Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumber: 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 still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important items, clean up any water, and put a bucket to catch any 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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

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 resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We usually do not realise how heavily you rely upon easy fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a shower? Want to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.

When your hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there promptly to diagnose the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Cockle Bay urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and location. If the entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved In No Time

The pipes in your home are a largely unseen but vital part of everyday activities. Big and small, subterranean, within the walls or the roof or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Ususally we do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved asap, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and health.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be on the scene quickly, so call our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have iced up in extremely frigid weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into underground seals. Or there might be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.

Our after hours plumbers will identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and efficiently.

We Have You Covered

Tap Problems Sorted

Do you have a problem faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major irritation. Something that may go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your shuteye.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the faucet you want, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you desire.

From big to small, our Cockle Bay urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
