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 there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the issue.

While you wait, start wiping up any water, position a bucket 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.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you need help right now. Our emergency Forest Hill plumbers know how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Blocked pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.

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 clogged pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It’s difficult to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it working again fast so you can get back to normal life.

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

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Forest Hill emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again promptly. If you find 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 is not able to be fixed, our professional team can assist in picking the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is old and worn out, we can arrange for improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there is an issue.

Ususally you never even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved without delay, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and health.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to help Forest Hill residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in very cold weather and split. Tree roots may have invaded underground seals. Or there could be a problem with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and fix your damaged pipes or leaks quickly and expertly.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Taps Not Working?

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

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant vexation. Something that can go unheard in the hurly burly of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, destroying your shuteye.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All our 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 do not have what you want, we can install a temporary tap until we track down the style you desire.

From emergency plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or small for our Forest Hill plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team can also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, 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 tap spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
