FAQ: After Hours Plumber

What do I do when a plumbing calamity hits?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to resolve the issue.

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

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The water main shutoff valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your home from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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