Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

FAQ: Emergency Plumber

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.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to stop all water to the house.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to save the day.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items from the area, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water 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, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Canterbury urgent plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a serious health risk that needs fixing asap. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will be at your abode speedily to resolve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs other 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 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 clogged pipes ruin your day. Call our urgent Canterbury emergency plumbers now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water Not Working

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Got a few of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash when the water is not hot.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it working again asap. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Canterbury emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot 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 fixed, our friendly team can help in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

Big or little, hidden underground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a concealed but integral part of your daily life. They bring clean water to your home, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your health.

Our emergency plumbers are set to get to you quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a new home, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once our urgent plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and fix them in a quick and professional manner.

All Tapware Handled

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?

A lot of our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at night when it’s resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a serious issue.

It’s not only irritating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you want an entire replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist urgent plumbers will efficiently find the issue and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Canterbury with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too great or small.

Why is my faucet dripping?

If it’s not annoying enough to need fixing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or knot a piece of string around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
