I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water 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 our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove significant things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
You might know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
We realise a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of 24 hour plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We suggest 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 rarely work well and can damage the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We often don’t realise how much we depend on easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Want to finish up a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.
When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it to be remedied quickly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it fixed.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our The Spit 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again promptly. 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.
Large or small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a hidden but vital part of everyday life. They carry fresh water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage out.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your health.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our 24 hour plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to assist The Spit residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the home.
How did my pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean connections. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
When our same day plumber is present, they will identify the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply broken?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how vexing it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s resounding around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major problem.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, get hold of our after hours plumber right away.
Whether you need an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers will efficiently locate the cause and remedy it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From 24 hour plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our The Spit plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
