On Call Plumbers: FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as possible to save the day.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and position a container to catch drips. You should also 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 know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of on call plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unclogged.

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

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage the pipes.

Don’t let a clogged drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

We usually don’t think about how heavily you depend on effortless quick hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really need a wash? Time to finish up some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.

When the hot water has let you down, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there promptly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Leichhardt on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and worn out, we can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large and small, buried in the earth or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but integral part of daily life. They bring fresh water to your home, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Usually, people never even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a significant problem that must be resolved urgently before your house, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

Our on call plumbers are prepared to be there right away, so contact us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. The pipes may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and burst. Tree roots could have grown into underground joints. Or there could be a problem with how they were installed in the first place.

When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if needed to check for other damage.

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a problem tap? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

We have been called to a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential niggle, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks may push up the 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 small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

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

As well as providing Leichhardt with on call plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or little.

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

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant fixing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot some string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
