Frequently Asked Questions - Important

Emergency Plumber: 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 still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.

While you are waiting, remove any significant things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water 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.

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your drains are overflowing, you need help asap. Our emergency Blackburn plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A obstructed drain is a serious problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Blackburn plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

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 obstructed pipes ruin your day. Call our after hours Blackburn emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put grubby kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a proper wash when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it fixed speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all 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 residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Blackburn emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best option for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

The pipes in your house are a largely concealed but key part of everyday activities. Big and small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Ususally you don’t even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and health.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help Blackburn residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and burst. In a new home, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Underground pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will locate the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other issues.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

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

A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how frustrating it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a serious issue.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you want, we can install a temporary faucet until we track down the style you want.

As well as serving Blackburn with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or minor.

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

If the drip is not annoying enough to need repairing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie a piece of string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
