Emergency Plumbers FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? 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 box.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned 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 shutoff valve to stop all the water to your house.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things from the area, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The primary isolating valve will be on the boundary of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until we return.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drain pipes.

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

Hot Water System Not Working

Had a hard day at work and badly need a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got some dishes to finish up? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is cold.

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

Hot water leaks can quickly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, it will become more costly by the day.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Kew East emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Often, you do not even recall their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a major issue that must be sorted out urgently before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so call our team as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have forced open underground joints. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

When our 24 hour plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a prompt and expert manner.

Tapware Leaks Fixed

Do you own a troublesome faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright defective?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that may go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your shuteye.

It is not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, 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 a whole new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers will efficiently locate the trouble and remedy it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Kew East plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts immediately for a very acceptable price.
