What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the switchboard. Then, attempt to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
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 valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating tap to stop all the water to your house.
Once that is sorted, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to get things sorted.
In the meantime, start mopping up any water, position a container to catch drips, and remove important possessions from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary shutoff valve is usually found on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can protect your house from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our South bank emergency plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing immediately. That is why we provide our after hours plumbing service.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

We recommend trying to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and can cause more damage to the pipes.

From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is an issue.

Pipes can break down and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a newer house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the urgent plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.

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