24 Hour Plumber FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

If there is still water 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 can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.

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

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary isolating valve will be on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance right now. Our 24 hour Gowanbrae plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our same day Gowanbrae plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We recommend attempting to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can cause more damage to the drains.

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

Hot Water Tank Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a hot shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish off? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can rapidly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed fast, the cost can become more expensive by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Gowanbrae 24 hour plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working 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 cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is old and worn out, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

Large and small, buried in the garden or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a concealed but significant part of your everyday life. They bring fresh water to your abode, and take used water and sewage out.

Normally, we barely even remember their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent yet more leaking.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and split. In a recently built home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our urgent plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating around your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to halt that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From 24 hour plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Gowanbrae plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, we also offer a wide selection of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot some string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
