Emergency Plumber FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the breaker box if needed first.

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

Once that is sorted, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important possessions close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary shutoff valve is normally on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

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

Blocked Drains Problems

We realise a blocked pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode quickly to resolve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare case that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We endorse attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have one, or it does not clear the clog, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and can cause more damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately need a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have some dishes to finish up? It is seldom handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

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

Hot water leaks can swiftly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed asap, the cost will become more expensive by the hour.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Blaxland emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a large amount 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 isn’t fixable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large or little, buried under the ground or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your residence are a concealed but significant part of everyday life. They carry clean water to your home, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Once there is an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it fixed asap to prevent damage to your house, your contents and even your health.

When you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers right away. We are waiting to assist Blaxland residents right now. While you are waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the house.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean seals. Or there could be a problem with how they were installed in the first place.

When our urgent plumber is present, they will locate the issues and fix them in a speedy and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?

Over the years, we have found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. Something that may go unheard in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, ruining your shuteye.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call our team now.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to resolve your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as providing Blaxland with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or minor.

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

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
