Urgent Plumber: FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power box.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all the water to the property.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important possessions from the area, and mop up any water or place a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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

You might have been shown it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is located on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Malvern East same day plumbers realise that a blocked pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Malvern East plumbers will quickly locate the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

We endorse trying to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the clog, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Why did the pipe burst?

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

If the drip is not bad enough to need fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
