What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?
What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, attempt to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to solve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things from the area, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
You might know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our emergency Blakehurst plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Blakehurst plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and clear 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’ll temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We recommend attempting 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 do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can cause more damage to the pipes.
Do not let a blocked drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have some dishes to finish off? It is never convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is barely warm.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again asap so your life can get back to normal.
Did you know around 30% of your household power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes harm your wallet, get them resolved quickly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Blakehurst emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not fixable, our reliable plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and worn out, we can organise repairs at a time that works for you as well.
Big or little, hidden in the earth or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but significant part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your abode, and transfer unclean water and sewage away.
Normally, we don’t even think about them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a significant issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
Our emergency plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
There are many reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They could just be old and dilapidated. They might not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots may grow into underground pipes.
Our same day plumbers will identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.
Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. A little thing that might go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, destroying your sleep.
Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Do not let the bills increase even further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our on call plumber right away.
Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers can quickly find the problem and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving Blakehurst with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or small.
Why is my tap dripping?
If the drip is not aggravating enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the sound. Or tie a piece of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
