24 Hour Plumber FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to 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.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is found on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a blocked drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of 24 hour plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can try to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.

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

Hot Water Issues

Had a hard day at work and desperately require a refreshing shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have some dishes to deal with? It is never opportune to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it to be working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our North Balgowlah 24 hour plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is 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 isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can organise repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

The pipes in your home are a generally concealed but key part of daily activities. Big and small, in the garden, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you want it fixed as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our 24 hour plumbers are ready to be on the scene right away, so call our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did the pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you reside in a extremely cold location, the pipes might have iced up and cracked. They might simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can grow into subterranean pipes.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to check for other problems.

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?

A lot of customers over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s reverberating around your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if required. If we don’t have the tap you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we locate what you want.

From big to small, our North Balgowlah 24 hour plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a broad selection of urgent and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can frequently replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very modest outlay.
