24/7 Emergency Services

Water can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. If a pipe bursts or a drain backs up, it doesn’t take long before floors get soaked, furniture is ruined, and walls are at risk. That’s where we come in.

At Same Day Trades, we provide emergency plumbing services across Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth. If you’re dealing with unexpected flooding inside your home, our licensed plumbers are available around the clock to stop the water and fix the problem.

What Is House Flooding?

House flooding from plumbing means water is coming from inside your home’s own water or drainage system—not from rain or a natural disaster.

A surprising amount of home water damage starts this way. Pipes burst, toilets overflow, or a hot water system starts leaking. Because these systems are hidden in walls or under floors, leaks often go unnoticed until there’s a big mess.


Plumbing Issues That Commonly Cause Flooding

1. Burst Pipes

When a pipe gives out, water pressure pushes large amounts of water through the break. This is one of the fastest ways a home can flood. Causes include:

  • Aging or corroded pipes
  • High water pressure
  • Poor installation
  • Underground pipe movement

Even a small rupture can flood an entire room in minutes.

2. Blocked Drains

If a drain is blocked, water has nowhere to go. It builds up and can spill out of sinks, bathtubs, or toilets. In severe cases, it can even come back up through floor drains.

3. Faulty Appliances

Washing machines, dishwashers, and fridges with water dispensers are all connected to your plumbing system. If a hose cracks or a valve fails, water will leak out—slowly or all at once.

4. Overflowing Toilets

This one’s unpleasant but common. A clogged toilet or broken float valve can cause water to overflow and spread across floors. If it’s sewage water, cleanup becomes even more urgent.

5. Hot Water System Leaks

Older or neglected water heaters can develop slow leaks or sudden breaks in the tank. Because many hot water units are located inside homes or garages, these leaks can cause damage quickly.


Signs You Might Be Facing a Plumbing Flood

You don’t have to wait for water to start pooling before you call a plumber. Look for these signs:

  • Damp patches on walls or ceilings
  • Bubbling paint or warped floorboards
  • Musty smells or mold starting to appear
  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Unexpected increase in your water bill

Any one of these can point to a leak or slow flood starting behind the scenes.


What to Do if Your Home Starts Flooding

It’s stressful, but there are a few steps that can help control the situation until a plumber arrives:

  1. Turn off your main water supply. This stops more water from entering the system.
  2. Switch off electricity to the affected area if it’s safe to do so
  3. Call a licensed plumber. At Same Day Trades, our emergency team is always available.
  4. Try to contain the water. Use towels, buckets, or mops to limit the spread.
  5. Avoid do-it-yourself plumbing fixes. These often make things worse.

Mary

Living alone meant when my toilet and drain was not working I was completely stressed and had no idea what to do. From the initial phone call, to the first visit and quote for the job I was reassured and helped by each person...

Derek

Luke at Same Day Trades did a great job and was very professional and courteous as are all other tradespeople that I have dealt with from your company on the times that I have used your services.

Vijen

We had a kitchen drain that was blocking up from grease. The plumber cleaned it out with Hydro jet drain cleaning machine. Drain is now back to original condition. Very happy with the works done.

Nikki B.

Preformed a great service and was very clear on pricing and what needed to be done before starting. Also went above and beyond to make sure there was no other problems elsewhere that needed attending too. Highly recommend!
