What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?
What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any important items, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You might have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is positioned on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our urgent Box Hill plumbers know how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.
A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home speedily to solve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the drain pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We often do not realise how heavily we count on effortless fast hot water until it is not available any longer. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Want to deal with some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the tap and discover it’s barely warm.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy 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’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it remedied as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Box Hill urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing 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 you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there’s an issue.
Once there is a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your health.
As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to minimise yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. They might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have frozen in very frigid weather and split. Tree roots could have invaded subterranean joints. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.
Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if advised to look for other problems.
Do you live with a problematic faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just defective?
Many customers over the years have mentioned how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or busted tap. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but at night when it is reverberating around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it is a major issue.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even more, or possibly cause damage to your residence, call our 24 hour plumber now.
Whether you require an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional same day plumbers will rapidly find the problem and remedy it. We even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Box Hill plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team can also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?
If the drip is not annoying enough to need repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively tie a piece of twine around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
