What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove valuable possessions from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
The primary isolating valve will be on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We know a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of same day plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally 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 speedily to get the pipes unblocked.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether there is a item blocking the toilet, 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.
In the rare case that we can not get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We suggest trying to clear minor blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and may even cause more damage to the pipes.
Do not let a blocked drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We generally don’t realise how heavily we depend upon easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Time to take care of a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s cold.
When the hot water has let you down, give our team a ring. We’ll be there swiftly to figure out the issue and find a solution. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can sort them out and get you back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can rapidly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as fast as possible, it will become more expensive by the day.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Lapstone same day plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. 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 existing hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly plumbers can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our team can organise improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.
Big and small, hidden in the garden or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and remove used water and sewage away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired asap to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.
The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our same day plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are ready to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to minimise further flooding.
How did my pipe fail?
There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, they might have iced up and burst. They may simply be aged and worn out. They may not have been adequately sealed when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground seals.
When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other problems.
Do you have a defective tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
We have seen a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant aggravation, can all of a sudden be a serious plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call our team now.
Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers will rapidly diagnose the cause and resolve it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From same day plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our Lapstone plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can often replace worn out parts right then and there for a very acceptable outlay.
