FAQ After Hours Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

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

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the issue.

While you wait, start wiping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove important items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

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

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a obstructed drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day Dee Why plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you have a plunger you can try 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 pipes.

Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Dee Why emergency plumbers right away!

Hot Water Issues

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s hard to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.

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

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Dee Why after hours plumbers right away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a very cold location, they may have iced up and split. They could just be aged and worn out. They may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can force open underground pipes.

When they arrive, our on call plumber will locate the problem and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.

Tap Issues Solved

Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?

A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a major issue.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise further, or maybe even cause damage to your home, contact our emergency plumber now.

All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired.

As well as providing Dee Why with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or too small.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and dribble off quietly.
