FAQ Urgent Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

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

If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to save the day.

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

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The primary shutoff valve is generally on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

We understand a blocked pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our emergency Thornleigh plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We suggest attempting to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and can cause more damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water System Problems

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to finish off? It is hard to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

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

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 thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Thornleigh urgent plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 the cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

Big and little, buried under the ground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a unseen but significant part of everyday life. They carry clean water to your abode, and take dirty water and sewage away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to get to you right away, so contact our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe start leaking?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a extremely cold location, they might have iced up and burst. They could simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots can force open subterranean connections.

When the after hours plumber is present, they can locate the issues and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright defective?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how annoying it is to live with a dripping or defective tap. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is echoing around the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.

Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills rise higher, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber straight away.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to resolve that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Thornleigh urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
