Emergency Plumbers: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?

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

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

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

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

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The water main shutoff valve is generally located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can save your property from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

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

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can damage the pipes.

Do not let a blocked drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Have some of dishes to finish up? It’s awkward to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Kangaroo Point emergency plumbers right away. 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 turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our reliable team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have frozen and split. In a recently built house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When the same day plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

Many our clientelle over the years have told us how vexing it is to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s reverberating throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a major problem.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Kangaroo Point plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, we can also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
