What should you do when you find a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
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 shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the issue.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The primary shutoff valve is generally found on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your residence from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We understand a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That is why our crew of on call plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.
A blocked pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your abode speedily to solve the issue. 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 removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we come back.
If you've got a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the pipes.
Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Cockatoo emergency plumbers right away!
Had a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a pile of dishes to deal with? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted asap so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Cockatoo on call plumbers right away. We’ll get your 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 your cylinder is not repairable, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that works for you as well.
The pipes in your home are a generally hidden but key part of your daily activities. Large or little, under the ground, within the walls or the roof, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Often, we barely even remember their existence unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a significant problem that must be resolved urgently before the building, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our on call plumbers will be with you quickly. Our team are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent yet more leaking.
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. They might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in extremely wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots may have grown into subterranean seals. Or there could be an issue with how they were installed to begin with.
Once they are at your home, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if required to check for other issues.
Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is reverberating around the house like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.
It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All our vans are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we locate the style you want.
As well as serving Cockatoo with on call plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or too small.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?
If it’s not bad enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot a length of string around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
Our Team has been looking after the people of Cockatoo for many years now. Our clients know us as speedy, professional plumbers who get the job done right first time, at a reasonable price. We are the friendly faces you want to see when there is a plumbing catastrophe.
