After Hours Plumber: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the switchboard.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to stop all the water to the residence.

Once that’s done, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove important items from the area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is found on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
