It is the worst moment when your kitchen tap has spouted a leak, or the hot water cylinder has given up the ghost, or the drain is blocked. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water cylinders and blocked drains can all make your life a misery.

What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the electricity off at the switchboard.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to get things sorted.
While waiting, remove any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help right now. Our on call Griffin plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unblocked.
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Griffin plumbers will quickly identify the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We regularly don’t think about how frequently we rely on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Need to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know about 30% of your home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water woes damage your wallet, get them fixed as fast as possible.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Griffin on call plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can arrange to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.
From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s an issue.
Ususally we don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved asap, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and health.
The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce further leaking.
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a new residence, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our urgent plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.
Do you own a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. Something that might go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your deams.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, give us a ring.
Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are fully equipped with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have the faucet you want, we can install a temporary faucet until we track down what you need.
From big to small, our Griffin on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
We have many years of combined experience looking after the people of Griffin. Our many happy repeat customers prove our reputation for professional, quality, reasonably priced work. We aim to assist you with your emergency and general plumbing issues rapidly and professionally.

When you call our emergency line, you’ll talk directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We might even be able to help you resolve your problem over the phone. If not, we will be there rapidly in a fully equipped van to get it sorted as fast as possible.
