What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the switchboard. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating valve to stop all the water to the home.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and position a bucket 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 valve is!
You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Humbug Scrub emergency plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That’s why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains unclogged.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home speedily to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish off? It is hard to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not hot enough, you need it to be repaired as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your property. 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 major damage to your wallet very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Humbug Scrub urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but integral part of everyday activities. Large or little, underground, within the wall or the roof or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Usually, you barely even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a serious problem that must be sorted urgently before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce yet more flooding.
How did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and split. In a newer residence, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our 24 hour plumbers can identify and repair your burst pipes or leaks quickly and precisely.
Do you own a troublesome tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?
We have been called to all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.
It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to fix that leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.
From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Humbug Scrub plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
