Urgent 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.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

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

In the meantime, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant things from the area. If the house water is turned off, 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 also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our urgent Fawkner plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Fawkner plumbers will quickly identify the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to keep you going until we come back.

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. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it working again speedily. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know around 30% of your household power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water catastrophies empty your pocket, get them repaired quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Fawkner urgent plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If the entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there is an issue.

Normally we barely even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a extremely cold region, the pipes might have frozen and split. They could just be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots can invade subterranean joins.

When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if required to look for other issues.

All Taps Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

We have been called to an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

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

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Fawkner plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, we can also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and trickle off quietly.
