FAQ: After Hours Plumber

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the power box.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, clean up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The water main shutoff valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can save your residence from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our after hours Merricks North plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

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

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

Hot Water Problems

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a hot shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have a few dishes to take care of? It’s never handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Merricks North after hours plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find 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 do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

Large and small, hidden in the ground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a concealed but vital part of your everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and transfer unclean water and sewage out.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise yet more leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes might have iced up and split. They might simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean joins.

Our same day plumbers can identify and fix your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and efficiently.

Tapware Problems Sorted

Do you have a busted 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 major aggravation. A little thing that might go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your home, contact our 24 hour plumber right away.

Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you require. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you require, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find what you want.

As well as providing Merricks North with after hours plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or little.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
