24/7 Emergency
021 108 6789Need an after hours plumber right now? We answer the phone and turn up at any hour, anywhere in Auckland. Burst pipes, blocked drains, no hot water, gas leaks.
A licensed plumber on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Plumbing problems do not keep office hours. Pipes burst at 2am, hot water cylinders fail on Sunday morning, and drains block right before guests arrive on a public holiday. Call A Plumber runs a genuine 24 hour plumbing service across Auckland, which means a licensed plumber answers your call, gives you an honest ETA, and turns up with a fully stocked van at any hour of the day or night.
We are based in South Auckland, so if you need a 24 hour plumber in Manukau, Manurewa, Papakura, Takanini or Papatoetoe you will usually see us fastest of all. From there our after hours team covers the whole region, from the CBD and the eastern suburbs out to West Auckland and the North Shore. Wherever you are, the process is the same: call, get upfront pricing, and have the problem fixed before it grows into an insurance claim.
Not every problem needs a midnight callout, and we will tell you when it does not. If your issue can safely wait until morning, we will say so and book you in at standard rates instead. That honesty is a big part of why Aucklanders have left us more than 170 five-star reviews. For a true emergency right now, you can also see our emergency plumber Auckland page, or browse our emergency callout service for more detail on what we handle.

Common questions about our after hours and 24 hour plumbing service
A: Yes. Our line is answered by a real person around the clock, every day of the year. When you call 021 108 6789 at midnight or on Christmas Day, you speak to someone who can dispatch a licensed plumber, give you an ETA, and talk you through making the situation safe while you wait.
A: After hours callouts carry a higher call-out fee than daytime visits, which covers getting a licensed plumber to your door outside normal working hours. We always tell you the call-out fee and confirm pricing before any work starts, so you can decide whether the job needs fixing tonight or can safely wait until morning rates apply.
A: Response time depends on where you are and how busy the night is, but we prioritise genuine emergencies like burst pipes, sewage overflows and gas smells. We are based in South Auckland, so suburbs like Manukau, Manurewa, Papakura and Takanini usually see the fastest response, and we cover the wider Auckland region 24/7.
A: Call immediately for water you cannot stop, sewage backing up, no water at all, a leaking hot water cylinder, or any gas smell. A dripping tap, a slow drain or a toilet that still flushes can usually wait until morning, and we will tell you honestly on the phone if that is the cheaper, sensible option.
A: Turn off your main water valve, usually near the water meter at the front boundary, to stop flooding. If the hot water cylinder is leaking, switch off its power at the fuse box and close its cold water supply valve. If you smell gas, turn off the gas at the meter, open windows, avoid switches and flames, and wait outside.
A: Yes. We attend after hours emergencies for restaurants, retail, offices, schools and industrial sites across Auckland. A burst pipe or failed hot water system can shut a business down, so we work overnight to have you trading again by opening time wherever possible.
