24 Hour Plumber - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to your home.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

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

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a obstructed pipe can be a major problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That is why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our same day Sans Souci plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We recommend trying to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Not Working

We regularly don’t think about how heavily we depend on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished in the garage and really need a shower? Want to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s tepid.

When the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it fixed promptly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed fast, it can become more costly by the day.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Sans Souci 24 hour plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable team can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your home are a largely unseen but significant part of your daily activities. Big or small, underground, within the walls or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally we do not even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out immediately, to minimise damage to your residence, possessions and health.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean seals. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if required to look for other issues.

Tap Problems Fixed

Do you own a broken faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious annoyance. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your deams.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, call our on call plumber straight away.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will quickly diagnose the issue and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Sans Souci 24 hour plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

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