Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

After Hours Plumber: 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 water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that’s done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove significant items from the area. If the property 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.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

We know a clogged pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. 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 the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your home rapidly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

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.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again fast so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your 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 often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Blackburn after hours plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly team can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

After Hours Plumbers Standing By

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is an issue.

Ususally you barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have invaded underground joints. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

When the urgent plumber arrives, they can isolate the issues and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Problems Resolved

Do you have a troublesome tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you need an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert urgent plumbers will rapidly identify the issue and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From after hours plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Blackburn plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, the team also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
