Urgent Plumbers: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the electricity off at the power panel if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to stop all the water to your residence.

Once that is done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away important things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

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

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you need help straight away. Our urgent Heidelberg plumbers know how disheartening and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your abode speedily to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the drain pipes.

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 Problems

We generally don’t think about how much we count on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Time to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can quickly put your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, the cost will become more expensive by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Heidelberg urgent plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly team can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Big or little, buried subterranean or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a concealed but vital part of daily activities. They bring clean water to your home, and take used water and sewage out.

Ususally we never even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired without delay, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you reside in a extremely cold region, the pipes might have iced up and cracked. They could simply be aged and worn out. The pipes might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots may grow into underground connections.

When they arrive, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if needed to check for other problems.

Tapware Issues Fixed

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

We’ve seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor niggle, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you need an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers can efficiently find the issue and resolve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Heidelberg plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

If it is not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Or tie some string around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
