On Call Plumber: FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power panel.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We know a blocked pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of on call plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked drain is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Frenchs Forest plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We suggest trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may even cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Call our urgent Frenchs Forest emergency plumbing team now!

Big and little, hidden in the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a concealed but vital part of your daily life. They bring clean water to your house, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

Usually, we never even think about their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant problem that must be resolved urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

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

When our 24 hour plumber is present, they can isolate the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
