I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, try to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main shutoff valve is positioned on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
We know a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.
Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Athelstone plumbers will quickly locate the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We suggest attempting to clear minor obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and may cause more damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to deal with? It is hard to have a good clean when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it repaired as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know about thiry percent of your household power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water woes harm your pocket, get them fixed quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Athelstone emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but integral part of everyday activities. Big and little, under the ground, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Often, people barely even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major problem that needs to be sorted out immediately before your house, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so ring our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. They might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in extremely cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have invaded underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.
Our same day plumbers can identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks quickly and efficiently.
Do you have a troublesome faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?
We’ve been called to an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, call our urgent plumber now.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our Athelstone emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and general plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
