It’s the worst moment when your bathroom faucet has spouted a leak, or your hot water heater has given up the ghost, or the toilet is clogged. Leaks, broken tapsfaucets, hot water tanks and clogged drains may all be a real pain.
Plumbing emergencies wait for noone. They can cause significant problems at the most annoying time, which is why you require an emergency plumber you can trust to be available when you call. We will respond and get there as fast as possible, no matter what time of day it is.
Our St Ives on call plumbers are waiting right now for you to ring. We are prepared to solve your problems so that you can return to enjoying life again. Our 24 hour service ensures that you don’t need to wait, so just give us a phone for plumbing help, any day of the year.
Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge, equipment and components to fix plumbing problems of all types quickly and economically. We’ve been looking after customers in the St Ives area for years, and our loyal clients keep coming back because they know we’ll do an efficient and clean job.
We don’t just do on call plumbing though, we are also available for non-urgent plumbing jobs. Call or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll assist you with all your plumbing requirements. We are ready and waiting, no matter what the problem is or how quickly it needs to be solved.
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if needed turn the electricity off at the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water 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 taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give us a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important items, mop up any water, and position a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main shutoff valve is usually found on the property perimeter close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your property from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a blocked drain can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of on call plumbers are waiting to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unblock it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the pipes unclogged.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our same day St Ives plumbers will quickly locate the issue and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove a blockage yourself. We recommend using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to take care of? It is a pain to have a good wash up when the water is cold.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your wallet very rapidly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our St Ives on call plumbers right away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can assist in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can organise improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
Big and little, buried in the earth or within the floor, wall or roof, the various pipes in your house are a hidden but significant part of everyday activities. They bring fresh water to your house, and remove dirty water and sewage out.
Once there is a problem though, it is the most important thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your health.
The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be with you quickly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise yet more flooding.
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in very wintery weather and split. Tree roots might have invaded subterranean seals. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Our after hours plumbers will identify and repair the broken pipes or leaks speedily and expertly.
Do you own a annoying tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?
A lot of customers over the years have told us how annoying it is to have a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a major issue.
It isn’t just irritating drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need on hand to stop that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if needed.
From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our St Ives plumbers. Not only can we repair the leaking taps, we can also provide a wide range of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth fixing right now, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to dampen the sound. Or tie some string around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
