FAQ Emergency Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

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

Once that is sorted, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve will normally be on the border of your property near the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We know a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether there is a item 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 everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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 that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got some dishes to finish up? It is rarely handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be fixed speedily. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as soon as possible, the cost can become more expensive by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Burwood Heights emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find 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 your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Often, we do not even think about them until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a significant problem that must be sorted immediately before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you right away, so call our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers can identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and efficiently.

Tap Issues Sorted

Do you own a broken tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Many customers over the years have told us how annoying it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is resounding around the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a major problem.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible 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 might need in the vans to fix that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Burwood Heights plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we can also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can often replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very reasonable price.
