FAQ - Emergency Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?

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 switch off the power at the switchboard. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important items, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your home speedily to resolve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to remove a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your pipes.

Don’t let a clogged pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Issues

You usually do not think about how much we depend on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished in the garage and really need a shower? Time to finish up some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s cold.

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

Hot water leaks can quickly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted promptly, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Plenty emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

Big or little, buried under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but vital part of your everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your abode, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Normally, we do not even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a significant problem that needs to be resolved urgently before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have frozen in very frigid weather and split. Tree roots may have forced open subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and repair your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a busted faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Many customers over the years have told us how frustrating it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s echoing throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.

As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even more, or possibly cause damage to your residence, ring our 24 hour plumber right away.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist same day plumbers can efficiently identify the cause and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Plenty with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or small.

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

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
