After Hours Plumber FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

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

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove important things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!

The water main shutoff valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your property from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We know a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger you can attempt to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Issues

You regularly do not realise how much you rely upon easy quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really need a wash? Want to take care of some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s lukewarm.

When your hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. We’ll be there promptly to identify the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very quickly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Chatswood West after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 your cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

Most of the time you barely even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your house, furnishings and health.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Chatswood West residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and split. In a newer residence, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground junctions might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers can identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks speedily and efficiently.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?

Many clients over the years have told us how vexing it is to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s resounding around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers can rapidly identify the issue and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Chatswood West after hours plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest outlay.
