FAQ After Hours Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the power box.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to cut off all the water to the house.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you are waiting, remove any important things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally located on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our after hours Kogarah plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our 24 hour Kogarah plumbers will quickly identify the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the drains.

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

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We usually do not think about how much you depend on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Time to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again fast so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Kogarah after hours plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your home are a normally concealed but integral part of daily activities. Big or little, underground, in the walls or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it resolved without delay to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more leaking.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and ruptured. In a newer house, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our 24 hour plumber arrives, they will identify the issues and fix them in a rapid and expert manner.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a broken tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. A little thing that can go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your sleep.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or maybe even cause damage to your home, contact our 24 hour plumber right away.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have what you need, we can install a temporary tap until we track down the style you want.

From after hours plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Kogarah plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very reasonable price.
