Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

After Hours 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all water to your property.

Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While you wait, begin wiping up any water, put a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the house 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 is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a obstructed pipe can be a major problem. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or 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.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and get back 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.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

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

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

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very swiftly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Cockle Bay after hours plumbers right away. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can organise repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

Large and small, hidden underground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your house are a unseen but significant part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your abode, and remove dirty water and sewage away.

Normally you never even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired asap, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our after hours plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to assist Cockle Bay residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and cracked. In a new home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our urgent plumber arrives, they can locate the issues and fix them in a quick and expert manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply broken?

Many clients over the years have told us how irritating it is to live with a dripping or defective tap. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it’s echoing around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you want, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we find what you need.

From after hours plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or minor for our Cockle Bay plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.

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

Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts right then and there for a very reasonable cost.
