When a leak starts spouting, or a drain is blocked, or even the hot water simply isn’t, the last thing you want is to have to wait for a plumber to arrive. In an urgent plumbing situation, often the longer you wait, the worse things get.
Plumbing disasters are not pre-booked or convenient. There are a lot of ways that a plumbing emergency can cause havoc, and that’s why we strive to be there as quickly as possible, even if it’s after hours or a public holiday.
Our Sandringham urgent plumbers are waiting for you to ring. We’re ready to solve your problems so you can go back to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service means you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing assistance, any day of the year.
Our highly trained plumbers have the knowledge, equipment and parts to repair plumbing issues of all types quickly and economically. We have been looking after clients in the Sandringham area for years, and our loyal customers keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and tidy job.
As well as urgent plumbing, we also do every day plumbing. If you’ve got a non-urgent plumbing job, call or email our office and we’ll make sure it gets sorted. Our friendly reliable team are ready and waiting to serve you.
What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the breaker box.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to save the day.
While waiting, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
The main shutoff valve is found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your house from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a clogged drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.
A clogged pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Sandringham plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the pipes.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Call our same day Sandringham emergency plumbing team right away!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to finish up? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water is not up to standard, you want it sorted fast. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it fixed.
Hot water leaks can quickly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as soon as possible, the cost can become more costly by the hour.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Sandringham urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot 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 new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
Big and small, buried in the ground or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your abode, and take used water and sewage away.
Usually, people do not even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a significant problem that needs to be sorted out urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to assist Sandringham residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older home, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and split. In a recently built home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will diagnose the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other issues.
Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
We’ve been called to a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills rise higher, or maybe even cause damage to your home, contact our after hours plumber straight away.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to halt your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.
From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Sandringham plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, the team also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of string around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
