24/7 Emergency Services
A leak coming through the ceiling isn’t just an irritating drip; it’s a warning that something inside your home has gone wrong. Maybe you walked into a flooded bathroom with water coming through the ceiling, spotted damp spots near a ceiling light, or woke up to water coming through the bedroom ceiling. However it starts, you need it fixed—fast. Same Day Trades is on call 24/7 to stop the damage, dry things out, and keep your home safe.
Most ceiling leaks begin with one of the following problems:
Understanding the cause is useful, but stopping the flow is critical. That’s where our team shines.
If water is coming through the ceiling, especially near power, act immediately—your family’s safety is at risk, and the ceiling could collapse under the weight.
1. Cut the power to any damp area if you suspect water in the wiring, especially when you see water coming through the light in the ceiling.
2. Shut off the water at the nearest isolation valve or main, if possible.
3. Collect the water in a bucket and gently pierce any bulge in plaster to let trapped water drain in a controlled way.
4. Move furniture and valuables to a dry spot.
5. Call Same Day Trades—then breathe. Our licensed plumbers will be at your door with the right gear to end the leak and start the drying process.
These actions limit damage and cut repair costs.
When you ring us about water coming through the ceiling from the bathroom above or a mysterious puddle near a light fitting, here’s what happens:
1. Rapid dispatch. We send a local plumber—asap—to your Adelaide, Brisbane, or Perth home.
2. Precise detection. Using moisture meters and thermal cameras, we track the route of water coming through the ceiling light or hidden behind wall linings.
3. Targeted repair. We mend or replace broken pipes, reseal showers and baths, patch roof faults, and pressure-test everything before we leave.
4. Dry and restore. We set up professional drying equipment and, if you like, coordinate with your insurer so paperwork doesn’t become another headache.
5. Free safety check. Before we pack up, we inspect nearby fixtures to ensure a new leak coming through the ceiling from the bathroom won’t surprise you next month.
We back every repair with a lifetime workmanship warranty. If a fix fails because of our work, we return and make it right at no charge.
Leak coming through ceiling light after a shower
Warm water escapes a cracked shower elbow, sneaks along ceiling joists, and drips from the nearest light fitting. We reseal the elbow, dry the ceiling cavity, and send a licensed electrician to replace any compromised fittings.
Water coming through ceiling from bathroom
Overflowing baths or failed tile grout allow puddles to seep below the floor. We pull back the bath panel, reseal edges, grout tiles, and install new waterproofing membranes where needed.
Flooded bathroom coming through ceiling downstairs
A blocked floor drain turns a simple mop-up into a downstairs waterfall. We clear the obstruction, disinfect the wet area, and locate every hidden moisture pocket so mold can’t start.
Water coming through bedroom ceiling after a storm
A gust lifts a roof tile. Rain races inside. We locate and patch the hole, fit a storm tarp if weather threatens, and then arrange full roof repairs once skies clear.
A minor stain today can cost thousands tomorrow. Within one day, plaster swells and paint peels. After a week, timber framing can warp and mold takes hold. Two weeks without attention risks ceiling collapse and serious electrical hazards. Acting the moment water came through the ceiling keeps repair bills small and your home healthy.
Great service and job well done by Adam and Matt! A few hurdles with the bathroom but was easily fixed by the boys. Very happy with the final product. Thanks again! Highly recommend them
Linda HendrixQuick and easy service friendly and professional.
hermannAdam was very professional, he took out time to explain what was wrong with my toilet system and the available options to fix it. And also gave advice on preventive measures to ensure the issue does not reoccur. Highly recommenced.
Charity ObinwaPunctual, reliable and friendly. They went above and beyond to assist me with a power problem and then completed fantastic light Reno's. Highly recommend James, Flynn and Dylan. Thank you.
Marnie ApplebyPlease don’t. Pressure in the line may have dropped or the pipe cooled, hiding the real problem. Moisture can still be trapped above. Book an inspection so you’re not surprised later.
Yes. Our vans carry patch materials for most roof types. For major damage, we install a temporary fix, then organize a roofer for full repair.
Turn off the breaker that feeds that light circuit. Then call us. We’ll stop the water and coordinate with an electrician to inspect wiring before power is restored.
Rainwater usually sneaks in through cracked tiles, loose flashing, or blocked gutters. Once inside, it runs along rafters until you notice drops indoors. Cover accessible roof gaps with a tarp if you can do so safely, then call Same Day Trades for a permanent fix.
First, shut off nearby power and contain the drip. Next, let a licensed plumber trace the source with moisture meters or roof inspections. A lasting repair may involve resealing roof joints, replacing damaged pipes, or installing new waterproof membranes—quick DIY patches won’t last long.
Upstairs bathrooms hide pipes, drain lines, and waterproofing layers. A cracked shower elbow, worn silicone, or loose drain lets water seep straight down to the ceiling below. We replace the faulty part, reseal the area, pressure-test, and dry the cavity to stop further damage.
Place a bucket under the drip, pierce a small hole in any bulging plaster to relieve pressure, and shut off the main water valve if the leak is from plumbing. These steps buy time but don’t replace a professional repair—book a Same Day Trades plumber right away.
Yes. Wet plaster can collapse without warning, and water near wiring raises electrocution and fire risks. Mold can also begin growing within 48 hours. Treat every ceiling leak as an urgent hazard.
Start with a plumber who handles emergency leak detection. If the issue is strictly roofing, we’ll patch the area to stop the water and organize a qualified roofer for long-term repairs. That way you’re protected immediately and fully.
Call a licensed plumber with emergency capability—like Same Day Trades. We arrive fast, isolate the source, and coordinate any additional trades (roofers, electricians, plasterers) so you don’t juggle multiple numbers.
Common culprits include overflowing tubs, broken toilet seals, failed shower grout, or loose pipe joints. Each lets water travel through floor joists until it escapes below. Fixing it means correcting the fault upstairs and drying everything downstairs.
Cut electricity to the affected area, collect the drip in a container, relieve any bulging plaster safely, and shut off the water supply if you suspect a burst pipe. Then phone Same Day Trades so a professional can prevent further structural or electrical damage.
Address the root cause—whether it’s a cracked pipe, damaged roof tile, or worn bathroom seal. A licensed plumber will locate the exact failure, replace faulty parts, seal entry points, and test the system. Routine maintenance of gutters, roof flashings, and bathroom caulking also keeps future leaks at bay.

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...
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.
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.
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!
