Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

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

If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and reduce 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, start wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important items from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The main isolating valve is normally on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

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

We know a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger you can attempt to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.

Do not let a clogged drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

You usually do not realise how frequently you depend on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Want to deal with some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it to be remedied speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your property. 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 harm to your pocket very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Vaucluse urgent plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, requirements and location. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but significant part of everyday life. Big or small, under the ground, within the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, people don’t even think about their existence until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s usually a serious problem that must be sorted immediately before your home, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a newer house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our after hours plumber is present, they will locate the issues and fix them in a speedy and professional manner.

Do you own a defective faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

Many our clientelle over the years have told us how aggravating it is to have a dripping or busted tap. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is reverberating throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a serious issue.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers can rapidly locate the issue and resolve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Vaucluse urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a broad selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it is not aggravating enough to warrant fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively knot some twine around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
