Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
What should you do when you discover a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the switchboard. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there promptly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important things, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally located on the boundary near the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your property from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want help fast. Our urgent Northgate plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
We suggest trying to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can even cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We regularly don’t realise how heavily you rely on easy fast hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Time to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s lukewarm.
When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a ring. We will be there quickly to figure out the problem and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can rapidly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired as soon as possible, it will become more costly by the hour.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Northgate urgent plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our plumbers can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your home are a generally concealed but significant part of everyday life. Big and small, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your belongings and even your health.
When you find a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers asap. We are waiting to help Northgate residents right now. Whilst waiting for our plumber to arrive, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.
Why did the pipe fail?
Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for many reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and split. In a newer residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will identify the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to check for other problems.
Do you live with a irksome tap? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?
Many customers over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is reverberating throughout the house like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.
It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new faucet, our after hours plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have what you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we locate the style you need.
As well as serving Northgate with urgent plumbing of all types, we are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or too small.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
If the drip is not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or tie a piece of string around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
