FAQ - Urgent Plumber

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

What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power box.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to cut off all water to the property.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!

The water main shutoff valve is usually found 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 the mains off can protect your home from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We know a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.

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

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but significant part of daily activities. Large or little, in the garden, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Usually, we don’t even think about them until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is generally a serious issue that must be sorted urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Thornbury residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to get there, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and split. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our same day plumbers will diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?

We have seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial aggravation, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Do not let the bills rise even higher, or maybe even cause damage to your home, ring our on call plumber straight away.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you want, we can install a temporary tap until we locate what you want.

From big to small, our Thornbury urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and general plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and dribble off quietly.
