After Hours Plumbers - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

A lot of 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 can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to stop all the water to your home.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.

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

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is found on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our after hours Longueville plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your home speedily to resolve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

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 solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your pipes.

Do not let a clogged pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Problems

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have some of dishes to deal with? It is awkward to have a good clean when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it working again speedily. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water troubles damage your wallet, get them repaired asap.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Longueville after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount 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 reliable plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but important part of daily life. Large and small, subterranean, within the wall or the roof, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise yet more leaking.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open underground pipes. Or there may be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.

When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other damage.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how annoying it is to live with a dripping or broken tap. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious issue.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers can efficiently find the cause and solve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Longueville with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or too small.

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

If it’s not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a length of string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
