What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the switchboard.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your home. If you are unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once that’s done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to fix the leak.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally located on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We know a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our after hours Fitzroy plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
We endorse attempting to clear simple clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can cause more damage to your drains.
Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Fitzroy emergency plumbers right away!
You generally do not think about how much you depend upon easy quick hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Time to deal with some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s barely warm.
When the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it sorted asap. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Fitzroy emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a opportune fashion as well.
The pipes in your residence are a normally hidden but vital part of your daily activities. Big and little, underground, in the wall or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved asap, to prevent damage to your residence, belongings and health.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are waiting to take your call night or day. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might start to leak. If you live in a very cold climate, they might have iced up and cracked. They may simply be aged and past their use-by. They may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may force open subterranean pipes.
Our after hours plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.
Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply broken?
We have seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.
It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can push up the 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 negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you need an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will efficiently find the problem and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Fitzroy emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and general plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
