Urgent Plumber - FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have frozen and cracked. In a newer house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our same day plumber will locate the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if required to check for other damage.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you want a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers will rapidly find the cause and resolve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively knot some string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
