Urgent Plumber: FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

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

The main shutoff valve is generally on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

We understand a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Large or little, hidden underground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of your everyday life. They carry fresh water to your abode, and take dirty water and sewage away.

Often, you barely even remember them until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a major issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there right away, so contact our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean seals. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

When they arrive, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if required to look for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a annoying tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Wooloowin plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts right then and there for a very reasonable outlay.
