Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

Emergency Plumbers - FAQ

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 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 home. 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 reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They will be there promptly to resolve the issue.

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

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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Russell Lea 24 hour plumbers understand that a blocked pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to right away. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.

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.

Do not let a clogged pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to deal with? It’s difficult to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it remedied fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Russell Lea emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder is not fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is an issue.

Usually, you never even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major issue that must be sorted out urgently before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

When you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers immediately. We are waiting to assist Russell Lea residents right away. While you are waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer house, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will locate the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other problems.

All Taps Covered

Tapware Problems Solved

Do you have a annoying faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, ruining your shuteye.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills rise further, or maybe even cause damage to your home, call our 24 hour plumber straight away.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we locate what you want.

From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Russell Lea plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we can also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

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

If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively tie some string around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
