Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency Plumber FAQ

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 there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch drips, and remove important items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, 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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We realise a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes cleared.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day The Basin plumbers will quickly locate the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

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.

Do not let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be sorted fast. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Basin emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll 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 the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Emergency Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

From the small clean water pipes in the walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there’s an issue.

Normally we barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out immediately, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might start to leak. If you live in a cold location, the pipes might have iced up and burst. They could simply be aged and past their use-by. They might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into subterranean joins.

Our same day plumbers can diagnose and fix your broken pipes or leaks rapidly and expertly.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. A little thing that can go unheard in the brouhaha of every day life without warning sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your sleep.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, we can install an interim tap until we track down the style you need.

As well as serving The Basin with emergency plumbing of all types, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or minor.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and trickle off quietly.
