I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you wait, start mopping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important possessions from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.
Our Merricks North on call plumbers realise that a obstructed drain can be a serious health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.
A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Merricks North plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
We recommend trying to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not work, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can even cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let a blocked pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We regularly do not realise how heavily you rely upon effortless quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a wash? Want to finish up a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.
When the hot water is not hot enough, you want it working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Merricks North emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, we can schedule to do that in a timely manner as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there’s a problem.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your well-being.
The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re ready to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise yet more flooding.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. They might simply be old and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots could have forced open underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
When they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if needed to check for other problems.
Do you have a troublesome faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a significant aggravation. Something that may go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, ruining your deams.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to resolve that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
If it’s not annoying enough to be worth fixing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or tie a length of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
