After Hours Plumber FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the power panel. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as we can to save the day.

While you are waiting, remove any important items from the area, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!

The main shutoff valve is normally on the boundary of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

We know a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it is the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That’s why our crew of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains unblocked.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to get you through until we come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage your pipes.

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

Hot Water System Leaks

You usually don’t realise how heavily we rely upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there any longer. Just finished in the garage and really need a wash? Need to finish off a pile of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s lukewarm.

If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it fixed as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen it all and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Hot water leaks can rapidly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired quickly, it will become more expensive by the day.

When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our The Spit after hours plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your existing hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can help in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, we can arrange improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

The pipes in your house are a largely unseen but integral part of everyday activities. Big or little, subterranean, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Usually, you don’t even remember their existence until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a serious problem that must be sorted urgently before your home, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

Our after hours plumbers are set to be on the scene right away, so ring our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if required.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you live in a extremely cold location, they may have iced up and cracked. They might simply be aged and past their use-by. They might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots can grow into underground joins.

Once the on call plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a troublesome faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve been called to a range of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks may run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can install a temporary faucet until we locate what you desire.

As well as serving The Spit with after hours plumbing of all types, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or little.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

Find a length of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the twine and flow off quietly.
