FAQ - After Hours Plumbers

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

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

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all water to your home.

Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important items from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is positioned on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you want help asap. Our after hours Willoughby plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home rapidly to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Problems

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a hot shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Got a pile of dishes to deal with? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.

When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can quickly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as soon as possible, it can become more costly by the hour.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Willoughby after hours plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your home are a normally hidden but important part of your everyday life. Big or small, in the ground, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out without delay, to minimise damage to your home, belongings and health.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our after hours plumbers will be with you rapidly. We’re ready to answer night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further flooding.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very wintery weather and burst. Tree roots could have forced open underground seals. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.

When our emergency plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.

Tap Problems Solved

We have been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a minor niggle, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase even more, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our same day plumber right away.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers will efficiently identify the cause and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Willoughby after hours plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad 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 peace and quiet?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
