Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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 water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to get things sorted.

While you are waiting, remove any important possessions from the area, and clean up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

After Hours Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help fast. Our after hours Oakleigh plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the ensuite sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our urgent Oakleigh plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

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.

Do not let clogged pipes ruin your day. Call our urgent Oakleigh emergency plumbing team right away!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It is awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it fixed as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted speedily, it will become more costly by the hour.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Oakleigh after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our reliable team can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your home are a largely hidden but key part of daily activities. Big and small, in the earth, within the walls or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Usually, we do not even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a serious problem that needs to be fixed immediately before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you live in an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground seals may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if required to look for other damage.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Tapware Issues Resolved

Do you live with a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a sigificant problem.

It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, 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 want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our urgent plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the faucet you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find the style you need.

From large to small, our Oakleigh after hours plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and general plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and trickle off quietly.
