FAQ: On Call Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing disaster? 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 minimise any further leaking or flooding.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating 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 depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as possible to save the day.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, wipe up any water, and put 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 water main shutoff valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you need help right now. Our on call Middle Park plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

A blocked drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our same day Middle Park plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not work, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water System Leaks

You generally do not realise how much you rely on effortless quick hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished up in the garage 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 tepid.

When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again quickly so you can get back to normal life.

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 can account for about 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Middle Park on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our professional team can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Why did my pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a extremely cold climate, they may have iced up and split. They might just be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean pipes.

Once our after hours plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a quick and professional manner.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can often replace dilapidated parts right then and there for a very modest price.
