When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the very last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked let alone convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can ruin everything, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even when it’s after hours or a public holiday.
Our Merricks on call plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re prepared to resolve your problems so you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures that you don’t have to wait, so just give us a call for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge, equipment and components to repair plumbing issues of all types quickly and economically. We have been looking after clients in the Merricks area for years, and our loyal clients keep coming back because they know we will do an efficient and tidy job.
As well as on call plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off on the power box.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, start mopping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away significant possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary isolating valve is normally on the edge of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a blocked drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of on call plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our urgent Merricks plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.
We endorse trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t 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 correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Got some of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it sorted asap. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.
Hot water leaks can quickly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed fast, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Merricks on call plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot 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 is not repairable, our reliable team can help pick the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and worn out, our plumbers can organise improvements at a time that works for you as well.
The pipes in your home are a normally concealed but important part of your everyday activities. Big or small, under the ground, within the walls or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your home, your possessions and even your well-being.
The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are waiting to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a cold location, the pipes might have iced up and burst. They could simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots can invade underground seals.
Our emergency plumbers will identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks speedily and professionally.
Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, destroying your sleep.
Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise higher, or maybe even cause damage to your residence, contact our 24 hour plumber now.
Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole new tap, our urgent plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you require, we can install an interim faucet until we find the style you desire.
From large to small, our Merricks on call plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and tie it around the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
