When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply is not, the last thing you need is to need to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, frequently the longer you wait, the worse things get.

What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the power at the switchboard. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all water to the residence.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the issue.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main shutoff valve is found on the property perimeter near the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your home from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance fast. Our on call Somerville plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our 24 hour Somerville plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage the pipes.
Do not let a clogged drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and badly need a hot shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have a pile of dishes to deal with? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it hot again quickly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.
Hot water leaks can rapidly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as soon as possible, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Somerville on call plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, our plumbers can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but indispensible part of your everyday activities. Large and little, in the ground, in the walls or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Normally, people barely even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a significant issue that needs to be resolved urgently before your house, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our on call plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to help Somerville residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could help to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a recently built house, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Underground connections may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our urgent plumbers will diagnose and fix the burst pipes or leaks promptly and professionally.
Do you own a problem tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to have a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it’s resounding throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our emergency plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have what you need, our plumber can install a temporary tap until we locate what you desire.
From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Somerville plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
