After Hours Plumbers - FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? 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 minimise any further leaking or flooding.

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

Once that’s sorted, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start cleaning up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

The primary isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your drains.

Do not let a obstructed pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a sink-full of dishes to take care of? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. We’ll be there quickly to identify the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Large or small, hidden in the ground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but vital part of your everyday life. They bring fresh water to your home, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Often, people don’t even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a serious problem that must be resolved urgently before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on their way quickly. We are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more flooding.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have invaded underground joints. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a irksome faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?

A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to live with a dripping or broken tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is reverberating throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious problem.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can push 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.

Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert 24 hour plumbers can rapidly find the trouble and remedy it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Elanora Heights with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or too small.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very acceptable cost.
