Emergency Plumbers - FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the breaker box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary isolating valve will generally be on the edge of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Craigieburn after hours plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to asap. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.

A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it by yourself 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 we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We endorse trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may cause more damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a clogged drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Got some dishes to finish up? It is never handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water is not up to standard, you want it sorted asap. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed asap, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Craigieburn emergency plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

Large or little, buried in the garden or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a concealed but integral part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your house, and transfer used water and sewage away.

Normally we never even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired asap, to minimise damage to your house, furnishings and health.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further flooding.

How did my pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, they may have frozen and ruptured. They could just be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots may force open underground seals.

When the after hours plumber arrives, they will identify the problems and repair them in a speedy and professional manner.

Tapware Issues Fixed

Do you have a broken tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it’s echoing throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a serious problem.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you want an entire new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers can rapidly find the trouble and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Craigieburn plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

If it is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
