We’ve been looking after Northwood for years, and our highly trained plumbers have the knowledge, parts and equipment to solve all sorts of plumbing problems fast and efficiently. We will even tidy up any mess we’ve made before we leave.
We don’t just do urgent plumbing though, we’re also available for plumbing jobs that are plumbing. Call or email our friendly dependable staff, and we’ll help you out with all your plumbing requirements. We are ready and waiting, regardless of what the issue is or how fast it has to be solved.
What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power box.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the isolating valve to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The main isolating valve is generally on the border of your property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
We realise a obstructed pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a good thing. That’s why our team of urgent plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged drains can be a major health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the pipes unclogged.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Regardless of whether it is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.
In the rare case that we can’t get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to tide you over until we come back.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear a blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not working correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately need a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to finish off? It is awkward to have a proper clean up when the water is not hot.
When your hot water has fallen short, give us a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to figure out the issue and get it resolved. From heating elements to defective thermostats to leaking cylinders, our plumbers can repair them and get you back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very quickly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Northwood urgent plumbers right away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If there is 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our team can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.
As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your furnishings and even your health.
Our urgent plumbers are prepared to get to you right away, so call our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did my pipe fail?
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps may break down. If you reside in a very cold climate, they might have iced up and cracked. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. They might not have been properly installed when the home was built. Tree roots can grow into subterranean seals.
When they are at your home, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and expeitiously repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to check for other issues.
Do you own a defective tap? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a major aggravation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your shuteye.
It isn’t just vexing drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole new tap, our same day 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 don’t have what you require, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we find the style you desire.
As well as providing Northwood with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too extensive or small.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
If the drip is not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Alternatively tie a piece of string around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
