FAQ - After Hours Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing calamity strikes?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the switchboard.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any important things, mop 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, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

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

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a obstructed drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your home speedily to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can damage the pipes.

Don’t let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our on call McMahons Point emergency plumbers right away!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you need it remedied fast. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can quickly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, the cost can become more costly by the hour.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our McMahons Point after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot 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 new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, we can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there’s an issue.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your house, your contents and even your health.

Our after hours plumbers are set to get to you right away, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might start to leak. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes may have iced up and burst. They might simply be old and dilapidated. They may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can invade underground junctions.

Once they arrive, our same day plumber will locate the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. A little thing that might go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.

It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist emergency plumbers can rapidly find the cause and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing McMahons Point with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or minor.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can 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 faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very acceptable outlay.
