FAQ Same Day Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, clean up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Lower Plenty 24 hour plumbers know that a blocked drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That’s why we offer our same day plumbing service.

A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Lower Plenty plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can damage your pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly require a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it working again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Lower Plenty same day plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is an issue.

Usually, people never even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a significant problem that needs to be sorted out immediately before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our same day plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so call our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a cold region, the pipes might have frozen and burst. They might just be aged and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into underground connections.

Once our 24 hour plumber is present, they can identify the problems and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a busted tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, destroying your shuteye.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down 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 might need on hand to stop your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Lower Plenty same day plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If it is not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot some string around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
