Your First Response to a Home Plumbing Emergency
A sudden plumbing emergency can be alarming. Knowing what to do in the first few minutes can save you from thousands of dollars in water damage.
- Shut Off the Main Water Valve: Your absolute first priority is to stop the flow of water. Locate your home’s main water shut-off valve, which is usually found at the front of your property near the water meter or where the main pipe enters your home. Turn it clockwise until it is fully closed.
- Turn Off Your Hot Water System: If the emergency involves a hot water leak, turn off your hot water heater to prevent it from overheating and becoming damaged. For an electric system, switch it off at the circuit breaker. For a gas system, turn the dial on the unit to the “OFF” position.
- Call Your Local Experts: Once the immediate threat is contained, call Mid West Leak Experts at 0422 125 707. Our rapid-response team is ready to provide the emergency assistance you need.

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance
The smartest way to deal with a plumbing emergency is to prevent it from ever happening. We offer comprehensive plumbing inspections and routine maintenance programs to identify and address potential issues before they escalate. A maintenance visit can include checking water pressure, inspecting pipes for corrosion, testing valves, clearing minor drain build-up, and assessing the health of your hot water system. This proactive approach is the best way for homeowners in the Central West to save money and avoid the stress of unexpected failures.
Our Speciality: Advanced Leak Detection for Your Home
While we are a full-service residential plumbing company, our roots and advanced specialisation are in water leak detection. This gives every homeowner we work with a unique advantage. A hidden leak in a wall, under a concrete slab, or in your garden can go unnoticed for months, silently wasting thousands of litres of water and causing catastrophic damage to your home’s foundation and structure. Our plumbers use non-invasive acoustic sensors and tracer gas technology to pinpoint these hidden leaks with surgical accuracy, protecting your biggest asset from the unknown. This expertise is not just for emergencies; it’s a vital part of our diagnostic process for any plumbing issue.

Residential Plumbing FAQs
Got a question about a potential leak, a repair, or our services? Find the quick answers you need right here.
How can I help prevent blocked drains in my kitchen and bathroom?
In the kitchen, avoid washing grease, oil, and coffee grounds down the sink. In the bathroom, use a drain cover to catch hair before it goes down the shower drain. Once a month, you can flush your drains with hot water to help dissolve soap scum and light grease build-up.
What are the warning signs that my hot water system might be failing?
Common signs include discoloured or rusty-looking water, a significant drop in the amount of hot water available, popping or rumbling noises from the tank, or visible leaks and water pooling around the base of the unit. If you notice any of these, it’s time to call for a professional inspection.
Is a small dripping tap really a big deal?
Yes. A single dripping tap can waste thousands of litres of water over a year, leading to a noticeable increase in your water bill. It also indicates that a washer or valve is worn out, and ignoring it can lead to more significant corrosion and damage to the fixture over time. It’s a quick, inexpensive fix that saves money in the long run.
Can you service residential properties in rural areas outside the main towns?
Absolutely. We proudly serve homeowners across the Central West, including rural and farm properties outside the main town centres. If you’re unsure whether you fall within our service area, please don’t hesitate to call us.
What does a routine plumbing inspection from your team involve?
Our comprehensive inspection covers all key areas of your plumbing. We check for hidden leaks, test your home’s water pressure, inspect the hot water system, check tap and toilet function, visually inspect exposed pipes for corrosion, and assess your drain performance. It’s a complete health check for your home’s plumbing.
