After Hours Plumbers: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing calamity strikes?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off at the breaker box.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove significant items from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Gardenvale urgent plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we provide our after hours plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains cleared.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode quickly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock the clog yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay 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 clogged drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

How did my pipe burst?

Once our emergency plumber arrives, they will identify the issues and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

We have seen an assortment of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you need, we can put in an interim tap until we track down the style you need.

From after hours plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Gardenvale plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can frequently replace worn out parts right then and there for a very reasonable expenditure.
