What do I do when a plumbing calamity strikes?
What do you do when a plumbing disaster arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off on the power panel.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you are unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once that is sorted, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to fix the leak.
In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, position a container to catch any drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
The primary shutoff valve will be on the border of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
A obstructed drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our on call Lapstone plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as we can.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to clear the clog 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 damage your drain pipes.
Don’t let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Lapstone emergency plumbing team now!
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a good clean when the water is cold.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can swiftly push your 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 speedily, the cost can become more costly by the hour.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Lapstone emergency plumbers right away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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 your existing hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our helpful team can assist in finding the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your home are a largely concealed but vital part of your everyday activities. Big or little, underground, within the walls or the roof, they bring fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.
Most of the time you barely even think of them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, possessions and well-being.
The moment a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way quickly. Our team are ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further damage.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and split. In a recently built residence, there could be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean joins may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and repair the damaged pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.
Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?
We’ve seen all sorts of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a trivial annoyance, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you want an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert urgent plumbers will speedily find the problem and resolve it. We even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From emergency plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Lapstone plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we can also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the racket. Or tie a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
