Urgent Plumber: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the electricity off on the power panel.

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

Once that is done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to fix the leak.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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

The primary isolating valve will generally be on the edge of the property near the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Solved

We realise a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

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

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

Can I unclog the drain myself?

We suggest trying to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours Five Dock emergency plumbing team now!

Hot Water Tank Problems

We usually do not realise how much you rely on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Want to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.

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 faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it fixed as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Five Dock urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Big and small, hidden in the garden or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but integral part of everyday life. They bring fresh water to your house, and take dirty water and sewage away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it resolved asap to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to assist Five Dock residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and cracked. In a recently built residence, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Underground joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if required to check for other problems.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a problem tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Many clients over the years have told us how irritating it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at night when it’s resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a sigificant problem.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can put in a temporary faucet until we locate the style you desire.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Five Dock plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and trickle off quietly.
