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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service 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 tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to stop all water to your residence.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, clean up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our urgent Cockle Bay plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A clogged pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary 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 obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours Cockle Bay emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it fixed asap so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired fast, it will become more expensive by the hour.

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 your old hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our professional team can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can arrange improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

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

Ususally we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your house, furnishings and health.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent further damage.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and burst. In a recently built home, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if required to check for other damage.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a problem faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how aggravating it is to have a dripping or defective tap. You might not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a major problem.

It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to stop your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Cockle Bay plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, we also offer a wide range of additional plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Alternatively tie a piece of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
