FAQ Urgent Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the power box. Then, try to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

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

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be there as soon as we can to save the day.

While you wait, begin mopping up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove valuable things from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is located on the boundary close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Birchgrove on call plumbers realise that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to asap. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

We recommend attempting to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't work, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Birchgrove emergency plumbers right away!

Hot Water System Leaks

We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Have a few of dishes to take care of? It is hard to have a proper wash when the water is cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it fixed asap so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly push the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Birchgrove urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our friendly plumbers can help pick the best solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can arrange for repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

Big or small, buried in the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the pipes in your home are a unseen but vital part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage away.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further flooding.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and cracked. In a new home, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our on call plumbers can identify and fix your broken pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.

Taps Not Working?

Do you live with a problem tap? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a significant irritation. Something that might go unnoticed in the hurly burly of every day life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, ruining your shuteye.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking tap can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you want, we can put in an interim faucet until we locate the style you want.

As well as serving Birchgrove with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or too small.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
