Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to save the day.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, put a bucket to catch drips, and remove important things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main isolating valve is normally on the edge of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Balaclava urgent plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to asap. That is why we have our on call plumbing service.
Obestructed pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your drain pipes.
Do not let a clogged drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Got a pile of of dishes to deal with? It’s a pain to have a good clean when the water is not hot.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it working again quickly so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Balaclava on call plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but integral part of your daily activities. Big or little, in the ground, in the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to you and take the used stuff away.
As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further flooding.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
There are many reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you live in a cold location, they may have iced up and split. They could just be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean seals.
Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will identify the problem and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if required to look for other damage.
Do you have a broken faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is echoing throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a major problem.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.
Whether you want a whole new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers will quickly locate the cause and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.
From on call plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or small for our Balaclava plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, we can also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the noise. Or knot a length of string around the faucet spout long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
We have been assisting the residents of Balaclava for many years now. Our clients know us as speedy, expert plumbers who do the job right first time, at a reasonable price. We are the friendly faces you want to see when you have a plumbing catastrophe.
