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 make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the switchboard.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to cut off all the water to your house.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, wipe up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

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

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Watsonia plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger you can try to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.

Do not let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Issues

We usually don’t realise how frequently you count on easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Time to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

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

Did you know about thiry percent of your home power bill is used on hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water disasters damage your wallet, get them fixed as soon as possible.

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

Large or small, hidden in the earth or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but integral part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your abode, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.

Often, you barely even recall their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a major problem that must be resolved urgently before your house, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Watsonia residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the house.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and split. In a recently built home, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will locate the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if required to look for other problems.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a troublesome tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. Something that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, ruining your deams.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, call us now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to halt your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Watsonia plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad range of other plumbing services.

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

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can often replace worn out parts immediately for a very reasonable cost.
