Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the power off at the power panel if needed first.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to get things sorted.
While you wait, begin wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The water main shutoff valve is found on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your house from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We understand a clogged drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can damage your pipes.
Do not let a blocked pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a refreshing shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Have some dishes to deal with? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied quickly so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know around 30% of your home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your home and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies hurt your pocket, get them fixed as soon as possible.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Northgate emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.
Normally, we do not even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a major problem that needs to be fixed urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers right away. We are waiting to help Northgate residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the home.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and split. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other damage.
Do you own a annoying faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?
Many customers over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is resounding throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious problem.
It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you just want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you require, we can install an interim faucet until we locate what you need.
From large to small, our Northgate emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
We’ve been assisting the residents of Northgate for many years now. Our customers know us as speedy, professional plumbers who do the job right first time, at an economical price. We’re the friendly faces you want to see when there is a plumbing catastrophe.
