What do I do when a plumbing calamity hits?
What should you do when you find a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you shortly to fix the leak.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove important things from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
The water main shutoff valve is found on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
Our Highgate on call plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to right away. That’s why we offer our 24 hour plumbing service.
A obstructed drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your abode rapidly to solve the problem. Our highly trained 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 usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
You generally do not think about how much you count upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Time to finish off a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted quickly so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Highgate 24 hour plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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 isn’t able to be overhauled, our helpful team can assist in picking the best solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.
From the little fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there’s an issue.
Normally, people do not even recall them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a serious issue that must be resolved immediately before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re waiting to take your call any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce yet more damage.
How did my pipe fail?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you reside in a cold climate, they may have frozen and burst. They could simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may invade subterranean seals.
When they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other issues.
Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether defective?
Many clients over the years have told us how annoying it can be to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a major issue.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our urgent plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we don’t have what you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you desire.
From 24 hour plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Highgate plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and dribble off quietly.
Our company has been looking after the Highgate area for many years, and our reputation for high quality work at a reasonable price sees our past customers coming back to us again and again. Our goal is to assist you with all your plumbing needs, regardless of what, where or when.
