What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the power box if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that is done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to get things sorted.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your house from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom 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 waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block 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, 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.
In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers come back.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
We endorse trying to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Petersham emergency plumbing team right away!
You generally don’t think about how much you depend on effortless fast hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Time to take care of some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it working again as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Petersham emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.
Large and small, hidden subterranean or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your house are a unseen but significant part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your home, and remove unclean water and sewage out.
Most of the time you don’t even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired asap, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.
As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to answer night or day. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more leaking.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and burst. In a new house, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When they arrive, our same day plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if required to check for other damage.
Do you own a problematic faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, disturbing your sleep.
It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks may drive 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 small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you require, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we locate the style you desire.
From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Petersham plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also offer a wide range of additional plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not bad enough to need repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a length of string around the faucet spout long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
