After Hours Plumbers - FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing disaster arises? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the power off on the switchboard.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important possessions close to the leak, and clean up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your home from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

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

Blocked Drains Fixed

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our after hours Thornleigh plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will arrive at your abode quickly to solve the problem. Our highly trained 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 normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your drains.

Don’t let a obstructed pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is barely warm.

When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. Our plumbers will be there quickly to diagnose the problem and resolve it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly send the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired promptly, it will become more expensive by the hour.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Thornleigh after hours plumbers right away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot 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 replacement hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, we can arrange to do those repairs in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted In No Time

The pipes in your residence are a largely hidden but integral part of your everyday activities. Large and little, underground, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they bring fresh water to you and take the unclean stuff away.

Most of the time we barely even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired immediately, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

Our after hours plumbers are set to get to you right away, so call us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you own an older residence, they might simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they might have iced up and cracked. In a recently built residence, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground pipes might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

When our on call plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.

Tapware Issues Sorted

Do you own a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether broken?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or broken tap. You might not even notice the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s reverberating throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a serious issue.

Not only can it keep the whole house awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is hot water. Don’t let the bills increase higher, or possibly cause damage to your house, get hold of our emergency plumber now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to halt your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Thornleigh with after hours plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or minor.

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

Usually, a dripping tap is caused by a worn out or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the style of faucet, we can often replace dilapidated parts on the spot for a very acceptable price.
