FAQs
What emergency plumbing services do you offer in Kelso?
Effective Responses Plumbing handles burst or leaking pipes, blocked drains and toilets, overflowing cisterns, faulty hot-water systems, gas leaks, leaking taps, sewer backups, and storm-damage repairs across Kelso and the surrounding suburbs. If water or gas is putting your property or safety at risk, it is classed as an emergency and we can help.
How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Kelso?
Because our technicians are on call locally, we aim to be at your Kelso address within 60 minutes of your call. Arrival times can vary slightly during severe weather or peak periods, but our dispatcher will give you a live ETA and keep you updated en route so you know exactly when to expect us.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every plumber on our emergency roster is fully Queensland-licensed, carries current public liability insurance, and undergoes regular police checks and safety training. Copies of licences and insurance certificates are available on request, giving you complete peace of mind.
Will you provide upfront pricing before starting work?
Absolutely. Once we assess the fault on site, we give you a transparent, fixed-price quote that includes labour, parts, and the emergency call-out fee. No work starts until you approve the price in writing, so there are no hidden costs or nasty surprises on the final invoice.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
If water is flooding, locate your main isolation valve—usually at the front boundary—and turn it clockwise to shut off supply. For hot-water leaks, switch off the water heater at the circuit breaker. For gas smells, turn the gas meter tap off, open windows, and stay outside. Avoid using electrical appliances in flooded areas and never attempt DIY repairs; just keep the area clear for when our plumber arrives.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services on weekends and public holidays?
Yes. Effective Responses Plumbing operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—including Christmas, Easter, and every public holiday—so you can reach us whenever an emergency strikes. Our call centre is never diverted overseas, ensuring you always speak with a local Kelso team member who can dispatch help immediately.
