I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important items, mop up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is positioned on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your residence from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you need help fast. Our emergency Taperoo plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode speedily to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your pipes.
Don’t let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
You regularly don’t think about how heavily you rely on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Want to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.
When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. We will be there promptly to diagnose the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very swiftly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Taperoo emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there is a problem.
Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired without delay to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your health.
As soon as a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further leaking.
Why did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When they are at your home, our on call plumber will diagnose the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if required to look for other damage.
Do you own a problem faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?
We have seen an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.
As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills rise further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber right away.
Whether you want a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers can rapidly find the problem and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.
From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or minor for our Taperoo plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and flow off quietly.
