Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumbers - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.

While waiting, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Pooraka after hours plumbers realise that a clogged pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to right away. That is why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether it’s a toy 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.

In the rare case that our plumbers can not get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.

Don’t let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning properly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a few of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a good clean up when the water is cold.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it remedied quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Pooraka urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If your whole system is old and deteriorating, we can schedule improvements at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your home are a largely concealed but vital part of daily life. Big or small, subterranean, within the wall or the roof, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, you never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is a serious issue that must be resolved urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further damage.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of 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 cracked. In a new residence, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean connections might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our after hours plumber arrives, they can locate the problems and repair them in a speedy and professional manner.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how irritating it is to live with a dripping or busted faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is resounding around your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it is a serious problem.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Do not let the bills rise higher, or possibly cause damage to your home, call our after hours plumber straight away.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our professional after hours plumbers will rapidly diagnose the issue and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Pooraka with urgent plumbing of all types, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or minor.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
