Help, I have a plumbing emergency!
What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your place as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important items close to the leak, and clean up any water or put a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The main shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting this off can protect your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want help as soon as possible. Our emergency Willoughby plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A obstructed drain is a serious predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock the clog yourself. We suggest using 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 rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Willoughby emergency plumbing team right away!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have some dishes to take care of? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is cold.
When your hot water has let you down, give us a ring. Our team will be there swiftly to diagnose the issue and get it fixed. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, we can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very rapidly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Willoughby emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly.

How did the pipe fail?
There are various reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you reside in a cold location, they may have iced up and burst. They might just be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots may invade underground pipes.
When our after hours plumber arrives, they can isolate the issues and fix them in a quick and expert manner.
Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is altogether busted?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious vexation. A little thing that may go unheard in the hubbub of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the wee hours, disturbing your deams.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
