24 Hour Plumbers - FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your residence from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unclogged.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Direk plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We endorse trying to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely work well, and can cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Have some of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it to be sorted quickly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as fast as possible, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Direk 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your residence are a largely hidden but significant part of your daily life. Large or small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally, we do not even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major issue that needs to be sorted urgently before your home, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers right away. Our team are waiting to help Direk residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the home.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and ruptured. In a new house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers will identify and fix your broken pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.

Tapware Issues Resolved

Do you own a defective tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

We’ve been called to a range of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to stop your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Direk with 24 hour plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or minor.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
