Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

Urgent 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 the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to get things sorted.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

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 behind the toilet bowl.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Somerville plumbers will quickly identify the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we 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 drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a wintery day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it repaired asap so your life can get back to normal.

Did you know around 30% of the average home electricity bill is used on hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a considerable amount of damage to your residence and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes empty your wallet, get them resolved promptly.

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

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.

Normally you do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired immediately, to minimise damage to your home, belongings and well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and cracked. In a new residence, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground joins could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our 24 hour plumber is present, they will locate the issues and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a problem tap? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious annoyance. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, destroying your shuteye.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Somerville plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, we also provide a wide selection of additional plumbing services.

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

If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively knot some string around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
