After Hours Plumbers FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the switchboard.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help fast. Our after hours Woolloomooloo plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unclogged.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our emergency Woolloomooloo plumbers will quickly locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Problems

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it hot again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your 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 can account for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious 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 Woolloomooloo after hours plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there is a problem.

Ususally we do not 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 it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and well-being.

Our after hours plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so ring our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots could have grown into underground joints. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.

Once our urgent plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major vexation. Something that can go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert 24 hour plumbers will efficiently find the issue and fix it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From after hours plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Woolloomooloo plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.

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

If it is not annoying enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot some string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
