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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to cut off all the water to your house.

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

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and clear away valuable possessions from the 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

A clogged pipe 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’t, you need help fast. 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 the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode rapidly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

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.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got a pile of dishes to take care of? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.

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

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our The Basin emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Big and small, hidden underground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but key part of everyday life. They carry clean water to your abode, and take used water and sewage out.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you quickly. We are ready to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise yet more damage.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have forced open underground joints. Or there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if required to look for other issues.

All Taps Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

We have been called to an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential niggle, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills increase even more, or possibly cause damage to your home, contact our after hours plumber straight away.

Whether you need an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers will rapidly find the cause and remedy it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From big to small, our The Basin emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
