FAQ 24 Hour Plumbers

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

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the power off at the power box if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away significant things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

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

We know a blocked pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of 24 hour plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger you can try to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can damage your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water disasters hurt your pocket, get them repaired asap.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our St Leonards 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a generally unseen but significant part of your daily life. Big and little, in the garden, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to you and take the used stuff away.

Most of the time we do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved immediately, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.

When you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers without delay. We are waiting to help St Leonards residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to look for other issues.

Tapware Leaks Sorted

Do you have a busted faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

We have been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to fix your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving St Leonards with 24 hour plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or little.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it’s not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or knot a length of twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
