FAQ On Call Plumber

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.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there promptly to fix the leak.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Fawkner emergency plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing right away. That is why we provide our on call plumbing service.

A obstructed drain is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your home speedily to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

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 obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our emergency Fawkner emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We tend to don’t realise how much you depend on easy fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Need to finish off some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need 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 constantly overflowing, you want it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very swiftly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Fawkner on call plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not repairable, our friendly team can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and worn out, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your home are a generally concealed but important part of everyday life. Big or small, in the garden, in the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you barely even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise further damage.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a newer home, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if required to look for other damage.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a problem tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

We have seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we track down what you need.

From big to small, our Fawkner on call plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
