FAQ After Hours Plumber

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.

A lot of 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 cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all the water to your residence.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The main shutoff valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your home from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

The pipes in your home are a normally concealed but important part of everyday activities. Large and little, in the garden, within the wall or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.

Our after hours plumbers are set to get to you right away, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and split. In a new residence, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they are at your home, our emergency plumber will identify the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other issues.

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, ruining your deams.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert same day plumbers will speedily locate the trouble and remedy it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From large to small, our Toorak after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and general plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

If the drip is not annoying enough to need repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or knot a piece of string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
