It is the worst time and your bathroom faucet has spouted a leak, or your hot water cylinder has stopped working, or the sink is blocked. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water tanks and clogged drains can all be a real pain.
A plumbing crisis can be a major inconvenience, and they have a tendency to occur at the worst possible moment. We all know how annoying it can be, which is why we aim to answer your phone and get there as fast as we can, whatever the day or time.
Our St George emergency plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re ready to resolve your problems so that you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing help, any day of the year.
We have been looking after St George for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, parts and equipment to fix all kinds of plumbing problems fast and effectively. We will even clean up any mess we make before we go.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting, clear away any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The main shutoff valve is normally on the border of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
Our St George after hours plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That is why we offer our emergency plumbing service.
Obestructed drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes cleared.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your abode rapidly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
If you’ve got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to the pipes.
Do not let a obstructed pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have some of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a proper wash up when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very quickly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our St George emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but important part of your daily life. Big and small, in the ground, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.
The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further leaking.
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a newer house, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our urgent plumbers can identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and precisely.
Do you have a troublesome faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?
We have been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we don’t have the faucet you require, we can put in a temporary tap until we track down the style you desire.
As well as serving St George with emergency plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or minor.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively tie some string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
