I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water tap to cut off all the water to your house.
Once that’s done, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things close to the leak, and wipe up any water or put a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!
The water main shutoff valve is usually located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can protect your residence from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
Our Oatlands after hours plumbers understand that a blocked pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing asap. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.
A blocked pipe is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain problem. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
You regularly don’t think about how heavily we depend on easy fast hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished in the garage and really need a wash? Need to deal with some dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it sorted fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it fixed fast so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause major damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about thiry percent of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very quickly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Oatlands emergency plumbers immediately. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off 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 reliable plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a generally hidden but significant part of your daily activities. Large and small, in the garden, within the walls or the roof, they bring clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Usually, we barely even recall them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is usually a serious issue that must be fixed urgently before the building, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.
Our emergency plumbers are ready to be on the scene quickly, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can minimise further damage by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you reside in a extremely cold climate, the pipes might have frozen and burst. They may just be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed to begin with. Tree roots may force open underground connections.
Our same day plumbers can identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.
Do you live with a problematic faucet? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just busted?
A lot of customers over the years have told us how aggravating it is to live with a dripping or defective tap. You may not even notice the drip during the daytime, but in the wee hours when it is echoing around the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it’s a serious issue.
It is not just vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you require a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist same day plumbers will efficiently locate the trouble and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small selection of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Oatlands emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide selection of emergency and general plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
