Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

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 water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.

While waiting, clear away any important items from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

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 Hassles

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help straight away. Our urgent The Basin plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our on call The Basin plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until we 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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Burst Pipes Fixed Quick

From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there’s an issue.

Often, you never even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a significant issue that needs to be resolved urgently before your home, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so ring us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be old and worn out. Or they could have iced up in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have invaded underground pipes. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up in the first place.

Once they arrive, our on call plumber will diagnose the issue and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other problems.

Taps Not Working?

Do you own a troublesome tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how irritating it is to live with a dripping or defective tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major problem.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, give us a ring.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you want, we can install an interim faucet until we locate the style you want.

From large to small, our The Basin urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very reasonable outlay.
