FAQ Urgent Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

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

Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to solve the problem.

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

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can save your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

Our Leichhardt same day plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to asap. That is why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Obestructed pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drains.

Don’t let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Leichhardt emergency plumbers now!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

Had a hard day at work and badly want a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got some dishes to take care of? It is seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is barely warm.

If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it sorted as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can quickly push your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as soon as possible, the cost can become more expensive by the day.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Leichhardt urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. 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 the cylinder is not repairable, our professional team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

The pipes in your home are a generally unseen but key part of everyday life. Big or small, in the earth, in the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Normally we don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed without delay, to prevent damage to your home, belongings and well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give our team a call, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road rapidly. Our team are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further damage.

Why did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in extremely frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open underground pipes. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed to begin with.

When they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will locate the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other damage.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a broken tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a geyser?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major vexation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you want a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional emergency plumbers can efficiently locate the problem and solve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Leichhardt plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I stop them temporarily to get some peace and quiet?

If it’s not annoying enough to be worth fixing right now, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Or knot a piece of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
