Start with what you can see
For a time-sensitive plumbing problem, use plain language and explain what has changed, where it is happening and what access the provider may need.
Urgency, safety, coverage and response time must be confirmed by the provider. If there is a serious risk to people, electricity or property, contact the appropriate emergency service directly.
Useful details to include
Keep the first request short and factual. These prompts can help organise the handover:
- The immediate problem and location
- Whether water is still running or spreading
- Your suburb and the best way to reach you
