FAQ 24 Hour Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to the property.

Once that is done, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove valuable items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Obestructed pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to get you through until we come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Issues

We generally don’t realise how much we rely upon easy fast hot water until it isn’t available any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Want to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We will be there quickly to figure out the problem and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, we 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 house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Baxter 24 hour plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, we can arrange to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and worn out. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have invaded underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

When they arrive, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to check for other problems.

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

Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and flow off quietly.
