What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the water main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove important items from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The primary shutoff valve will be on the edge of your property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
Our St Ives same day plumbers realise that a obstructed pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible however, you need a professional there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there 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.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the pipes.
Don’t let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Call our emergency St Ives emergency plumbing team right away!
Had a hard day at work and desperately need a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got some dishes to take care of? It’s seldom opportune to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is cold.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about 30% of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your wallet very swiftly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our St Ives urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

The pipes in your residence are a normally hidden but indispensible part of everyday activities. Big and little, subterranean, within the walls or the roof, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Normally, you never even think about them unless something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a significant problem that must be resolved immediately before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are ready to take your call 24/7. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the property to reduce further leaking.
How did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots might have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there could be an issue with how they were installed to begin with.
When they arrive, our emergency plumber will identify the issue and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.
Do you own a troublesome faucet? A tap that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain busted?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major annoyance. Something that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.
As well as keeping the whole house awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it is hot water. Do not let the bills increase even further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, call our on call plumber now.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to stop your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
As well as serving St Ives with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too large or little.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?
Find a piece of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
