FAQ 24 Hour Plumber

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all the water to your property.

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

While you wait, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and remove valuable things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Gembrook on call plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we provide our 24 hour plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can be a major health hazard, 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 be there quickly to get the pipes cleared.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Gembrook plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

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

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a long cold day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a good wash up when the water is cold.

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

Hot water leaks can rapidly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as fast as possible, the cost will become more costly by the day.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Gembrook 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your home are a normally unseen but vital part of everyday activities. Large or little, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it fixed asap to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more leaking.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a very cold region, the pipes may have frozen and burst. They may simply be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open underground seals.

When they are at your home, our emergency plumber will locate the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if needed to check for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

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

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a significant aggravation. A little thing that might go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, disturbing your deams.

It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down 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 want a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert urgent plumbers can quickly diagnose the cause and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Gembrook 24 hour plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.

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

If it is not annoying enough to need repairing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Or tie a length of string around the tap spout long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
