What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power panel.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions from the area, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main shutoff valve will generally be on the boundary 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 as well.
We realise a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the pipes cleared.
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our after hours Five Dock plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
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 issue that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the pipes.
Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Five Dock emergency plumbers now!
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put muddy kids in the shower? Want a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Got some of dishes to finish off? It’s a pain to have a good wash up when the water is cold.
When the hot water has let you down, give our plumbers a call. We’ll be there promptly to identify the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Did you know around 30% of the average household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your home and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water calamities harm your pocket, get them fixed asap.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Five Dock emergency plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable plumbers can assist in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, we can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Large and little, hidden underground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but key part of daily life. They carry clean water to your residence, and take unclean water and sewage out.
Normally we don’t even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and well-being.
Our emergency plumbers are set to be on the scene quickly, so ring our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a recently built residence, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Underground joins could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When our 24 hour plumber arrives, they can identify the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.
Do you have a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply busted?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant irritation. Something that might go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, disturbing your deams.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills increase higher, or maybe even cause damage to your home, get hold of our urgent plumber now.
Whether you need a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional on call plumbers can efficiently find the cause and resolve it. Our plumbers even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From big to small, our Five Dock emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a wide range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If it is not aggravating enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
