What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off on the switchboard.
Many appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to cut off all water to your residence.
Once that is done, give us a ring, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there shortly to get things sorted.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, begin mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away important items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!
The main isolating valve is generally on the edge of the property near the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you need help right now. Our 24 hour Thornleight plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A blocked pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Whether it’s a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?
We suggest attempting to clear minor obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and may even cause more damage to your pipes.
Don’t let a obstructed pipe ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We often don’t realise how much you count on effortless fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished up in the garden and really want a shower? Want to deal with a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and discover it’s tepid.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it fixed as fast as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Did you know about 30% of your home power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak may suddenly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your residence and to things stored nearby. Do not let hot water woes hurt your wallet, get them repaired asap.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Thornleight 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your 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 isn’t repairable, our friendly team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household requirements, budget and area. If the whole system is old and worn out, we can arrange for upgrades at a time that works for you as well.
From the little fresh 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 don’t even remember them until there’s a problem.
Ususally you barely even think about them. Not until something goes wrong, and all of a sudden we are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your residence, belongings and health.
As soon as a leak is identified, give us a call, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting 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 home to minimise yet more flooding.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
Pipes and taps can break down for various reasons. They may simply be old and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely cold weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean joints. Or there might be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.
Our urgent plumbers will diagnose and repair the damaged pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.
Do you own a busted faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
We’ve been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a minor irritant, can all of a sudden be a drastic plumbing emergency.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can put a big hole in your budget as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even further, or maybe even cause damage to your house, get hold of our urgent plumber straight away.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to halt that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Thornleight 24 hour plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a broad range of emergency and general plumbing services.
The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?
Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can usually replace dilapidated parts immediately for a very acceptable cost.
