Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Emergency Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should 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 even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our emergency Canterbury plumbers know how frustrating and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A clogged pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Canterbury plumbers will quickly identify the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our urgent Canterbury emergency plumbers now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a pile of dishes to deal with? It’s seldom opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it sorted asap so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very rapidly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Canterbury emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can help in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, 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 a problem.

Ususally you do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out asap, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in very frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have grown into subterranean joints. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

Once the urgent plumber is present, they will locate the problems and repair them in a quick and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you own a defective tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor annoyance, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking 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 a whole replacement tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the faucet you require, we can put in a temporary faucet until we track down the style you need.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Canterbury plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also provide a broad range of other plumbing services.

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

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and trickle off quietly.
