What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe hits?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to the residence.
Once that’s done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.
While waiting, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can protect your home from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want help asap. Our after hours Darlington plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, 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 comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.
I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to deal with? It’s difficult to have a good clean when the water is not hot.
When your hot water has let you down, give our team a call. We’ll be there swiftly to diagnose the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Darlington after hours plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, we can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.
Normally you barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved asap, to minimise damage to your house, possessions and well-being.
Our after hours plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so ring our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you live in a very cold climate, the pipes may have iced up and ruptured. They might simply be aged and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground junctions.
Our same day plumbers will diagnose and fix your burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.
Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to have a dripping or busted tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is echoing around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a serious problem.
Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.
Whether you require an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers can efficiently identify the issue and resolve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

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