After Hours Plumber - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that’s done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant things 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!

The primary isolating valve will normally be on the border of your property near the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

A blocked pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

How did my pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you reside in a cold location, the pipes may have frozen and ruptured. They could simply be old and worn out. The pipes may not have been installed properly in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean pipes.

Our on call plumbers will diagnose and fix the burst pipes or leaks quickly and expertly.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a defective tap? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a major issue.

It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Springvale with after hours plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or small.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
