FAQ: Urgent Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing disaster occurrs?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and clean up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You may have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance as soon as possible. Our urgent Narraweena plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, 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.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

We recommend attempting to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't work, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.

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

Hot Water System Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

If the hot water is not up to standard, you want it to be repaired asap. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Narraweena urgent plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our team can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

Big or little, buried in the earth or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but vital part of your daily life. They bring fresh water to your home, and remove used water and sewage away.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. We’re ready to take your call any time. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise yet more flooding.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and split. In a newer house, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Underground junctions may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to look for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

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

Many clients over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to have a dripping or busted tap. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is echoing throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.

It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down 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 require an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers can efficiently identify the cause and remedy it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Narraweena plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it is not aggravating enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
