Emergency Plumbers - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency strikes?

What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to locate the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The main isolating valve will be on the edge of your property close to the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
