On Call Plumber - FAQ

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

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? 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 switchboard. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and clear away important things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The primary isolating valve will be on the edge of your property near the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Darlinghurst same day plumbers realise that a obstructed drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we offer our on call plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our same day Darlinghurst plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

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

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can cause more damage to 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.

Hot Water System Problems

We tend to do not realise how frequently we count on easy fast hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished in the garage and really need a wash? Need to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s tepid.

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

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. 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, call our Darlinghurst on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing 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 cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your home are a normally concealed but indispensible part of your everyday life. Large or small, subterranean, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Normally, people do not even think about their existence unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a significant issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your home, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you live in a cold region, the pipes might have frozen and split. They might simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots can force open underground connections.

When the after hours plumber is present, they can locate the issues and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a problem faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Many customers over the years have told us how vexing it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is echoing around your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.

As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even more, or maybe even cause damage to your home, get hold of our emergency plumber right away.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you need, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we locate the style you desire.

From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Darlinghurst plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, the team also provide a broad range of other plumbing services.

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

If it is not bad enough to warrant fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively tie some string around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
