Has the kitchen tap turned into a fountain? Has the sink started overflowing at an inappropriate time? No hot water, just as family are supposed to arrive? Do not let a leak, burst pipe, broken tap or hot water heater destroy your day.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked and convenient. There are so many ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as fast as possible, even if it is after hours or a public holiday.
Our Shorncliffe emergency plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We’re prepared to resolve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge, equipment and parts to fix plumbing problems of all types quickly and efficiently. We’ve been looking after customers in the Shorncliffe area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and clean job.
As well as emergency plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? 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 switchboard.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating valve to cut off all the water to your house.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant things, mop up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main isolating valve will be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help fast. Our emergency Shorncliffe plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.
A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
We suggest trying to clear minor obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we don't suggest chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and may even cause more damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
You regularly don’t think about how frequently we count upon easy fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Time to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as fast as possible, it will become more costly by the day.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Shorncliffe emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount 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 new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.
The pipes in your residence are a generally unseen but vital part of everyday life. Large and small, under the ground, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they bring clean water to you and take the used stuff away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your possessions and even your health.
Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have iced up and ruptured. In a recently built house, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the urgent plumber arrives, they will identify the problems and fix them in a quick and expert manner.
Do you live with a irksome faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a serious irritation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, ruining your sleep.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From big to small, our Shorncliffe emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and general plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?
Find a length of string of some type, and knot it around the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and trickle off quietly.
