On Call Plumber FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

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

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to stop all water to your residence.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While waiting, remove any significant items from the area, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The primary isolating valve is generally on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of on call plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your abode speedily to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to the pipes.

Do not let a clogged pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Leaks

We often don’t think about how frequently we depend upon easy fast hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Need to deal with a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it will become more expensive by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Forest Lodge on call plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in finding the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

The pipes in your residence are a generally concealed but important part of your everyday life. Big or small, underground, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Normally, we don’t even recall their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a significant problem that must be resolved immediately before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are ready to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further leaking.

How did my pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a very cold climate, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They might just be aged and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may grow into subterranean connections.

When they are at your home, our urgent plumber will identify the issue and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipework if advised to look for other damage.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. Something that may go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos 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’s hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even more, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our urgent plumber right away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new tap, our emergency plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are well equipped with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we don’t have the faucet you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we track down what you want.

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

Why is my faucet dripping?

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts immediately for a very reasonable cost.
