FAQ - Emergency Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

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

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

Once that’s done, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can damage the pipes.

Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Newington emergency plumbers now!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a few dishes to finish off? It is rarely handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a ring. We will be there quickly to figure out the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Newington emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large or small, buried subterranean or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your house are a unseen but integral part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your home, and remove used water and sewage away.

Ususally we barely even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out immediately, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and health.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so call our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and ruptured. In a recently built home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if advised to look for other problems.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to remedy that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Newington emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

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

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can often replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very reasonable price.
