I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off on the switchboard.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance quickly. Our emergency Direk plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A clogged pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We suggest trying to clear simple clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't work, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and can even cause more damage to your pipes.
Do not let a clogged pipe ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and desperately need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a few dishes to finish off? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it sorted asap so you can get back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can rapidly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as soon as possible, it will become more costly by the day.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Direk emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

Big or small, hidden under the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a unseen but key part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your house, and remove used water and sewage out.
Often, you never even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a significant issue that must be resolved urgently before your home, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers immediately. Our team are waiting to assist Direk residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the home.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and split. In a recently built house, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When our urgent plumber is present, they will identify the issues and repair them in a prompt and professional manner.
Do you own a irksome tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at night when it is resounding around the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a sigificant issue.
It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking 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 an entire replacement faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you require. All our vehicles are well equipped with parts and have a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you need.
As well as providing Direk with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or small.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of string of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
