Urgent Plumbers - FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest location or at the mains valve outside. If you cannot locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be there quickly to solve the problem.

While waiting, clear away any important items from the area, and mop up any water or place a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The water main shutoff valve is generally located on the property perimeter close to the road, under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Crows Nest 24 hour plumbers know that a clogged pipe can be a serious health risk that needs attending to asap. That’s why we have our urgent plumbing service.

Clogged drains can cause damage to your residence, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your abode speedily to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We endorse attempting to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely work well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.

Do not let a blocked drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have some dishes to finish up? It is seldom opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is lukewarm.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be sorted as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen it all and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very rapidly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Crows Nest urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you need a new hot water cylinder, our team can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can organise to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Often, you barely even recall them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is a serious problem that must be sorted out immediately before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.

When you discover a leak or burst pipe, phone our urgent plumbers asap. We are waiting to help Crows Nest residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the home.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and burst. In a new house, there may be a problem with how they were installed. Underground seals might have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our on call plumber will locate the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other problems.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a problematic faucet? A tap that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?

We have seen an assortment of tap problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your house, call us now.

Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire new tap, our 24 hour plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are well stocked with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have what you need, our plumber can put in a temporary tap until we track down the style you want.

From urgent plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Crows Nest plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we can also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.

Why is my faucet dripping?

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and trickle off quietly.
