FAQ: 24 Hour Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?

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

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

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

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage the pipes.

How did the pipe burst?

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will identify the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if needed to check for other issues.

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

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

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and trickle off quietly.
