What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the breaker box.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
While you wait, begin wiping up any water, place a container to catch any drips, and clear away important things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The water main shutoff valve is found on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your house from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our urgent CBD & North Melbourne plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
Obestructed pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes cleared.
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home speedily to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.
We suggest attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the blockage, we don’t recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our emergency CBD & North Melbourne emergency plumbers right away!
