After Hours Plumbers FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your residence.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Viewbank same day plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That is why we have our after hours plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

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

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the drains.

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

Hot Water Leaks

You tend to do not think about how frequently we depend upon effortless fast hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Need to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s barely warm.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it repaired quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as soon as possible, it can become more expensive by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Viewbank after hours plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our friendly team can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the little clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Normally, we never even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major issue that needs to be sorted urgently before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are waiting to answer night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a new residence, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our emergency plumbers will identify and fix your damaged pipes or leaks quickly and efficiently.

Tap Issues Fixed

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your deams.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

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

As well as providing Viewbank with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or minor.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very modest price.
