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

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the electricity off at the power panel if needed first.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While waiting, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and cracked. In a new house, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our 24 hour plumbers will identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and professionally.

Do you have a problem tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Do not let the bills increase even more, or possibly cause damage to your residence, get hold of our emergency plumber now.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can often replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very acceptable expenditure.
