I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the switchboard if needed first.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be there quickly to resolve the problem.
In the meantime, begin wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your house from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We recommend attempting to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may even cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Dorset Vale emergency plumbers right away!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a few dishes to finish off? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it fixed asap so you can get back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can rapidly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired asap, the cost will become more costly by the day.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Dorset Vale emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder isn’t fixable, our professional plumbers can help pick the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.
Large and little, hidden in the ground or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your house are a concealed but important part of everyday life. They bring fresh water to your home, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.
Normally, you barely even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a serious problem that must be sorted immediately before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to prevent yet more flooding.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have iced up and ruptured. In a new home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the on call plumber arrives, they can identify the issues and fix them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you live with a problematic tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. A little thing that can go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, disturbing your deams.
Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to stop that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.
From large to small, our Dorset Vale emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of urgent and day to day plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of string of some type, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and dribble off quietly.
