Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Emergency 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 the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce 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. They will be there quickly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important possessions from the area. If the property 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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Blackburn South after hours plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing right away. That is why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

A clogged pipe is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We usually do not think about how frequently we rely on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really need a shower? Need to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again quickly so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very quickly.

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

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Most of the time you do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have invaded underground pipes. Or there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

When our after hours plumber is present, they can locate the issues and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a troublesome tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how aggravating it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious problem.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the 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.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to stop your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Blackburn South with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or small.

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 kind, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
