What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the breaker box.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that is done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to get things sorted.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, wipe up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
Our Russell Lea on call plumbers know that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to right away. That is why we provide our after hours plumbing service.
A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are finished.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger 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 seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the pipes.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our urgent Russell Lea emergency plumbing team right away!
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 warm up following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to finish off? It is difficult to have a good wash when the water is lukewarm.
When your hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get your life back to normal.
Did you know around 30% of your home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water catastrophies hurt your pocket, get them repaired quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Russell Lea after hours plumbers right away. We will get the 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 old hot water cylinder is not repairable, our friendly team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there is a problem.
Normally, people don’t even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a serious problem that must be sorted out urgently before your house, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe fail?
Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and cracked. In a recently built house, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground junctions may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our on call plumber is present, they will identify the problems and repair them in a prompt and expert manner.
Do you live with a irksome faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.
It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can run 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 negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers will quickly find the issue and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as providing Russell Lea with after hours plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or little.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
If it’s not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
We have many years of combined experience providing plumbing services for the people of Russell Lea. Our many happy repeat clients prove our reputation for expert, quality, reasonably priced work. Our team aim to assist you with your emergency and non-urgent plumbing issues rapidly and efficiently.
