On Call Plumber: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing disaster occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the power panel if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

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

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

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

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

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a obstructed drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of on call plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our same day Blakehurst plumbers will quickly locate the problem and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through until we return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

Large or little, buried subterranean or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a hidden but key part of your everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your home, and take dirty water and sewage out.

Usually, you barely even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is a serious problem that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our on call plumbers asap. We are waiting to help Blakehurst residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the home.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a new residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our emergency plumber arrives, they can locate the problems and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a problem faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can put in an interim faucet until we locate what you need.

From big to small, our Blakehurst on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
