What do I do when a plumbing calamity hits?
What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the power box.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to the house.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be there as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, wipe up any water, and position a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally positioned on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help right now. Our emergency The Spit plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A blocked drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call The Spit plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We suggest attempting to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and can cause more damage to your drains.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour The Spit emergency plumbing team now!
We usually take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to finish up? It is hard to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.
When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it repaired asap so you can get back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can quickly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as fast as possible, it can become more costly 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 The Spit emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the existing hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our reliable team can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, our plumbers can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
Large and small, hidden in the ground or within the floor, walls or ceiling, the pipes in your house are a hidden but vital part of your daily life. They carry clean water to your residence, and take used water and sewage away.
Often, you never even remember their existence until something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s usually a serious issue that must be sorted out urgently before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further damage.
Why did my pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean joints. Or there may be a problem with how they were set up to begin with.
When our on call plumber arrives, they will locate the issues and repair them in a quick and professional manner.
Do you own a faucet that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether broken?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a serious aggravation. A little thing that might go unheard in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your sleep.
It isn’t just annoying drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to resolve that leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving The Spit with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or minor.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and dribble off quietly.
