What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to stop all the water to your home.
Once that is sorted, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important items, wipe up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The primary isolating valve is generally on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Balaclava 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That’s why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
Clogged pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.
Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour Balaclava plumbers will quickly identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Got some of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a proper wash up when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again fast so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Balaclava urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
From the little clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there is a problem.
Normally, we barely even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a serious issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further flooding.
Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a recently built house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When our emergency plumber is present, they can locate the problems and repair them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply busted?
We’ve been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant irritant, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you want an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers will quickly find the cause and resolve it. We 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 large to small, our Balaclava urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If the drip is not bad enough to need repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or tie some string around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
