Urgent Plumber FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the power panel.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all water to your home.

Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items close to the leak, and clean 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! How do I turn off the water!

The main isolating valve is normally on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our urgent Patterson Lakes plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

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

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

Can I unclog the drain myself?

We endorse trying to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our after hours Patterson Lakes emergency plumbers right away!

Hot Water Tank Issues

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a good wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be hot again promptly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very quickly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Patterson Lakes urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and location. If your whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do that in a timely manner as well.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a new house, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers will diagnose and repair the broken pipes or leaks quickly and cleanly.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a annoying tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

We’ve seen an assortment of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial annoyance, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or possibly cause damage to your home, contact our on call plumber right away.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we find the style you desire.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Patterson Lakes plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, we can also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and trickle off quietly.
