Emergency Plumber: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, mop up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Fawkner after hours plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing asap. That is why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

A blocked pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it 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 none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode quickly to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our after hours Fawkner emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Not Working

We regularly don’t realise how heavily you count upon easy quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really need a shower? Time to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it fixed as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly put your power 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 sorted quickly, it will become more costly by the day.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Fawkner emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working 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.

How did the pipe fail?

There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you live in a extremely cold climate, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can invade underground connections.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the issue and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other damage.

Tap Leaks Fixed

Do you have a irksome tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a sigificant issue.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you need, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we track down the style you desire.

From large to small, our Fawkner emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and flow off quietly.
