FAQ: 24 Hour Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the power panel.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Canterbury on call plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to right away. That’s why we offer our 24 hour plumbing service.

Clogged drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Canterbury plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

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

Do not let a clogged pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Leaks

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Have a few of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as soon as possible, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Canterbury 24 hour plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can arrange to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

Big and small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your house are a unseen but significant part of your daily activities. They carry clean water to your home, and remove used water and sewage away.

Ususally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and health.

Our 24 hour plumbers are set to be there right away, so ring our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in extremely frigid weather and burst. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

Our on call plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks speedily and precisely.

Tapware Leaks Resolved

Do you have a problem faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our after hours plumber right away.

Whether you require a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and remedy it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our Canterbury 24 hour plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
