FAQ Emergency Plumber

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.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.

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

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.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance fast. Our emergency Merricks plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Merricks plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

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. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

Had a hard day at work and desperately need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to take care of? It’s never opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you want it to be fixed speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very quickly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Merricks emergency plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is 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 need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Why did my pipe burst?

In a new home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers can identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and cleanly.
