FAQ Emergency Plumber

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

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the electricity off at the power panel if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to save the day.

While you are waiting, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Hindmarsh after hours plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a serious health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we offer our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our urgent Hindmarsh plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We endorse trying to clear minor blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the clog, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and can even cause more damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be working again fast. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired asap, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Hindmarsh emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can schedule an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but very important part of your daily activities. Large or small, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Ususally we never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired immediately, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you right away, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for many reasons. They might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have frozen in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have grown into underground pipes. Or there may be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will diagnose the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other problems.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor niggle, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to remedy that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Hindmarsh emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
