FAQ Urgent Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the power box.

If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest location and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main isolation valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give our team a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to resolve the problem.

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

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You might have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally located on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged pipe is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

A blocked pipe is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your abode speedily to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem 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.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

We recommend attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely get the job done well, and can cause more damage to the pipes.

Hot Water Tank Not Working

We normally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water isn’t up to temperature, you want it to be remedied quickly. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.

Did you know about thiry percent of the average household electricity bill powers the hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks may also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water troubles harm your pocket, get them resolved asap.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Thornleigh urgent plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. 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 the cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and deteriorating, we can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the little fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your house are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there’s a problem.

Normally you do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden you’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to prevent damage to your house, belongings and well-being.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We are waiting to answer day or night. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to reduce yet more flooding.

How did my pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they might simply be old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have iced up and burst. In a new residence, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground pipes may have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our 24 hour plumber will identify the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if needed to look for other problems.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a significant irritation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos in the wee hours, ruining your deams.

It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is the 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 putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you simply need a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have got what you need. All the vans are well stocked with parts and have a modest choice of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you require, we can put in an interim faucet until we track down the style you need.

As well as serving Thornleigh with urgent plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or small.

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

If it’s not annoying enough to need fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the sound. Or tie a piece of twine around the faucet aerator sufficient to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
