What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the power panel.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to fix the leak.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
We know a clogged pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of on call plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a toy 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 once more.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We endorse trying to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a obstructed drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got a few dishes to take care of? It is rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is tepid.
When your hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a ring. Our plumbers will be there promptly to figure out the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.
Hot water leaks can rapidly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted speedily, it can become more costly by the hour.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Hawthorn on call plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our helpful plumbers can help in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can arrange improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but key part of everyday life. Large or little, under the ground, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.
Often, people do not even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is usually a significant problem that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
Our on call plumbers are set to be on the scene quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in very cold weather and burst. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean pipes. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Our emergency plumbers can diagnose and repair the damaged pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.
Do you have a problematic faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?
Many our clientelle over the years have told us how vexing it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s echoing around the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a major issue.
It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are well equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you need, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find what you need.
As well as providing Hawthorn with on call plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or minor.
Why is my tap dripping?
If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie some twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
