Frequently Asked Questions - Important

FAQ: Emergency 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 still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also 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.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s 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 everything flowing again.

In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.

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. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have a pile of of dishes to deal with? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you need it to be fixed quickly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Hot water leaks can rapidly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, it will become more costly by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Richmond emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll 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 turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the old hot water cylinder is not fixable, our professional team can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Emergency Plumbers Standing By

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.

Ususally we do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved asap, to minimise damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. Our team are waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more leaking.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be old and worn out. Or they could have iced up in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots may have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can isolate the problems and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a irksome tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

We have seen all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase even further, or possibly cause damage to your house, contact our on call plumber now.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our on call plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we locate the style you want.

From large to small, our Richmond emergency plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

If it’s not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively tie a length of twine around the faucet spout long enough to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
