After Hours Plumber - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The main isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of the property near the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black cover.

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

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it around the tap spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
