Plumbing emergencies we handle
Burst or leaking pipe
Water going everywhere? Turn off the mains and call — we'll stop the leak and repair the pipe fast.
No hot water
A cold shower before work is no fun. We prioritise no-hot-water calls across Adelaide.
Blocked or overflowing drain
Sewage backing up or a toilet overflowing is a health hazard — we clear it quickly and hygienically.
Gas leak or gas smell
Smell gas? Turn it off, ventilate, don't use switches — then call us and the gas emergency line immediately.
Hot water system leaking
A leaking tank can flood a laundry or garage. We isolate it and advise on same-day repair or replacement.
Storm & roof plumbing leaks
Overflowing gutters and downpipes during Adelaide storms — we get water flowing away from your home.
Think you have a gas leak?
Avoid naked flames and anything that could cause a spark, don't turn electrical switches or lights on or off, and move everyone to fresh air. If anyone is in immediate danger, call 000 first. Then call the gas network's emergency line, and contact Dowell once the area is safe.
