Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours Plumber - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

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

If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove important items from the area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Merricks 24 hour plumbers know that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing asap. That is why we have our after hours plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

With our well equipped vans, 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 get you through until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

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

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a newer house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground junctions might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When the 24 hour plumber is present, they can locate the problems and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.

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

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
