Emergency Plumber: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your property.

Once that is sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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

You might have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your abode rapidly to resolve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that we can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage your drains.

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

Hot Water Tank Problems

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. We’ll be there swiftly to identify the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get your life back to normal.

Did you know about thiry percent of your home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water problems empty your wallet, get them repaired quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Ingleside emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

Large or small, hidden in the ground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but integral part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your residence, and take dirty water and sewage out.

Normally, we don’t even recall their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a significant issue that must be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our emergency plumbers are set to be there quickly, so call us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and burst. Tree roots may have invaded subterranean seals. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.

When our same day plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a busted faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Many customers over the years have told us how vexing it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a serious problem.

It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find what you desire.

As well as serving Ingleside with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or too small.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it is not bad enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie a piece of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
