What do I do when a plumbing disaster occurrs?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the breaker box.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to your home.
Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, start wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove important items from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The water main shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help straight away. Our emergency Thorngate plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We suggest attempting to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our on call Thorngate emergency plumbers now!

When the hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. We will be there swiftly to identify the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.
Did you know around 30% of the average household electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water problems damage your pocket, get them fixed speedily.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Thorngate emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly.

If the cylinder is not fixable, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, we can organise upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your residence are a generally hidden but very important part of daily life. Big or little, underground, within the walls or the roof, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your possessions and even your well-being.
As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist Thorngate residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the property.
How did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a newer house, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When our 24 hour plumber is present, they can locate the problems and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you own a irksome faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?
We’ve seen all sorts of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.
It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to stop your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.
As well as providing Thorngate with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or minor.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a piece of twine of some kind, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and dribble off quietly.
