24 Hour Plumber - FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the breaker box.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to save the day.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and clear away important things from the affected 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 valve is!

You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally positioned on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Surry Hills urgent plumbers understand that a obstructed drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we have our 24 hour plumbing service.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Surry Hills plumbers will quickly identify the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Issues

Had a hard day at work and badly need a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have some dishes to finish up? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is barely warm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. We’ll be there promptly to identify the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them 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 residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Surry Hills 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. 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 your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, we can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but integral part of daily life. Large or small, in the garden, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Usually, people never even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s a serious problem that needs to be sorted out immediately before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to help Surry Hills residents right away. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a new house, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will identify the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other issues.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a problematic faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your shuteye.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or possibly cause damage to your house, contact our on call plumber now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to resolve that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Surry Hills with 24 hour plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or small.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Or tie some twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
