FAQ Emergency Plumbers

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the power off at the power box if needed first.

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

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to fix the leak.

In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove valuable possessions from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The primary shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your house from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Solved

We know a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.

A clogged drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to see, or smell!

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

Hot Water Leaks

We regularly don’t realise how heavily we rely upon effortless fast hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Need to finish up a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Thornleigh emergency plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing 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 your cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is tired and deteriorating, we can organise improvements at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Fast

The pipes in your residence are a largely unseen but significant part of everyday life. Large or small, in the earth, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they carry fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Normally we barely even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it repaired without delay, to prevent damage to your residence, possessions and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be there quickly, so call us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

Why did my pipe burst?

Pipes and taps can fail for various reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have frozen in very cold weather and cracked. Tree roots might have invaded underground pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Our urgent plumbers will diagnose and fix your damaged pipes or leaks speedily and professionally.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a irksome tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up busted?

We have seen all sorts of tap problems over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.

It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks may push up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just want a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day plumbers have got what you require. All the vehicles are well stocked with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if needed. If we don’t have the tap you need, we can put in a temporary tap until we locate what you desire.

As well as providing Thornleigh with emergency plumbing of all types, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or minor.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some rest?

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