Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
What do you do when a plumbing emergency strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the electricity off at the power box.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water isolating tap to stop all the water to the house.
Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.
While you wait, start wiping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important things from the area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The primary shutoff valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, normally 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 residence from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
We know a obstructed pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes unclogged.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it is 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 once more.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
Had a hard day at work and badly want a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have a pile of dishes to take care of? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it working again fast so your life can get back to normal.
Did you know about thiry percent of your home electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water troubles harm your pocket, get them repaired as fast as possible.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our West Richmond urgent plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly.

The pipes in your house are a normally concealed but indispensible part of everyday activities. Large or small, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.
As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers right away. We are waiting to assist West Richmond residents right now. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the property.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely wintery weather and cracked. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean joints. Or there may be an issue with how they were installed to begin with.
Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.
Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it is to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is echoing throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major issue.
It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small 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 halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
As well as serving West Richmond with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or little.
The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
If it is not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot some string around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
We have been servicing the residents of West Richmond for many years now. Our customers know us as prompt, expert plumbers who do the job right first time, at an affordable price. We’re the friendly faces you want to see when you have a plumbing emergency.
When you find a plumbing emergency, our team are ready and waiting to save your bacon. We will be there rapidly to do professional repairs rapidly and proficiently, and leave the area tidy and clean before we leave.
Over the years we have seen it all. You name it, we have been up to our elbows in it. And even if it is 2am, on a public holiday, or during Christmas lunch, we will be there promptly, repair the problem fast and tidy up before we leave.
When you ring our emergency line, you’ll talk directly to a plumber, not an answering service. We might even be able to help you deal with your problem over the phone. If not, we’ll be there rapidly in our fully stocked van to get it resolved as fast as possible.
