After Hours Plumbers: FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power box.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to resolve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant items from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main isolating valve will normally be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We realise a obstructed pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Lewisham plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you have a plunger you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.

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

Hot Water System Leaks

You often do not realise how heavily you count upon effortless quick hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Time to deal with some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and resolve it. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Lewisham after hours plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 your cylinder is not fixable, our professional team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your contents and even your health.

As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers right away. Our team are waiting to help Lewisham residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have iced up and burst. They may simply be aged and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground joins.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will identify the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if required to check for other damage.

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?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a major issue.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to remedy your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Lewisham with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or small.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
