Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency Plumbers: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

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

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A obstructed pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the complication to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially 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 your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a few dishes to finish off? It is never opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted quickly. 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 always overflowing, you need it sorted asap so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired asap, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Cockle Bay emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable team can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

The pipes in your house are a normally unseen but important part of everyday activities. Big and little, in the garden, in the wall or the roof, they bring fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your home, your possessions and even your well-being.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. Our team are ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots may have grown into underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed in the first place.

Once they arrive, our same day plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other problems.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tap Issues Solved

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

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, ruining your shuteye.

As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise more, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our same day plumber right away.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to remedy that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Cockle Bay plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we can also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
