24 Hour Plumber: FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to stop all water to your house.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to save the day.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things close to the leak, and clean up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The primary isolating valve is generally on the border of your property near the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help asap. Our 24 hour Clontarf plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

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 isn’t possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call Clontarf plumbers will quickly identify the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Leaks

You regularly do not think about how heavily we depend upon easy fast hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Want to finish off some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.

When your hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there promptly to figure out the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water calamities empty your pocket, get them repaired as soon as possible.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Clontarf 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Big or little, buried subterranean or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your residence, and transfer dirty water and sewage away.

Normally you don’t even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired asap, to prevent damage to your residence, possessions and health.

Our 24 hour plumbers are prepared to be there right away, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely cold weather and burst. Tree roots may have invaded subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Once the same day plumber arrives, they can locate the problems and repair them in a rapid and professional manner.

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a irksome faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright defective?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a major issue.

It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you want, we can install an interim faucet until we locate the style you need.

From 24 hour plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Clontarf plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, we can also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
