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.

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

Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the issue.

In the meantime, start wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove important things from the area. If the property 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’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Wattle Downs 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs attending to as soon as possible. That is why we offer our after hours plumbing service.

Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home speedily to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

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. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Issues

We often do not realise how frequently we rely upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really need a wash? Want to take care of a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the 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 boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Wattle Downs after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but important part of daily life. Large or small, in the ground, in the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it resolved without delay to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our after hours plumbers will be on the road rapidly. Our team are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more flooding.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older house, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a recently built home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground junctions might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other problems.

All Taps Covered

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a problematic tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how aggravating it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at night when it is reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a serious problem.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a small selection of new taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the tap you want, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we find what you need.

As well as providing Wattle Downs with after hours plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too big or little.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or knot some twine around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
