I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to cut off all the water to the house.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We will be there quickly to solve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, mop 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.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main shutoff valve is usually located on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your property from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
Our The Spit same day plumbers know that a obstructed pipe can be a major health hazard that needs attending to asap. That’s why we provide our on call plumbing service.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy 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 everything flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to remove the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
You often do not realise how frequently you rely upon easy fast hot water until it is not there any longer. Just finished up in the garage and really want a wash? Need to finish off a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s tepid.

How did the pipe start leaking?
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a new residence, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground connections may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks rapidly and precisely.
Do you own a problematic faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?

From on call plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our The Spit plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team can also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
