Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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.

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 can’t locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to stop all the water to your property.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there shortly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important things from the area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you need help straight away. Our urgent Karaka plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call Karaka plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

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 pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Got a few dishes to finish up? It is seldom opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it sorted as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed quickly, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Karaka urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the best solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Normally we never even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly we’re looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers right away. We are waiting to help Karaka residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the home.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in very frigid weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean pipes. Or there may be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Our on call plumbers will identify and repair your damaged pipes or leaks rapidly and precisely.

All Tapware Handled

Tapware Leaks Solved

Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how annoying it can be to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s reverberating throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a serious issue.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our on call plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you require, we can install an interim tap until we find what you desire.

As well as providing Karaka with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or little.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it around the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
