What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off on the switchboard.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to stop all water to your house.
Once that’s done, give our team a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to fix the leak.
While you are waiting, remove any significant items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is positioned on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Merricks emergency plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing asap. That’s why we provide our 24 hour plumbing service.
A clogged pipe is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our emergency Merricks plumbers will quickly identify the problem and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers come back.
If you have a plunger you can attempt to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can damage the pipes.

Do you own a troublesome faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?
Many customers over the years have told us how frustrating it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.
As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even more, or maybe even cause damage to your house, contact our after hours plumber right away.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
