FAQ - Emergency Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be there as soon as possible to save the day.

While you are waiting, remove any significant things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is generally found on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your home from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Solved

We know a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day St Peters plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until we return.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We recommend attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not work, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can cause more damage to the pipes.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water System Leaks

Had a hard day at work and badly need a refreshing shower? Time to put the children in the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It’s never handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is tepid.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it repaired asap so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted promptly, it will become more expensive by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our St Peters emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s a problem.

Ususally we never even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly you’re looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, furnishings and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to be on the scene right away, so call our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have frozen and ruptured. In a new house, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and repair your damaged pipes or leaks rapidly and cleanly.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a busted tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

Many customers over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at night when it is reverberating throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to remedy your leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as serving St Peters with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or too small.

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

Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
