After Hours Plumbers: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off on the power box.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important items close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally found on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Issues

We realise a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

In the rare case that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until our plumbers return.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We suggest trying to clear simple clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely work well, and may even cause more damage to the drains.

Do not let a obstructed drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It’s difficult to have a proper wash when the water is not hot.

When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Did you know around 30% of your home electricity bill goes to hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water disasters hurt your pocket, get them fixed quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Abbotsford after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 the cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can organise repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

The pipes in your residence are a generally concealed but important part of everyday activities. Large and little, underground, within the wall or the ceiling, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it repaired without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your health.

When you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our after hours plumbers immediately. We are waiting to help Abbotsford residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the home.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and split. Tree roots may have forced open underground joints. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

When they arrive, our same day plumber will identify the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other damage.

Taps Not Working?

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

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major irritation. Something that may go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist urgent plumbers will speedily find the cause and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From big to small, our Abbotsford after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it is not aggravating enough to need repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or knot a piece of string around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
