FAQ After Hours Plumbers

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.

Many 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 locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating valve to cut off all the water to the residence.

Once that’s done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to fix the leak.

In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away significant things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

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 as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our after hours Richmond plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging clogged drains can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Obestructed drains can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Richmond plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

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!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

Had a hard day at work and badly need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a pile of dishes to take care of? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it repaired asap so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in your 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 about thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Richmond after hours plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount 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 most suitable option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is tired and worn out, we can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

From the little fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is an issue.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it resolved without delay to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our after hours plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further flooding.

How did the pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you reside in a cold location, they may have frozen and burst. They could just be aged and worn out. The pipes may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into subterranean seals.

Our on call plumbers can diagnose and repair the broken pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is reverberating throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a serious issue.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, 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.

Whether you want an entire replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers will efficiently diagnose the trouble and fix it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Richmond with after hours plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or small.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of string 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 trickle off quietly.
