- Water from the street, the footpath or the meter: that's usually South East Water's to fix, not a private plumber's. Call its faults line on 132 812 (source).

Before you say yes to an emergency call-out
- Ask for the call-out fee and what it covers: after-hours rates, travel and the first half hour are often charged separately from the repair.
- Check the licence: most plumbing work in Victoria must be done by a registered or licensed plumber. Look them up on the Building and Plumbing Commission's register. How to check a licence.
- Get the certificate: plumbing work worth more than $750 including GST, and some gas and drain work at any price, needs a compliance certificate within five days of finishing (Building and Plumbing Commission).
- Agree the scope: a make-safe visit tonight and the full repair later are often two jobs. Ask which you're getting.

We link to that page, and to its published licence or registration where there is one. Nobody here has paid to be listed, and listing isn't an endorsement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct it and add a phone number; claimed listings appear first. Checked 31 October 2026. Clayton is in the City of Monash.
