Frequently Asked Questions - Start Here

After Hours Plumbers: 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 water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

While waiting, remove any significant possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you need help as soon as possible. Our after hours Whitford plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back 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 Leaks

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Need a good soak to defrost following a chilly day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It is awkward to have a proper wash when the water is not hot.

If the hot water is not hot enough, you need it to be hot again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Whitford after hours plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and location. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You never even think of them until there is an issue.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your well-being.

Our after hours plumbers are ready to be on the scene right away, so contact our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean connections. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

When they arrive, our emergency plumber will locate the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if needed to look for other damage.

We Have You Covered

Tap Issues Solved

Do you own a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how irritating it is to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it’s reverberating around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it’s a serious issue.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert emergency plumbers can efficiently locate the issue and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

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

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

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and flow off quietly.
