FAQ - On Call Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the power panel.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While you wait, start mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove important items from the area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary shutoff valve is usually positioned on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your property from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Currum Downs 24 hour plumbers realise that a blocked pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing right away. That’s why we offer our on call plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home quickly to resolve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear a clog yourself. We suggest 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 rarely do a good job and can damage the pipes.

Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our emergency Currum Downs emergency plumbers right away!

Hot Water Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.

When the hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We’ll be there quickly to figure out the issue and fix it. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Did you know around thiry percent of the average home power bill goes to hot water heating? A leak can suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water troubles harm your wallet, get them fixed asap.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Currum Downs on call plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even think of them until there is an issue.

Normally, we do not even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a significant problem that needs to be sorted urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our on call plumbers are set to be on the scene right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe burst?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a cold location, the pipes might have frozen and split. They may just be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may grow into subterranean junctions.

Our urgent plumbers can identify and repair the broken pipes or leaks rapidly and efficiently.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a annoying tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. A little thing that may go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, ruining your deams.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All the vans are well stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you require, we can put in a temporary tap until we find what you desire.

As well as providing Currum Downs with on call plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or too small.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot a length of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
