When something goes wrong after hours, you need fast help you can trust. Wilkinson Plumbing & Gas Fitters provides emergency call-outs 24/7 across the Fleurieu Peninsula and Southern Adelaide.

Emergency call-outs 24/7. We aim to attend within 60 minutes for emergencies (where possible).

What counts as an emergency?

  • Water flooding your property
  • A burst pipe or active leak causing damage
  • Sewage backing up or toilets overflowing
  • A suspected gas leak
  • No water supply
  • No hot water (especially in colder weather or for vulnerable households)


If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll help assess the situation.

Blocked drain emergency

Blocked drains can escalate quickly, especially when toilets overflow, drains back up, or sewage is involved. We provide emergency assistance for severe blockages and will work to restore flow and reduce the risk of further mess or damage.


While you wait:

  • Avoid using the affected drains
  • Keep people and pets away from any sewage-contaminated areas
  • If safe, turn off water to the affected fixture (or main) to prevent overflow
  • Call us for guidance if the situation worsens

Burst Pipes & Major Leaks

Burst pipes can cause major damage in minutes. If it’s safe, turn off the water at the main to stop the leak, then call us immediately. We’ll isolate the issue, repair the pipework and check the system before restoring water.


While you wait:

  • Turn off water at the main (if safe)
  • Keep water away from power points and appliances
  • Use towels/buckets to reduce spread and protect floors
  • If water is near electricity and you’re unsure, stay clear and call us

No hot water

No hot water can be urgent, especially for families, businesses, or during cold weather. We can troubleshoot common hot water faults and advise whether a repair is possible or if replacement is the better option.


Quick checks:

  • Check whether power/gas is on (if you’re comfortable)
  • Look for any obvious switches that have tripped
  • If you suspect a leak or smell gas, treat it as urgent and call us
  • If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll guide you

Gas leak

If you smell gas, treat it as urgent. Call us for immediate help. If it’s safe to do so, ventilate the area and avoid flames or operating electrical switches. A licensed gas fitter should always assess and repair suspected leaks.


Safety steps:

  • Ventilate the area if safe (open doors/windows)
  • Avoid naked flames (don’t light matches, lighters, BBQs)
  • Don’t operate electrical switches near the smell of gas
  • Leave the area if the smell is strong and call for urgent assistance

We have used Phil several times over the past couple of years to replace aged toilet cisterns, install new taps and water filters. Recently we had need to replace our old water heater and Phil did it in quick time, with little notice. At all times Phil has been professional, efficient and responsive to our needs. If you are looking for a plumber that does high quality work, with minimal fuss give Phil a call.
