Emergency Plumbing – Not Just a Job, It’s a Response
You don’t call a plumber at night because it’s convenient. You call because something’s gone wrong, and you need someone who’ll pick up, listen, and move, not someone who’ll tell you they “might be able to fit you in tomorrow.”
We’ve built Lime Plumbing around one simple idea: be available, be fair, and do the job right
What Happens When You Call Us?
It’s pretty simple. You ring. We answer no call centres, no on-hold music.
We’ll ask you what’s going on, ask a couple of questions to make sure we bring the right gear, and then we’re on the way. You don’t need to explain things in technical terms. Just tell us what you see, water pooling, no hot water, odd noises in the walls, whatever it is, we’ll take care of it.
Once we’re there, we’ll do a proper check. Not just patch the obvious. We look for the real cause, so you won’t have to call again in two days with the same issue.
And before we do anything, you’ll know the cost. No vague quotes or “we’ll see how we go.” If something changes once we’re into it, you’ll hear it from us first.

Lime plumbing did a sensational job at my place previous plumber had placed the sewer for the granny flat with 120mm backfall, they sent out Joey to replace 20 metres of it, he came in took pride in his work and got the job done extremely quickly with plenty of fall considering the tenant living inside. Absolutely! would recommend Lime plumbing for future works.🙏Posted on Google![]()

The Kind of Emergencies We See in St Ives
Every area has its quirks. In St Ives, many of the calls we receive are from older homes with copper pipes that are wearing thin, clay drains that crack and shift, old water heaters on their last legs. But newer homes aren’t immune either. We’ve dealt with poor installs, dodgy fittings from builders who cut corners, and even brand-new systems that were never properly pressure-tested.
Here’s a look at the stuff we fix most often around the area.
- Hot water system blowouts can occur due to tanks that rupture, thermostats that fail, or a sudden loss of pressure. Cold showers aren’t fun, especially in winter.
- Burst flexi hoses are common in bathrooms and under sinks. They rust, split, and flood floors faster than you’d think.
- Tree roots often cause blocked sewer lines. They break in through small cracks and slowly clog up the whole line. One day it’s draining slowly the next, it’s not draining at all.
- Leaking underground pipes tricky to spot until your water bill triples or the garden stays soaked no matter the weather.
- Kitchen floods can occur due to dishwashers, fridges, or even poorly sealed sinks. A slow leak under a cabinet can result in thousands of dollars in damage if left unaddressed.
If you’re dealing with any of this, we’ve already sorted it for someone else in the area.
We’re Not In-and-Out Cowboys
Some plumbers show up, tighten a fitting, tell you it’s fixed, and leave only for the leak to come back once they’ve cashed the invoice. That’s not how we work.
At Lime Plumbing, we go the extra few steps. If we think the issue is part of a bigger problem, we’ll say so and explain it. We won’t just stop the leak if the pipe’s corroded and is going to burst again. We’ll tell you what needs to be done to make sure it stays fixed.
That’s why most of our calls don’t come from ads, they come from word of mouth. People pass our name on because they know we don’t mess around.
Not All Emergencies Look Like Disasters
Here’s something most people don’t realise plumbing problems don’t always start with a flood.
Sometimes, it’s a sound dripping, gurgling, whistling. Sometimes, it’s the slow drain in your shower that’s suddenly taking twice as long. Other times, it’s just that gut feeling that something isn’t right.
That’s when it’s best to call early. We’ve saved thousands of people by catching problems before they exploded. If you think something’s off, don’t wait. Get it checked.
A small leak can quickly escalate into a big one. A slow drain becomes a full blockage. A faulty gas fitting? That’s not something you want to ignore for even a day.
Property Managers and Landlords – We’ve Got You Covered
We work with plenty of agents and landlords across St Ives and the surrounding suburbs. We know how important it is to have trades that show up, report back, and don’t make a mess.
If a tenant calls with an emergency, we get there, sort the issue, and send through a report with no fuss, no chasing, no confusion.
We’re happy to work directly with tenants or through your team whatever makes the process smoother for you.
