What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all the water to your house.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable possessions from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can save your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want help as soon as possible. Our emergency Outer Harbor plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a clogged drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and badly require a hot shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have some dishes to finish off? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is lukewarm.
When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it sorted asap so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted promptly, the cost will become more expensive by the day.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Outer Harbor emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 your cylinder is not repairable, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that works for you as well.
Big or small, buried in the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but vital part of daily life. They carry fresh water to your home, and remove dirty water and sewage away.
Often, people do not even recall them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a serious issue that must be resolved urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
Our emergency plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our urgent plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a quick and expert manner.
Do you own a broken faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
We have been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant niggle, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we locate what you want.
As well as serving Outer Harbor with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or too small.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
