After Hours Plumber: FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

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

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away important things from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

The primary shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your residence from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our team of after hours plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our emergency Burwood Heights plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger you can try to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can damage the drains.

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

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Burwood Heights after hours plumbers as soon as you can.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even think of them until there is an issue.

Usually, we barely even recall their existence until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s a major issue that needs to be sorted out urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a call, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. We are ready to take your call day or night. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further flooding.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and burst. In a newer residence, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other problems.

Tapware Problems Solved

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

We’ve seen all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can install an interim tap until we find what you desire.

From big to small, our Burwood Heights after hours plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot a length of string around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
