I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all the water to your residence.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to save the day.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance right now. Our emergency Fitzroy North plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until we return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a good clean when the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it sorted promptly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.
Did you know around thiry percent of your home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water troubles empty your pocket, get them resolved fast.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Fitzroy North emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. 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 the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
The pipes in your residence are a largely concealed but indispensible part of your daily activities. Big and little, in the ground, within the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Usually, people barely even think about them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is usually a significant problem that needs to be resolved urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
Our emergency plumbers are ready to get to you right away, so ring us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.
How did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have grown into underground pipes. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were set up in the first place.
When the 24 hour plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and repair them in a speedy and professional manner.
Do you have a problematic faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. Something that may go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.
It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you require, our plumber can put in a temporary faucet until we track down the style you desire.
As well as serving Fitzroy North with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or small.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and flow off quietly.
