FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

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.

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

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

While waiting, remove any important things close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also 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.

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

Urgent Plumber Ready

Blocked Drains Fixed

We know a clogged drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your residence, 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 a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over 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.

Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Don't Get Caught Without Hot Water

Hot Water Tank Problems

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It’s difficult to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you need it to be hot again promptly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Canterbury urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. 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 old hot water cylinder is not repairable, our helpful plumbers can help in finding the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Urgent Plumber Standing By

Burst Pipes Resolved Fast

Big and little, buried underground or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your home are a concealed but vital part of daily life. They carry fresh water to your abode, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Normally we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and health.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further leaks by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a newer house, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other damage.

All Tapware Handled

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you live with a annoying tap? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright broken?

We have seen all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 want a whole replacement tap, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist emergency plumbers can speedily identify the trouble and resolve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Canterbury with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or little.

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

Find a length of string of some type, and knot it around the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and trickle off quietly.
