I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the switchboard.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves 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 shutoff valve to stop all the water to the home.
Once that’s done, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant items from the area, and mop up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The water main shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of 24 hour plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unblocked.
Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our same day Thorngate plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare case that we can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers come back.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our emergency Thorngate emergency plumbers right away!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It is seldom opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is cold.
When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We’ll be there promptly to identify the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to unreliable thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very rapidly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Thorngate 24 hour plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder is not fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your residence are a largely hidden but important part of everyday life. Large and small, in the garden, within the wall or the ceiling, they bring fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Most of the time we barely even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you’re looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed immediately, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and health.
Our 24 hour plumbers are set to get to you right away, so contact us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a very cold location, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They might simply be old and dilapidated. They might not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground joins.
When the on call plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.

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