Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

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 there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to find a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, mop up any water, and place a bucket to catch 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 valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help straight away. Our emergency The Basin plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our after hours The Basin plumbers will quickly identify the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare 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 blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours The Basin emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Have some of dishes to deal with? It’s difficult to have a proper clean up when the water is not hot.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again fast so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as fast as possible, it will become more expensive by the hour.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our The Basin emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. 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 your existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can help in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

The pipes in your residence are a generally hidden but key part of your daily activities. Large or little, subterranean, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further flooding.

How did my pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you live in a very cold climate, the pipes may have frozen and cracked. They could just be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can force open subterranean seals.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if needed to check for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a problematic tap? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

We have been called to all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.

Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers will speedily locate the cause and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing The Basin with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or minor.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and flow off quietly.
