Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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 there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, remove any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

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

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

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.

Do not let a clogged drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Richmond emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you reside in a cold climate, the pipes may have iced up and burst. They could simply be aged and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots may force open subterranean junctions.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if needed to look for other problems.
