Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the power off at the breaker box.
If there is still water leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find the water valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the house to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that’s done, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any significant things, mop 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! How do I turn off the water!
The main isolating valve is generally on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Thornleight emergency plumbers know that a obstructed drain can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That is why we have our on call plumbing service.
A obstructed pipe is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to prevent further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a blockage yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.
Do not let a clogged drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a hot shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got some dishes to deal with? It’s never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.
When the hot water has fallen short, give our team a ring. Our team will be there quickly to diagnose the issue and fix it. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can repair them and get your life back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the usual household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major damage to your pocket very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Thornleight on call plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our team can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely manner as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally unseen but key part of daily activities. Big and little, subterranean, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Normally you don’t even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be resolved immediately, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and well-being.
Our on call plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so ring our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can reduce further flooding by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.
Why did my pipe fail?
Pipes can fail and start to leak for many reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework might have iced up and split. In a new home, there may be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they arrive, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if required to check for other damage.
Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is altogether defective?
Many clients over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to have a dripping or defective tap. You may not even hear the drip during the day, but at 3am when it’s resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.
It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our after hours plumbers have got what you require. All our vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the tap you need, our plumber can install an interim tap until we locate the style you want.
From big to small, our Thornleight on call plumbers can do it all. Not just taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and general plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Normally, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or defective washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the brand of faucet, we can usually replace worn out parts right then and there for a very acceptable price.
We’ve been assisting the people of Thornleight for many years now. Our customers know us as quick, professional plumbers who get the job done right first time, at an affordable price. We are the friendly faces you need to see when you have a plumbing emergency.
