Quick Answers

FAQ

How fast can you actually get here?
We attend within the hour across metro Melbourne. When you call, we'll confirm exactly where the closest plumber is and give you a real arrival time — not a four-hour window.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. A real person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including nights, weekends and public holidays. Plumbing emergencies don't keep business hours, so neither do we.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Lightning Response Plumbing is fully licensed in Victoria and fully insured. Drainage, gas, hot water and mains water connections all legally require a licensed plumber — we're licensed for all of them.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Burst or leaking pipes, no water at all, sewage backing up, an overflowing toilet, a gas smell, or no hot water in winter. If water is going somewhere it shouldn't, treat it as an emergency and call us.
What will it cost?
You get a clear price before we start any work. No hidden charges, no surprise overtime rates, and nothing goes ahead until you've said yes.
Which Melbourne suburbs do you cover?
All of them. Northern, southern, eastern and western suburbs plus the CBD and inner Melbourne — from Werribee to Ringwood, Craigieburn to Frankston.
What should I do while I wait for you?
For a burst pipe or major leak, shut the water off at your main stop tap (usually near the front boundary or water meter). If you smell gas, turn the gas off at the meter, open windows, don't touch light switches and get everyone outside. Call us and we'll talk you through it.
Don't wait — water damage gets worse by the minute
