I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If you find water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the breaker box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that is done, give our team a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to fix the leak.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and place a bucket to catch any 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 primary shutoff valve will generally be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance right now. Our urgent St Ives plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A clogged drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we will arrive 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.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it's a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We normally 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 after a long cold day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It is difficult to have a proper clean when the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it hot again as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Did you know around 30% of your household electricity bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to items stored nearby. Don’t let hot water catastrophies hurt your wallet, get them resolved fast.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our St Ives urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing 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 you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.
From the small fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your home are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We don’t even remember them until there is an issue.
Often, people barely even recall their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a serious problem that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did the pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can deteriorate for various reasons. The pipes might simply be old and deteriorated. Or they could have frozen in very cold weather and burst. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there could be an issue with how the pipes were set up in the first place.
When they arrive, our 24 hour plumber will diagnose the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of the pipes if advised to check for other issues.
Do you own a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. Something that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your sleep.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, call us now.
Whether you require an entire new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers can speedily diagnose the cause and solve it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our St Ives urgent plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad range of urgent and general plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can usually replace worn out parts right then and there for a very modest cost.
