24 Hour Plumbers - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the switchboard.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps 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 stop all the water to your house.

Once that is sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to fix the leak.

While you wait, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important possessions from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!

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

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

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Merricks urgent plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing asap. That is why we provide our 24 hour plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode rapidly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

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 problem to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drain pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Problems

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is hard to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you need it to be hot again promptly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.

Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water troubles hurt your wallet, get them resolved asap.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Merricks 24 hour plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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.

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

The pipes in your house are a normally unseen but important part of your everyday life. Large and little, in the ground, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally, you do not even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s a serious issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise further damage.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a newer home, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our same day plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a defective faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a major aggravation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or maybe even cause damage to your house, contact our urgent plumber now.

Whether you require an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers can quickly identify the problem and solve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From 24 hour plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our Merricks plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we can also provide a wide range of additional plumbing services.

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

Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and dribble off quietly.
