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.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to cut off all water to the house.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important things, wipe up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You also should turn 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our emergency Karaka plumbers will quickly locate the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required 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 blocked drains ruin your day. Call our emergency Karaka emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

You usually do not think about how heavily you rely upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Time to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

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

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm 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 Karaka urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your 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 is not fixable, our friendly plumbers can assist in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumbers Standing By

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

Large or small, buried in the earth or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your house are a concealed but important part of your everyday life. They bring clean water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage out.

Often, people don’t even remember their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s a major problem that must be resolved immediately before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to be on the scene right away, so ring us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have frozen and burst. In a new house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When the emergency plumber is present, they will identify the issues and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Leaks Sorted

Do you own a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s reverberating around the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it’s a major issue.

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

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new tap, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we locate what you desire.

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

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If the drip is not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie some twine around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
