Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Emergency 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all water to the residence.

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait, begin cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove valuable possessions from the affected 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Merricks 24 hour plumbers realise that a blocked pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we have our emergency plumbing service.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it’s a toy 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 on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

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 ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have a few dishes to finish up? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Hot water leaks can swiftly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, the cost will become more expensive by the day.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Merricks emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can help pick the best solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

From the small fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s an issue.

Often, people do not even think about their existence unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a major problem that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. We are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further damage.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you reside in a very cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and cracked. They might just be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean connections.

Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will locate the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to check for other damage.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you own a problem tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve been called to all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down 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 need a whole new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert 24 hour plumbers can quickly diagnose the cause and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Merricks plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
