When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the last thing you need is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked and convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as we can, even when it’s after hours or a public holiday.
Our Blakehurst on call plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re ready to resolve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
We’ve been servicing Blakehurst for years, and our specially trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to fix all sorts of plumbing jobs quickly and effectively. We will tidy up any mess we make prior to leaving.
As well as on call 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 serve you.
What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the power box if needed first.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to cut off all water to the home.
Once that is sorted, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
Our Blakehurst emergency plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we have our on call plumbing service.
Clogged drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour Blakehurst plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can not get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage the pipes.
Do not let a blocked pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Have some of dishes to finish off? It’s hard to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it to be hot again asap. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.
Did you know about 30% of the average home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water calamities empty your wallet, get them fixed as fast as possible.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Blakehurst on call plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do that in a timely manner as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there’s an issue.
Usually, we do not even think about them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is usually a serious issue that needs to be sorted out urgently before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are waiting to answer any time. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots may have forced open underground joints. Or there may be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.
Our 24 hour plumbers will identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks quickly and professionally.
Do you own a defective tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how annoying it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills rise even more, or possibly cause damage to your house, ring our emergency plumber straight away.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can put in an interim tap until we find the style you desire.
As well as serving Blakehurst with on call plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or little.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts immediately for a very modest price.
