It is the worst possible time when your bathroom tap has started leaking, or your hot water heater has given up the ghost, or the sink is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and clogged drains can all be a pain.
Plumbing disasters are never pre-booked and convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, which is why we strive to be there as fast as possible, even when it is after hours or a public holiday.
Our Fitzroy North on call plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We are ready to resolve your problems so you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
We’ve been serving Fitzroy North for years, and our specially trained plumbers know how, parts and equipment to resolve all sorts of plumbing issues quickly and efficiently. We’ll even clean up any mess we’ve made prior to leaving.
As well as on call 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 serve you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? 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 needed turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They will be there rapidly to solve the issue.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The main isolating valve is normally on the edge of the property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a clogged drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of on call plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.
A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it 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 we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home speedily to solve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.
If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the pipes.
Don’t let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our after hours Fitzroy North emergency plumbers now!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to deal with? It is never convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is cold.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a call. Our team will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get you back to normal life.
Did you know about 30% of the average household power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies harm your wallet, get them repaired as fast as possible.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Fitzroy North on call plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing 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 you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.
Big and little, hidden underground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but key part of your everyday activities. They carry clean water to your home, and take dirty water and sewage away.
Most of the time we do not even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out asap, to prevent damage to your residence, possessions and well-being.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further flooding.
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you live in a cold location, they may have frozen and ruptured. They may simply be old and past their use-by. They may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may grow into underground pipes.
When they are at your home, our same day plumber will diagnose the issue and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other damage.
Do you live with a problematic faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?
We have been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the 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 small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the tap you want, we can install a temporary faucet until we locate what you want.
From on call plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our Fitzroy North plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
