After Hours Plumbers: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all the water to your residence.

Once that’s done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to get things sorted.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of after hours plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A blocked pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

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

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your drains.

Hot Water System Leaks

You often do not realise how heavily we count on easy quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Want to deal with a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

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

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Five Dock after hours plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not fixable, our reliable team can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is tired and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is an issue.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are ready to take your call any time. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more leaking.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer house, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and efficiently.

Tapware Leaks Resolved

Do you own a broken tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

We’ve seen an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase higher, or possibly cause damage to your home, contact our same day plumber now.

Whether you need a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers can quickly find the problem and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Five Dock after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and general plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
