What do I do when a plumbing disaster occurrs?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating 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 tap to cut off all the water to the property.
Once that is sorted, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there shortly to fix the leak.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The main shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
We realise a clogged drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very quickly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Whether it is a item 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 again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Need to put grubby kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have some of dishes to deal with? It’s hard to have a good clean up when the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it sorted as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our St Ives 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch 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 solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the entire hot water system needs upgrading, we can schedule to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
Big or little, buried in the ground or within the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your residence are a hidden but integral part of daily activities. They carry clean water to your residence, and transfer used water and sewage out.
Ususally we never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we are looking at a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed asap, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.
When you identify a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to help St Ives residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older home, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they might have frozen and ruptured. In a new house, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean connections could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our urgent plumbers will identify and repair the burst pipes or leaks quickly and professionally.
Do you live with a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
We have been called to an assortment of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a small drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the wee hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a insignificant irritant, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, give us a ring.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From 24 hour plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or minor for our St Ives plumbers. Not only can we fix the leaking taps, the team can also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can usually replace worn out parts immediately for a very modest outlay.
