After Hours Plumbers - FAQ

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

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to cut off all the water to the residence.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The primary isolating valve will normally be on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.

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

How did my pipe burst?
