After Hours Plumber - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe hits?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to the drains.
