FAQ: Emergency Plumber

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to stop all the water to your residence.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While you are waiting, remove any significant things from the area, and clean up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary isolating valve is normally on the boundary of the property near the road. It is typically set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home speedily to resolve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare case that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until we return.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We recommend trying to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our same day Rye emergency plumbing team right away!

Hot Water Issues

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to deal with? It’s hard to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it sorted as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very rapidly.

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

If the cylinder is not repairable, our friendly team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

The pipes in your house are a largely unseen but key part of everyday life. Large and little, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally, we never even think about their existence until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major problem that needs to be sorted immediately before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our emergency plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe fail?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you reside in a cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and cracked. They might simply be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may invade subterranean seals.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will locate the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to check for other issues.

Tapware Leaks Sorted

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

We have seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial aggravation, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new tap, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we find the style you want.

From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Rye plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, the team also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and dribble off quietly.
