What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the power off at the breaker box if needed first.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then 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 faucets inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from worsening, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the issue.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant items, clean up any water, and put a bucket to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!
The main isolating valve will be on the boundary of your property near the road. It is typically set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help asap. Our 24 hour Thornleight plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it using a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Thornleight plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and unblock it so that life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger you can try to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.
Do not let a obstructed drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a hot shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Got a few dishes to finish up? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is barely warm.
If the hot water isn’t up to standard, you need it to be working again as soon as possible. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can quickly identify the issue and get it fixed.
Did you know about 30% of the average household power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your house and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water woes harm your wallet, get them resolved quickly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Thornleight 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working 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.

Big and small, buried subterranean or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your house are a concealed but vital part of everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your home, and transfer used water and sewage away.
Normally, you don’t even recall their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when it does, it’s a serious problem that needs to be sorted immediately before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
Our 24 hour plumbers are set to be on the scene quickly, so ring us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further damage by turning the water to the house off at the mains tap if needed.
How did the pipe start leaking?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have iced up and split. In a newer house, there could be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground seals might have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they are at your home, our same day plumber will locate the issue and quickly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to look for other issues.
Do you own a troublesome tap? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?
Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious vexation. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life without warning sounds like someone playing the bongos at 2am, ruining your sleep.
As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even more, or maybe even cause damage to your home, contact our emergency plumber right away.
Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement tap, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All our vans are well stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you need, our plumber can install an interim faucet until we track down what you need.
From large to small, our Thornleight 24 hour plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of string of some type, and tie it onto the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide along the string and flow off quietly.
