FAQ - 24 Hour Plumber

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

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the switchboard if needed first.

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

Once that is done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We know a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of 24 hour plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our same day Eltham plumbers will efficiently identify the problem 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 complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.

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

Hot Water System Problems

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It is hard to have a proper clean up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied 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 remedied quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Did you know around 30% of your home electricity bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water catastrophies harm your pocket, get them repaired quickly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Eltham 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

Large and little, hidden underground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your house are a concealed but indispensible part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your home, and take used water and sewage out.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our 24 hour plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so call our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes may have iced up and ruptured. They may simply be old and past their use-by. They may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean seals.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will diagnose the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if required to look for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. Something that can go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your house, ring our on call plumber right away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you want, we can put in an interim tap until we locate the style you need.

From big to small, our Eltham 24 hour plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and general plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie some twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
