Emergency Plumbers: FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

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

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

While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, wipe up any water, and place a bucket to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

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

You might have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Inner West on call plumbers know that a obstructed drain can be a major health risk that needs fixing asap. That’s why we have our emergency plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the ensuite sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our after hours Inner West plumbers will quickly locate the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require available to fix 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 tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

We suggest attempting to clear minor blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not work, we don’t suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and may even cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!

Hot Water System Problems

Had a hard day at work and desperately require a hot shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a few dishes to take care of? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it working again fast. 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 want it hot again asap so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Inner West emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable option for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Fast

From the small clean water pipes in your walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there is a problem.

Often, you don’t even recall their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it is generally a serious issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a call, and our emergency plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further damage.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground seals may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will identify the problem and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.

Taps Not Working?

Do you have a irksome faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?

We have been called to an assortment of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a trivial aggravation, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks can push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking 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 simply need a washer, or an entire new tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we find the style you need.

From big to small, our Inner West emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and trickle off quietly.
