly all of them.

  • What is the callout fee, and is it charged separately from the hourly rate?
  • Is there an after-hours or weekend loading, and what is it?
  • How long until someone is actually here — not dispatched, here?
  • Does the job involve gas, and are you gas-endorsed as well as plumbing-licensed?

Common questions

How many Craigieburn plumbers offer emergency callouts?
16 of the 22 plumbers listed in Craigieburn state that they take emergency or after-hours callouts. That is what the business publishes about itself — we have not independently verified availability, response times or that anyone will answer at 3am.
What should I do before plumber arrives?
Turn the water off at the mains — the tap is usually at the front boundary near the meter, and turns clockwise. If it is the hot water system, switch it off at the isolation valve or the power point as well as shutting the water. Move what you can off the floor and put down towels. Photograph the damage before you clean it up, because your insurer will ask.
What should I ask when I ring?
What is the callout fee, and is it charged separately from the hourly rate? Is there an after-hours or weekend loading, and what is it? How long until someone is actually here — not dispatched, here? Getting the callout fee and the after-hours loading agreed on the phone is the single most effective thing you can do to avoid a dispute afterwards.
Does anyone pay to appear on this list?
No. There is no paid placement, no sponsored listings and no advertising product anywhere on this site. The order is set by independent checks — corroboration across sources, contact accuracy, website reachability and review history.

Not actually an emergency?

If it can wait until business hours, it is worth waiting. Emergency callouts carry after-hours loadings, and the full Craigieburn list is 22 businesses rather than 16 — a much better field to choose from.
