Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

On Call Plumber: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to solve the problem.

While you wait, start wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our The Basin after hours plumbers understand that a obstructed drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to right away. That’s why we offer our on call plumbing service.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a obstructed pipe send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Leaks

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. Our team will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our The Basin on call plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 your cylinder isn’t repairable, our professional team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Big and small, buried under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but indispensible part of everyday activities. They bring clean water to your home, and remove unclean water and sewage out.

Often, people never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s a major problem that needs to be sorted out urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road rapidly. 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 home to reduce further flooding.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you live in a cold climate, they may have frozen and cracked. They may just be old and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots can force open underground junctions.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Problems Solved

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call us now.

Whether you need an entire new tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers will rapidly locate the problem and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From on call plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our The Basin plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, the team also provide a broad selection of other plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie a length of string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
