What do I do when a plumbing calamity strikes?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We will be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
In the meantime, start wiping up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and clear away significant possessions from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can save your residence from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your drains are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our 24 hour Thorngate plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Blocked drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes cleared.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Thorngate plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger you can attempt 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 damage the drains.
Don’t let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our after hours Thorngate emergency plumbers right away!
