What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the electricity off on the switchboard.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your home.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the issue.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The primary shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can protect your residence from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
We know a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
A obstructed pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it with a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it is the laundry sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our urgent Portsea plumbers will quickly identify the problem and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
We suggest trying to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can even cause more damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it remedied 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 large amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very rapidly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Portsea emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.
Big or small, buried in the earth or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of daily life. They carry clean water to your house, and take used water and sewage out.
Usually, you don’t even remember them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a serious issue that must be resolved urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. Our team are waiting to take your call night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise yet more damage.
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a new residence, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once our on call plumber arrives, they can isolate the problems and fix them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you own a defective tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant vexation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, ruining your sleep.
It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to fix that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our Portsea emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can often replace worn out parts immediately for a very acceptable cost.
