Has your kitchen faucet turned into a fountain? Has the sink started overflowing at an inopportune time? No hot water, just as the mother-in-law is due to arrive? Do not let a leak, burst pipe, broken tap or hot water cylinder destroy your plans.
Plumbing problems are never pre-booked or convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as we can, even if it is public holiday or after hours.
Our South Melbourne emergency plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We’re ready to resolve your problems so you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained plumbers have the knowledge, equipment and components to repair plumbing problems of all types quickly and economically. We’ve been looking after customers in the South Melbourne area for years, and our loyal clients keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and clean job.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, phone or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the power panel if needed first.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find a water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to fix the leak.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
You may have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
We know a obstructed drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.
If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We generally don’t realise how frequently you rely on easy fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Need to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again fast so your life can get back to normal.
Did you know about 30% of the average home power bill goes to 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 residence and to items stored nearby. Do not let hot water catastrophies hurt your wallet, get them repaired fast.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our South Melbourne emergency plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there’s a problem.
Often, you do not even recall their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a serious problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be there right away, so ring us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for many reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have iced up in extremely wintery weather and burst. Tree roots might have forced open underground seals. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Once the urgent plumber arrives, they will identify the problems and fix them in a prompt and expert manner.
Do you have a busted tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?
We’ve seen a range of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor annoyance, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.
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. Do not let the bills rise even further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, call our urgent plumber right away.
Whether you need a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers will speedily identify the cause and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our South Melbourne emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?
If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot some string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
