Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumbers 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 still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, remove any important items, mop up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You also should switch 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.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Issues

We know a blocked drain can be a major emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home rapidly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.

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 blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Karaka emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

Had a hard day at work and badly require a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a pile of dishes to deal with? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is cold.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it repaired as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Karaka urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can help in picking the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

Big and small, hidden in the earth or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your house are a unseen but integral part of everyday life. They bring clean water to your residence, and take used water and sewage away.

Often, we do not even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a major problem that needs to be sorted out urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

As soon as you find a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist Karaka residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.

How did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have grown into underground connections. Or there could be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other problems.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Problems Resolved

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

We’ve been called to a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor aggravation, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

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

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers can speedily identify the issue and fix it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Karaka plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, the team also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
