I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the power off at the power box if needed first.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to your residence.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary shutoff valve is usually found on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can save your property from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance straight away. Our 24 hour The Spit plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our on call The Spit plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is awkward to have a proper wash when the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it repaired fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Spit 24 hour plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there is an issue.
As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your well-being.
As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have iced up in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots may have forced open subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.
Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other damage.
Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?
We have been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial niggle, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, call our team now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to resolve your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.
As well as serving The Spit with 24 hour plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts immediately for a very reasonable outlay.
