Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

FAQ: Emergency Plumber

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 water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the house 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 valves as well.

Emergency Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our emergency Richmond plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Blocked pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unclogged.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

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 solve the complication 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 a blocked drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

When your hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

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

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

If the cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there is a problem.

Ususally you don’t even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, belongings and health.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are ready to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes may have iced up and burst. They might just be aged and worn out. The pipes may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground pipes.

When they arrive, our on call plumber will diagnose the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a broken tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major irritation. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your sleep.

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

Whether you want a whole new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can quickly find the trouble and solve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Richmond plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, the team also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it is not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a piece of twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
