What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power box.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to resolve the problem.
While waiting, clear away any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
The main shutoff valve will generally be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
We know a blocked pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Banksia plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Do not let clogged pipes ruin your day. Call our after hours Banksia emergency plumbers right away!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s awkward to have a proper clean when the water is cold.

Large or small, hidden in the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your home are a concealed but significant part of your everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage away.
Ususally we don’t even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out immediately, to minimise damage to your home, belongings and health.
As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise further flooding.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a extremely cold climate, they might have frozen and split. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into subterranean joins.
Once the after hours plumber arrives, they will identify the issues and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.
Do you have a problem faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, ruining your deams.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
