What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the breaker box.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to cut off all water to the house.
Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to get things sorted.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The main isolating valve will normally be on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.
Our Lapstone on call plumbers realise that a blocked drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to right away. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
Obestructed pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unclogged.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing once more.
In the rare instance that we can not get the blockage completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until our plumbers return.
I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
We suggest attempting to clear minor clogs using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and may cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is awkward to have a good wash up when the water is cold.
If the hot water is not hot enough, you need it remedied as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it fixed.
Hot water leaks can swiftly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed promptly, the cost can become more expensive by the day.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Lapstone urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a large amount 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 isn’t repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is tired and worn out, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a largely hidden but very important part of your everyday activities. Big and little, underground, in the walls or the roof, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Most of the time we do not even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your home, possessions and health.
The moment a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are ready to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it could be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more leaking.
How did the pipe burst?
Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be aged and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and cracked. In a new residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When the emergency plumber arrives, they can isolate the problems and fix them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you live with a troublesome tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a serious irritation. A little thing that may go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your sleep.
It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new faucet, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we find what you want.
As well as serving Lapstone with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or too small.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it’s not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or knot some twine around the tap spout long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
