FAQ - On Call Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?

What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the breaker box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We will be there quickly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions from the area, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

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

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

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want help asap. Our on call Balmain plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours Balmain plumbers will quickly locate the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We suggest trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we don't suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can even cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water System Leaks

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to finish up? It’s hard to have a good wash when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you want it working again quickly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

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

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Balmain on call plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

Large and small, buried subterranean or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a concealed but significant part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Normally, people never even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our on call plumbers are prepared to get to you quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. They may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots may have grown into underground pipes. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.

Our urgent plumbers can diagnose and fix the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and precisely.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

We’ve been called to an assortment of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential niggle, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even further, or maybe even cause damage to your home, get hold of our urgent plumber straight away.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to stop your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Balmain on call plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If it is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or knot a length of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
