Emergency Plumber Grafton
24/7 emergency response across Grafton and the Clarence Valley.
When something goes wrong with your plumbing or gas, every minute matters. Steins Plumbing & Gas runs a true 24/7 emergency plumbing service across Grafton, Yamba and the entire Clarence Valley. Whether it's a midnight burst pipe, a leaking hot water system or an overflowing toilet on a public holiday, our team is on standby with fully stocked vehicles and the experience to make a permanent repair on the first visit.
When to call an emergency plumber in Grafton
Burst pipes, no water, no hot water, sewer backups, gas leaks, blocked toilets, leaking ceilings and storm-related water damage are all genuine plumbing emergencies. Acting fast limits the damage to your floors, walls and belongings and can save thousands in repairs. If you're not sure whether your problem qualifies as an emergency, call us — we'll triage the situation honestly over the phone.
What to expect when you call
You'll always speak with a real local — never an interstate call centre. We confirm your location, estimate an arrival time, and where possible talk you through immediate steps to limit damage (like isolating your water main or turning off your gas). Our nearest technician is dispatched immediately with the parts and tools to make a complete repair, not a temporary patch.
Common Grafton plumbing emergencies we handle
Old copper pipes give out in winter cold snaps; storm water overwhelms aging gutters and drains; tree roots break through sewer lines in established Grafton suburbs. We've seen it all, and we've fixed it all — from heritage homes in South Grafton to brand-new builds in Junction Hill.
Honest pricing — even after hours
Emergencies are stressful enough without a shock invoice. We quote our after-hours call-out fees up front, give a transparent fixed price for the repair before we start, and only charge for the work we do.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
If water is escaping and you can't stop it, if sewage is backing up inside the house, if you can smell gas, or if you've lost hot water in the middle of winter — that's an emergency and it should not wait until Monday. Water damage compounds by the hour, and in older Grafton homes with timber floors and subfloor cavities, a slow overnight leak can cost more to repair than the plumbing fault itself.
The most common after-hours calls we attend in Grafton are burst flexible hoses under vanities and kitchen sinks, split copper in ceiling spaces, sewer chokes caused by tree roots in the older clay lines through the CBD and South Grafton, failed hot water units, and toilet cisterns that won't stop running.
What to do before we arrive
Turn off the water at the main meter tap — for most Grafton properties this sits at the front boundary near the street. If the leak is isolated to a single fixture, the mini-stop tap under the sink or behind the toilet will do the job. If you can smell gas, don't touch light switches: turn off the gas at the meter, open the windows and get everyone outside before calling.
For a hot water unit that's leaking, close the cold water isolation valve on the inlet pipe and switch the unit off at the circuit breaker or gas isolation valve. Then call us and we'll talk you through the rest while a van is on the way.
Honest after-hours pricing
We quote before we start, including after hours. You'll be told the callout figure and the likely repair cost up front — no meter running, no surprise invoice in the morning. Every emergency repair is backed by the same workmanship guarantee as our scheduled work.
