FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the switchboard.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The primary shutoff valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can save your home from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Solved

We know a obstructed pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can damage the drains.

Do not let a obstructed pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Not Working

Had a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It is seldom opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is cold.

When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to identify the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Did you know about thiry percent of your household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to items stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water problems empty your wallet, get them resolved as fast as possible.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Mickleham urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even think of them until there is an issue.

Normally you do not even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out immediately, to minimise damage to your residence, possessions and well-being.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re ready to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. They may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in very frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots may have grown into subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.

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

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a annoying tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the wee hours, destroying your deams.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers can quickly find the issue and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Mickleham urgent plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a broad selection of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Or knot a piece of string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
