Emergency Plumbers FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We will be there promptly to solve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

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

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

We realise a blocked drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our 24 hour Willoughby East plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we require available to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom get the job done well, and can cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Leaks

It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got a sink-full of dishes to deal with? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is tepid.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it fixed speedily. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very quickly.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Willoughby East emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

The pipes in your residence are a normally unseen but very important part of your everyday activities. Big or little, under the ground, in the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Why did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and split. In a recently built residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our same day plumbers will diagnose and fix the broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and professionally.
