I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the breaker box.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While waiting, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary shutoff valve is generally on the edge of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance fast. Our emergency Mernda plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged drains can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains unclogged.
Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your abode quickly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We suggest trying to clear minor blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
You regularly do not think about how heavily you depend on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Time to take care of a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and find it’s lukewarm.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Mernda emergency plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can help in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.
From the small clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there is a problem.
Usually, people barely even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a serious issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before your house, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise further damage.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and burst. In a new home, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our on call plumbers can diagnose and fix the damaged pipes or leaks speedily and precisely.
Do you own a broken tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to have a dripping or busted tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it’s echoing around your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a sigificant problem.
Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, get hold of our on call plumber now.
Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you require, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we find the style you want.
From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Mernda plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
