FAQ Urgent Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all water to the property.

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

In the meantime, begin wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We recommend attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not work, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.

Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
