Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power box.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

Once that’s sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to get things sorted.

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

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The primary shutoff valve will be on the edge of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

We know a blocked pipe can be a major problem. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there quickly to get the drains cleared.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.

With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to repair almost all drain obstructions right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it does not clear the clog, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely work well, and may even cause more damage to the drains.

Don’t let a obstructed drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

You regularly do not realise how much we rely upon effortless quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a wash? Want to take care of a pile of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s tepid.

When the hot water has fallen short, give us a ring. We will be there promptly to figure out the problem and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get your life back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted fast, it can become more costly by the hour.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Gordon urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our professional team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is tired and worn out, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there’s a problem.

Normally, people do not even think about their existence until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is a major problem that needs to be resolved immediately before your house, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

The moment a leak is identified, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. Our team are waiting to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to minimise further flooding.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. They may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and split. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean seals. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up to begin with.

When they arrive, our same day plumber will locate the problem and speedily repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.

Do you own a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?

Many customers over the years have told us how vexing it can be to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at night when it’s resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a serious problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our on call plumbers have got what you need. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have what you want, we can put in a temporary tap until we find what you desire.

From big to small, our Gordon urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and general plumbing services.

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

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