It is the worst time and your kitchen faucet has started leaking, or your hot water cylinder has stopped working, or the toilet is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and blocked drains can all be a pain.

We have been looking after clients in the CBD & North Melbourne area for years, and our loyal clients keep coming back because they know we will do an efficient and clean job.

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove significant items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The main shutoff valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your home from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
We know a clogged pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
A blocked drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we come back.
We endorse attempting to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don’t have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don’t suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have a few dishes to finish up? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is cold.
If the hot water is not hot enough, you need it to be repaired as fast as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very quickly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there is a problem.
Normally we never even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved immediately, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and well-being.
As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist CBD & North Melbourne residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the home.
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a extremely cold climate, they may have iced up and split. They may simply be aged and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may invade subterranean seals.
When the same day plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you own a irksome tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?
Many our clientelle over the years have told us how annoying it is to live with a dripping or broken tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it is echoing throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.
It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to halt your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
