What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the electricity off on the switchboard.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household 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 home as soon as we can to save the day.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You should also 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!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is found on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
Our Thorngate same day plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a serious health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we offer our emergency plumbing service.
A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home rapidly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
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 issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our urgent Thorngate emergency plumbers right away!
We generally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got some of dishes to deal with? It’s hard to have a good clean when the water is not hot.
When your hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. We will be there promptly to identify the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Did you know around thiry percent of the average home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water catastrophies hurt your pocket, get them resolved speedily.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Thorngate emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
From the little clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there is an issue.
As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your well-being.
Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be there right away, so contact our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean joints. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.
Once our urgent plumber arrives, they can isolate the issues and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you own a defective faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a major annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, get hold of our 24 hour plumber now.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find the style you want.
From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Thorngate plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
