FAQ: Urgent Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the power panel if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all water to your residence.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any important items from the area, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Solved

We know a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we come back.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We suggest attempting to clear minor obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't work, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and can cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have a pile of of dishes to deal with? It is a pain to have a good wash when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied fast so your life can get back to normal.

Did you know about 30% of your household power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water woes empty your wallet, get them repaired speedily.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Somerton Park urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll 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 fixable, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved asap to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more leaking.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a new home, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our on call plumber is present, they can locate the issues and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a broken tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

We have been called to an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor aggravation, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to resolve your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Somerton Park plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the sound. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
