After Hours Plumber - FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the power box.

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

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the property 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 primary isolating valve will be on the border of the property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Newtown 24 hour plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to asap. That is why we offer our after hours plumbing service.

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your abode rapidly to solve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger handy you can try to clear the clog 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 your drains.

Don’t let a obstructed pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to finish off? It is a pain to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to figure out the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired promptly, it will become more expensive by the day.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Newtown after hours plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working 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 your existing hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your residence are a generally concealed but very important part of daily life. Large and small, under the ground, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Usually, people never even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant problem that needs to be sorted out urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to answer any time. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce yet more leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and cracked. In a recently built house, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other problems.

Tapware Issues Resolved

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s resounding around your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you need, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we locate what you need.

From large to small, our Newtown after hours plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of emergency and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If it’s not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
