We have been serving Blackburn for years, and our specially trained plumbers know how, equipment and parts to repair all sorts of plumbing issues fast and effectively. We’ll even clean up any mess we make prior to leaving.

What do you do when a plumbing disaster arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off at the power box.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and minimise 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 waiting, remove any significant things from the area, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
The primary isolating valve will normally be on the border of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our on call Blackburn plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.
A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually 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 get back with what is required as soon as we can.
We endorse attempting to clear minor blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and desperately want a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a few dishes to finish up? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired asap so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Blackburn on call plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but key part of your everyday life. Large and little, in the ground, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your well-being.
Our on call plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so ring our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a new home, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the problem and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other issues.
Do you have a troublesome tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
Many clients over the years have told us how irritating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a major problem.
It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to stop your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
As well as providing Blackburn with on call plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or small.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a length of twine of some kind, 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 twine and dribble off quietly.
We have many years of combined experience looking after the people of Blackburn. Our many happy repeat customers confirm our reputation for professional, quality, reasonably priced work. We aim to help you with all your emergency and general plumbing issues quickly and professionally.
When you find a plumbing emergency, we are ready and waiting to save your bacon. We will be at your home rapidly to perform expert repairs rapidly and proficiently, and leave the area tidy and clean before we leave.
We provide Blackburn residents on call plumbing services at any time of the day or night, as well as every day maintenance and repairs. We’ve seen it all, and take pride in our reputation for low stress solutions for all your plumbing issues.
When you dial our emergency line, you will talk directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We may even be able to help you resolve your issue over the phone. If not, we’ll be there rapidly in a fully stocked van to get you sorted as fast as possible.
