Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumbers - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

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

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

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Russell Lea on call plumbers know that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to asap. That’s why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our on call Russell Lea plumbers will quickly locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

All 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 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 is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our on call Russell Lea emergency plumbing team now!

Did you know about thiry percent of your home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies damage your pocket, get them fixed asap.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your house are a normally concealed but important part of daily activities. Large and small, in the garden, in the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Most of the time you barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved asap, to minimise damage to your house, furnishings and health.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so call our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have iced up and cracked. In a newer home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground junctions could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers can identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Tap Problems Resolved

Do you own a broken tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve seen an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant niggle, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

It is not just irritating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you need a whole new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers will quickly diagnose the cause and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Russell Lea plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team also provide a wide selection of other 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 style of tap, we can often replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very reasonable cost.
