Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent 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.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to cut off all water to the home.

Once that’s sorted, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait, begin wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove important possessions from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then 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’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our urgent Richmond plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

Obestructed drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Richmond plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. 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 a clogged drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It’s difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it repaired fast so you can get back to normal life.

Did you know about thiry percent of your home electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored nearby. Don’t let hot water disasters hurt your pocket, get them repaired as soon as possible.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Richmond urgent plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, we can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Big and little, hidden under the ground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but vital part of daily life. They carry clean water to your house, and transfer used water and sewage away.

Usually, you barely even think about their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a significant problem that needs to be sorted out immediately before your house, your belongings or even your health are damaged or ruined.

When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers right away. We are waiting to assist Richmond residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

How did my pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may burst. If you reside in a cold location, they may have iced up and cracked. They could just be aged and dilapidated. They may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may grow into subterranean pipes.

Once the after hours plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.

All Taps Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a troublesome faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain broken?

We’ve seen an assortment of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, get hold of our after hours plumber now.

Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist after hours plumbers will efficiently diagnose the issue and resolve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving Richmond with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.

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

If it’s not annoying enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or knot some twine around the faucet spout long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
