Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the power off at the power panel if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to save the day.
While you are waiting, clear away any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The water main shutoff valve is positioned on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your residence from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Humbug Scrub 24 hour plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing asap. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.
Clogged drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
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.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We suggest attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can even cause more damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a few dishes to finish up? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.
When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it working again promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired quickly so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know around 30% of your home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water disasters harm your wallet, get them resolved asap.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Humbug Scrub urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can schedule to do that in a opportune manner as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but important part of your daily life. Large or small, in the earth, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your well-being.
Our urgent plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
How did my pipe fail?
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a cold region, the pipes may have iced up and burst. They might just be old and dilapidated. They may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into underground connections.
Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other damage.
Do you own a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
We’ve seen a range of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant aggravation, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.
Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers can rapidly diagnose the cause and remedy 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 large to small, our Humbug Scrub urgent plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
We have been servicing the Humbug Scrub locale for many years, and our reputation for excellent quality work at an economical price sees our past customers coming back to us whenever they have a plumbing issue. Our aim is to help you with all your plumbing needs, no matter what, where or when.

When you call our emergency line, you’ll talk directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We might even be able to help you deal with your problem over the phone. If not, we’ll be there rapidly in our fully stocked van to get you sorted as fast as possible.
