When a leak begins spouting, or a drain is blocked, or the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to get there. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.

What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the breaker box.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to cut off all the water to the house.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
The primary isolating valve is normally on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
We understand a clogged pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
A obstructed drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Blackburn plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the drains.
Don’t let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We regularly don’t think about how much you depend upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really need a wash? Time to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.
If the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it to be fixed as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Blackburn 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.
From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s an issue.
Most of the time we don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved immediately, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our 24 hour plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent further flooding.
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might start to leak. If you reside in a extremely cold location, they may have iced up and cracked. They may just be aged and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots can invade underground joins.
Our emergency plumbers will identify and repair your burst pipes or leaks quickly and expertly.
Do you have a troublesome tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. Something that may go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.
Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your house, contact our on call plumber right away.
Whether you need an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can quickly locate the problem 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 required.
From 24 hour plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Blackburn plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and trickle off quietly.
