What do I do when a plumbing calamity strikes?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
A lot of 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 can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to the residence.
Once that is done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The main shutoff valve is normally on the boundary of the property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
A blocked pipe is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home rapidly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear the clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish up? It’s hard to have a good clean when the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be working again promptly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Reservoir emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our professional plumbers can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Big and small, buried in the earth or in the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but vital part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and take dirty water and sewage away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.
The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further leaking.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have invaded underground seals. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.
Once the 24 hour plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you live with a annoying faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
A lot of clients over the years have told us how irritating it can be to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s echoing throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a major issue.
As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills increase higher, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our after hours plumber straight away.

Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of string of some type, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
