What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe hits?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the power off at the power box if needed first.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, begin mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, 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 the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
Our Ivanhoe East after hours plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing as soon as possible. That is why we have our 24 hour plumbing service.
A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our emergency Ivanhoe East plumbers will quickly identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it's a good idea to try to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.
Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Ivanhoe East emergency plumbers right away!
You often do not realise how frequently we depend on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Want to deal with a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.
When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. We will be there promptly to diagnose the issue and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Ivanhoe East 24 hour plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even think of them until there’s a problem.
Once there is an issue though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it repaired without delay to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.
Our 24 hour plumbers are ready to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did my pipe fail?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you live in a extremely cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They could just be aged and worn out. The pipes might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots may grow into underground connections.
When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other damage.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how annoying it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s reverberating throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a major problem.
It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you need a whole new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist same day plumbers will efficiently diagnose the problem and solve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Ivanhoe East 24 hour plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and general plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
If it’s not annoying enough to need fixing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
