What do I do when a plumbing calamity occurrs?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off at the switchboard.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you have 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!
The main shutoff valve will be on the boundary of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
Our Lapstone emergency plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a serious health hazard that needs fixing immediately. That is why we offer our 24 hour plumbing service.
A obstructed pipe is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!
Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We normally take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to warm up after a chilly day? Got a pile of of dishes to deal with? It is awkward to have a proper wash when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it hot again fast so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly push your power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it can become more costly by the hour.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Lapstone 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find 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 the cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, we can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.
Big and small, buried under the ground or within the floor, walls or roof, the pipes in your residence are a hidden but key part of your everyday life. They carry clean water to your house, and take unclean water and sewage away.
Normally, we barely even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s generally a major problem that must be sorted out urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to assist Lapstone residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in very wintery weather and burst. Tree roots may have grown into subterranean joints. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.
When they are at your home, our same day plumber will identify the issue and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if advised to check for other problems.
Do you own a defective faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious annoyance. Something that might go unheard in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, disturbing your sleep.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase more, or possibly cause damage to your house, call our after hours plumber straight away.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to remedy your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving Lapstone with 24 hour plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or little.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it onto the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
