Urgent Plumber - FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time day or night. We’ll be at your home as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting, clear away any important things close to the leak, and clean up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The primary isolating valve is generally on the boundary of your property near the road. It is usually set in the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

We realise a clogged pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That is why our crew of urgent plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink will not empty, or the stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll be at your abode quickly to solve the issue. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it's a good idea to try to clear the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a clogged pipe get you down. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Not Working

We often do not think about how heavily you rely on effortless fast hot water until it is not available anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a wash? Need to deal with a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and discover it’s cold.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it working again fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied quickly 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 often accounts for around thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your wallet very swiftly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Putney urgent plumbers straight away. We’ll get the 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 you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, we can organise to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Promptly

From the small fresh water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even think of them until there is an issue.

Often, people don’t even think about them unless something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your furnishings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there quickly, so call us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.

How did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The pipes may simply be old and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open underground seals. Or there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed in the first place.

Our on call plumbers can identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.

Tapware Problems Sorted

Do you own a problematic tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

We’ve seen all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a minor aggravation, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can send your bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call our team now.

Whether you require a whole replacement faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our expert after hours plumbers will quickly locate the trouble and resolve it. We even carry a modest selection of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too big or small for our Putney plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, the team also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I temporarily stop them to get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not annoying enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the racket. Or tie a length of twine around the faucet spout sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
