What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the switchboard. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to resolve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The primary isolating valve will be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help fast. Our on call Canterbury plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes empty your wallet, get them repaired asap.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Canterbury on call plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. 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.

The pipes in your home are a largely unseen but very important part of your everyday life. Large or little, in the earth, in the walls or the roof, they carry clean water to you and take the used stuff away.
Most of the time we do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired immediately, to minimise damage to your residence, possessions and health.
The moment a leak is found, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further flooding.
How did my pipe start leaking?
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a very cold location, they may have frozen and ruptured. They could simply be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into subterranean junctions.
When our emergency plumber is present, they will identify the problems and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?
A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s echoing around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a major problem.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we locate what you need.
From big to small, our Canterbury on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
If it is not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie some string around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
