Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ - After Hours Plumber

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 the water off at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, 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.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We realise a obstructed drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

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

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

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 a clogged drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Leaks

Had a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it repaired fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very rapidly.

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

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system requires improvements, we can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

Large and small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your home are a concealed but vital part of everyday life. They carry clean water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage out.

Ususally you never even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your house, furnishings and well-being.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce further damage.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you live in a cold region, the pipes might have iced up and burst. They could just be old and dilapidated. They may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.

When they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the issue and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a troublesome tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?

Many our clientelle over the years have told us how irritating it can be to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is resounding around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a serious problem.

It’s not only annoying drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 have everything they might need in the vans to stop that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Somerville with after hours plumbing of all types, our team are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or little.

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

Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
