Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency Plumbers FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating tap to stop all water to your home.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to save the day.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important items from the area, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Thornbury 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing asap. That is why we offer our emergency plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Thornbury plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

We generally don’t think about how much we depend upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Time to finish up a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can quickly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired speedily, it can become more expensive by the hour.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Thornbury emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 the cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, we can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

Big or small, hidden under the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a hidden but important part of everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your residence, and remove used water and sewage out.

Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly you are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and health.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will identify the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if advised to check for other issues.

All Tapware Handled

Tap Problems Fixed

Do you own a defective faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a major aggravation. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your shuteye.

It isn’t just irritating drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to remedy that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Thornbury plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If it is not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
