Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to get things sorted.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, mop up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally found on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
Our Ivanhoe East emergency plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we provide our on call plumbing service.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode speedily to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
In the rare instance that we can not get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers come back.
We suggest trying to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to the pipes.
Do not let a clogged pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
You tend to don’t realise how much you count on easy fast hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Want to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted asap so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Ivanhoe East on call plumbers right away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, we can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.
Big or small, hidden underground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your residence are a unseen but vital part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your house, and remove used water and sewage out.
Once there is an issue though, it is the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it fixed without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your health.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further damage.
There are many reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes may have iced up and split. They might simply be aged and worn out. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean joins.
When the emergency plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.
Do you own a problem faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?
We’ve seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.
It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist emergency plumbers can rapidly find the cause and solve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.
From big to small, our Ivanhoe East on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or tie a piece of string around the faucet spout long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
