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 leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.

While waiting, clear away any important possessions 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, 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, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Thorngate after hours plumbers realise that a clogged drain can be a serious health risk that needs fixing immediately. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Thorngate plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.

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.

Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our after hours Thorngate emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Problems

You usually do not realise how frequently we rely upon easy quick hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Time to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be hot again speedily. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Thorngate urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find 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 your cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our helpful team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is past it’s use by date and deteriorating, we can arrange for repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Resolved Quick

The pipes in your home are a generally unseen but indispensible part of your everyday life. Big and little, under the ground, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally, we don’t even remember them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major issue that must be resolved urgently before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are ready to take your call night or day. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more damage.

Why did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a recently built house, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean seals may 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 locate the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other problems.

We Have You Covered

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a troublesome tap? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain broken?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a major irritation. A little thing that may go unheard in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, ruining your shuteye.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Do not let the bills increase even higher, or possibly cause damage to your house, ring our after hours plumber now.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you need, we can put in a temporary tap until we track down what you want.

From large to small, our Thorngate urgent plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Or tie a length of string around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
