FAQ: Emergency Plumber

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.

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

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance right now. Our emergency Peakhurst Heights plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Peakhurst Heights plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We endorse attempting to clear minor obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.

Do not let a clogged drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Leaks

We tend to do not realise how heavily you depend on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really need a shower? Time to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.

If the hot water is not up to standard, you want it fixed quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can quickly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired fast, it can become more costly by the hour.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Peakhurst Heights emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our reliable plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

Large or small, hidden in the ground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of your everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it resolved asap to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you reside in a extremely cold region, they might have frozen and split. They may simply be old and dilapidated. They may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can invade subterranean seals.

Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will identify the issue and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if needed to check for other problems.

Tapware Problems Solved

Do you have a annoying faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the household 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 further, or possibly cause damage to your house, get hold of our urgent plumber straight away.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our on call plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have the faucet you require, we can put in a temporary faucet until we find what you need.

As well as providing Peakhurst Heights with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or too small.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and trickle off quietly.
