Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - Urgent Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While waiting, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Richmond on call plumbers know that a blocked pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing asap. That is why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our on call Richmond plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Do not let a obstructed drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

Had a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to finish off? It is seldom convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our team a call. Our plumbers will be there swiftly to identify the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Richmond urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not fixable, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a generally hidden but very important part of everyday activities. Big and small, subterranean, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Most of the time you do not even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out asap, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re ready to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a very cold location, they might have frozen and cracked. They might simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean seals.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will locate the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other problems.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a troublesome faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

We have been called to an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the wee hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, 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 entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to resolve that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Richmond with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or little.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If it’s not aggravating enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie some string around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
