What do I do when a plumbing disaster occurrs?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location 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 help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to save the day.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and clear away important 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!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally positioned on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We know a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes cleared.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode rapidly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.
Do not let a blocked pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have some dishes to finish up? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it repaired quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Matraville emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our professional team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Large or small, buried under the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but significant part of daily life. They bring fresh water to your abode, and remove used water and sewage away.
Normally, people never even think about them until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it’s usually a significant problem that must be resolved urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. The pipes may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in extremely frigid weather and split. Tree roots may have forced open underground seals. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.
When the after hours plumber arrives, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a major problem.
It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the faucet you want, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we find what you want.
From big to small, our Matraville emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
