Emergency Plumber: FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the power off on the breaker box.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to cut off all the water to your residence.

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

While waiting, remove any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your pipes are overflowing, you need assistance right now. Our emergency North Rocks plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Blocked drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes cleared.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our on call North Rocks plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until we come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We suggest trying to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not work, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and can even cause more damage to your pipes.

Do not let a obstructed drain get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Got a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is hard to have a proper wash up when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again fast so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our North Rocks emergency plumbers right away. We’ll 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.

As soon as a leak is found, give us a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to prevent yet more leaking.

How did the pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you reside in a very cold location, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They might simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may grow into underground junctions.

Once they are at your home, our after hours plumber will diagnose the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if advised to look for other damage.

Tap Issues Resolved

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether busted?

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor niggle, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills rise even further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, contact our same day plumber now.

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

Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it onto the tap spout so that it dangles down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
