FAQ: Emergency Plumber

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

What should you do when you discover a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the power box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to cut off all water to your residence.

Once that is done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is usually positioned on the boundary near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our emergency Kensington plumbers know how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Kensington plumbers will quickly identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

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 prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

We recommend trying to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can cause more damage to the drains.

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

Hot Water Tank Problems

You usually do not realise how frequently you count upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Time to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be remedied fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very rapidly.

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

If your cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is tired and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Large or little, buried in the garden or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but key part of your everyday life. They carry fresh water to your house, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Normally you do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Kensington residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

How did the pipe burst?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a very cold location, they might have frozen and cracked. They may just be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into underground junctions.

Once the same day plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?

Many our clientelle over the years have told us how vexing it is to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is echoing around the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.

It’s not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

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

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Kensington plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
