Emergency Plumber FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the power box.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove valuable things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is generally on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

The pipes in your residence are a generally hidden but important part of your everyday activities. Large or little, in the garden, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Often, you barely even think about them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s usually a serious issue that must be sorted urgently before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you reside in a extremely cold region, they might have frozen and split. They might just be old and worn out. They may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into subterranean junctions.

When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will locate the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if advised to look for other damage.

Taps Not Working?
