When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply is not, the very last thing you need is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing emergencies wait for no-one. They can cause significant problems at the most annoying time. This is why you want an emergency plumber you can trust to be available when you call. We will respond and get there as fast as possible, no matter what time of day it is.
No matter the time or day, our certified and quality CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers will fix your problems so you can get back to enjoying life again. Phone our 24 hour team immediately to get assistance with all of your Same Day plumbing needs, 365 days of the year.
We’ve been serving CBD & North Melbourne for years, and our highly trained plumbers know how, parts and equipment to resolve all kinds of plumbing jobs fast and effectively. We will tidy up any mess we have made before we go.
We do not just do emergency plumbing though, we are also available for plumbing jobs that are plumbing. Call or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll help you out with all your plumbing requirements. We are ready and waiting, regardless of what the issue is or how fast it needs to be solved.
Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The primary shutoff valve is positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can save your house from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
We understand a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our urgent CBD & North Melbourne plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are finished.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our on call CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers right away!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s difficult to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. We’ll be there quickly to diagnose the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can sort them out and get your life back to normal.
Did you know around 30% of your home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water problems damage your pocket, get them repaired quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there’s an issue.
Normally you barely even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired without delay, to minimise damage to your residence, furnishings and health.
The moment a leak is identified, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re ready to answer night or day. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further damage.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and cracked. They may just be aged and past their use-by. They might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can invade underground pipes.
Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks rapidly and professionally.
Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major annoyance. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, destroying your sleep.
It is not just irritating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
