Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

Urgent 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 there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate a water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the 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.

It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We understand a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that is not 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 problem. Whether it’s a item 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 things flowing again.

In the rare case that we can not get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find an interim solution to keep you going 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 blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

Had a hard day at work and desperately want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It’s seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it hot again as fast as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as fast as possible, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our The Basin urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there is an issue.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired without delay to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.

As soon as a leak is discovered, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older residence, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and cracked. In a new house, there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground pipes could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our same day plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if required to look for other problems.

All Tapware Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a problematic faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain broken?

A lot of clients over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a major issue.

It is not just irritating drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, we can put in an interim faucet until we find the style you want.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our The Basin plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team can also offer a wide range of additional plumbing services.

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

If it is not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Alternatively tie some string around the tap aerator long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
