What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the power off at the power box if needed first.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The main shutoff valve is positioned on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your home from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our after hours North Melbourne plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it is the bathroom sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call North Melbourne plumbers will quickly locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we return.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drains.
Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour North Melbourne emergency plumbers now!

How did my pipe fail?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have iced up and ruptured. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they are at your home, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other damage.
Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious annoyance. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, ruining your sleep.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert emergency plumbers can efficiently identify the trouble and resolve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
