FAQ - Emergency Plumbers

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 there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you are unable to find the tap to turn off, then you can 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 getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there quickly to solve the problem.

In the meantime, begin wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the mains 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 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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Solved

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance fast. Our emergency Balwyn plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Balwyn plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.

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 clogged pipes ruin your day. Call our after hours Balwyn emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a good clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to figure out the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very rapidly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Balwyn emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Promptly

The pipes in your home are a generally hidden but key part of daily activities. Large and small, in the garden, in the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help Balwyn residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and split. In a recently built home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if needed to look for other problems.

All Taps Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a troublesome faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

We have been called to all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor aggravation, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you need an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers can rapidly identify the cause and resolve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Balwyn with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or little.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If it is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
