What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating valve to stop all the water to the property.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any important items, wipe up any water, and position a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary isolating valve will be on the border of the property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
Our Urrbrae emergency plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to right away. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
Obestructed pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink will not drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are concluded.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
We suggest trying to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the clog, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can cause more damage to the drains.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Urrbrae emergency plumbing team right away!
We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a wintery day? Got a few of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a proper clean when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water is not up to standard, you want it sorted quickly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very rapidly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Urrbrae urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there’s a problem.
As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it repaired asap to prevent damage to your house, your furnishings and even your health.
Our urgent plumbers are set to be on the scene right away, so contact our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did the pipe fail?
There are various reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you live in a extremely cold region, they may have frozen and split. They might just be old and past their use-by. They may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.
When they arrive, our after hours plumber will identify the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if required to look for other issues.
Do you have a defective faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
We have been called to all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor niggle, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.
It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is 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.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to resolve your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From big to small, our Urrbrae urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of tap, we can frequently replace worn out parts on the spot for a very reasonable price.
We have been assisting the people of Urrbrae for many years now. Our customers know us as efficient, professional plumbers who get the job done right first time, at an affordable price. We are the friendly faces you want to see when there is a plumbing catastrophe.
