FAQ - On Call Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to cut off all water to the house.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to save the day.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

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

The main shutoff valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can protect your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Birchgrove emergency plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That is why we have our on call plumbing service.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your abode rapidly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We endorse trying to clear simple clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.

Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our urgent Birchgrove emergency plumbers now!

Hot Water System Problems

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to deal with? It’s difficult to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it repaired quickly so your life can get back to normal.

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

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Birchgrove on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again promptly. 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 your cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and worn out, we can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

Big or little, hidden in the earth or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a hidden but indispensible part of everyday life. They bring clean water to your residence, and transfer unclean water and sewage out.

Normally, people never even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

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

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and burst. In a recently built home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our urgent plumbers can diagnose and fix the damaged pipes or leaks expeitiously and efficiently.

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a annoying faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a major aggravation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your deams.

Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even higher, or possibly cause damage to your residence, call our emergency plumber now.

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

As well as providing Birchgrove with on call plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.

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

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest cost.
