FAQ: After Hours Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the electricity off at the breaker box if needed first.

Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a 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 shutoff valve to stop all the water to the property.

Once that’s done, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

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

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You might know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Eastern Melbourne 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health hazard that needs fixing asap. That’s why we provide our after hours plumbing service.

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

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your abode quickly to resolve the problem. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you’ve got a plunger, it’s worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We recommend 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 cause damage to the drains.

Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Eastern Melbourne emergency plumbing team now!

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a freezing day? Got some of dishes to take care of? It’s hard to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be remedied as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can rapidly identify the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Eastern Melbourne after hours plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t fixable, our reliable team can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and worn out, we can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

The pipes in your residence are a generally concealed but very important part of daily life. Large or small, in the garden, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a call, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are waiting to take your call night or day. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.

How did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can fail for many reasons. They may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and cracked. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean pipes. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.

Once the emergency plumber arrives, they will identify the issues and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a busted faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

We have seen a range of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a major 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. Do not let the bills increase even more, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our on call plumber straight away.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement faucet, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have what you need, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find the style you desire.

As well as serving Eastern Melbourne with after hours plumbing of all kinds, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or small.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
