What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the power box if needed first.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that’s done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to fix the leak.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items from the area, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
Our Russell Lea 24 hour plumbers realise that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing right away. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.
A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.
When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be working again quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Russell Lea urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the 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 old hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our helpful team can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but integral part of daily life. Large or little, subterranean, in the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
Normally, people do not even think about them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major problem that must be sorted urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
When you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers right away. We are waiting to assist Russell Lea residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the property.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and ruptured. In a newer residence, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When our 24 hour plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.
Do you have a problem tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?
Many customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is echoing around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a serious issue.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call our team now.
Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert emergency plumbers can quickly find the trouble and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Russell Lea with urgent plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or small.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If it is not annoying enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively knot some string around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
