FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

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

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the issue.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch any drips. You should also 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 found on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes cleared.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day Berowra Heights plumbers will quickly locate the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we come back.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your pipes.

Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Berowra Heights emergency plumbers now!

Hot Water Problems

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to identify the problem and find a solution. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Berowra Heights urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a largely concealed but vital part of your daily life. Large and little, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Most of the time you do not even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and health.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so ring our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots may have invaded underground seals. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Once our emergency plumber is present, they will locate the problems and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a problematic faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant annoyance. A little thing that may go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, destroying your shuteye.

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

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to stop that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Berowra Heights plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, we can also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and dribble off quietly.
