Emergency Plumber: 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 make sure 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 switchboard.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to stop all the water to your residence.

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

While waiting, remove any important possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a clogged drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour Glenorie plumbers will quickly locate the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your drains.

Do not let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Problems

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a proper wash when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has let you down, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Glenorie emergency plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a largely concealed but important part of daily activities. Large and small, in the garden, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Usually, people do not even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major problem that must be sorted immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to assist Glenorie residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a new house, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our urgent plumber is present, they can identify the problems and repair them in a speedy and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply busted?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. A little thing that may go unheard in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, destroying your deams.

It isn’t just frustrating drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers will speedily locate the problem and fix it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Glenorie plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
