Emergency Plumber: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?

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

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We understand a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unblocked.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your home speedily to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

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 will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can damage the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water System Issues

You usually don’t think about how frequently we depend on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really need a shower? Time to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s barely warm.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it to be remedied asap. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can rapidly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed fast, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.

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

If your old hot water cylinder is not repairable, our friendly team can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

Large or small, buried subterranean or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a concealed but indispensible part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your home, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Often, people don’t even remember them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s a major issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further damage.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Our on call plumbers will identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a broken tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. Something that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, destroying your deams.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to fix that leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Payneham with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or small.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
