Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

FAQ - After Hours Plumbers

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.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all the water to the property.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items from the area, and mop up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
