Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Emergency 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.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff valve to cut off all water to your house.

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

In the meantime, start mopping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and remove important things 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.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you need help right now. Our emergency Cockle Bay plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked pipes can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours Cockle Bay plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed 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 ruin your day. Call us now!

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Leaks

You generally do not think about how much you depend on easy quick hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished in the garden and really want a shower? Time to finish up some dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

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

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Cockle Bay emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and deteriorating, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your residence are a generally unseen but vital part of your daily activities. Large or little, in the garden, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and well-being.

As soon as you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers asap. Our team are waiting to assist Cockle Bay residents right away. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the home.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When they arrive, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other issues.

All Taps Covered

Tap Leaks Resolved

Do you live with a annoying tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just broken?

We’ve seen all sorts of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant annoyance, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new tap, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vehicles are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we don’t have what you require, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we locate what you desire.

As well as serving Cockle Bay with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or little.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively knot a piece of string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
