Emergency Plumbers: FAQ

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

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, attempt to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove significant things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The water main shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your house from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Eastlakes urgent plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing immediately. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our same day Eastlakes plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until we return.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our after hours Eastlakes emergency plumbing team now!

Hot Water System Leaks

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a proper clean when the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. We will be there swiftly to figure out the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

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

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Eastlakes emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the little clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s a problem.

Normally you barely even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to answer night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further damage.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and burst. In a new house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will identify the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other problems.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a troublesome faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, call us now.

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

As well as serving Eastlakes with emergency plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or small.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and trickle off quietly.
