Emergency Plumber FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster arises? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the switchboard.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff valve is generally on the boundary of the property near the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Hassles

When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance quickly. Our emergency Marrickville plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.

A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our urgent Marrickville plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can not get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers come back.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we do not recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may cause more damage to your drains.

Do not let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Problems

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a chilly day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to deal with? It is hard to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not hot enough, you want it to be remedied speedily. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very swiftly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Marrickville emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a generally unseen but significant part of your everyday life. Large and small, in the earth, within the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed asap to prevent damage to your house, your furnishings and even your health.

Our emergency plumbers are set to be there right away, so ring our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you reside in a extremely cold location, they may have iced up and split. They may just be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots may grow into subterranean junctions.

Our after hours plumbers will identify and repair your damaged pipes or leaks promptly and expertly.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major irritation. A little thing that might go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your deams.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your home, give us a ring.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if required. If we do not have the tap you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we find what you desire.

From large to small, our Marrickville emergency plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and dribble off quietly.
