Urgent Plumber - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to turn off the power at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

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

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions from the area, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The water main shutoff valve is generally found on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can save your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Issues

We understand a blocked pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself 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 we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive 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 require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the pipes.

Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Call our 24 hour West Pymble emergency plumbers now!

Hot Water Problems

You generally do not realise how heavily we rely on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Time to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it working again quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it remedied as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the usual household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our West Pymble urgent plumbers straight away. 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 switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.

Ususally we barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly you are standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and health.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may start to leak. If you reside in a very cold location, they may have frozen and cracked. They might just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can force open subterranean pipes.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipes if advised to look for other issues.

Tapware Problems Solved

Do you own a annoying faucet? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

We have been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

It isn’t just irritating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you require an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers will quickly diagnose the issue and fix it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing West Pymble with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too large or minor.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If it is not bad enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot some string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
