FAQ - After Hours Plumbers

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the power box if needed first.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate a tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or place a container to catch any drips. If you have 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 shutoff valve is generally positioned on the boundary near the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your property from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older home, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and cracked. In a new home, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean joins could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if needed to check for other problems.
