What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We will be at your home as soon as we can to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things from the area, and mop up any water or position a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Thornleight on call plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs attending to immediately. That’s why we provide our emergency plumbing service.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the clog yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home rapidly to resolve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we require on hand to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?
We suggest trying to clear minor clogs with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the clog, we do not recommend chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and may even cause more damage to your drains.
Don’t let clogged pipes ruin your day. Ring our 24 hour Thornleight emergency plumbing team right away!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a nice warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Got some dishes to finish off? It’s rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.
When your hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it working again as soon as possible so you can get back to normal life.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Thornleight emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is 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.

The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but vital part of your everyday life. Big and small, in the earth, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Once there is an issue though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.
As soon as a leak is found, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be with you rapidly. We’re waiting to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more damage.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes can break down and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older residence, they might simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and cracked. In a newer residence, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our on call plumbers will diagnose and repair the broken pipes or leaks rapidly and precisely.
Do you live with a tap that will not turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply broken?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant vexation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer at 2am, destroying your deams.
Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your residence, give us a ring.
Whether you simply need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our after hours plumbers have got what you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and carry a modest choice of new taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we do not have what you require, our plumber can put in an interim tap until we find the style you desire.
As well as serving Thornleight with emergency plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.
Why is my tap dripping?
If it’s not annoying enough to warrant repairing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the sound. Alternatively knot some string around the tap spout long enough to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
