Urgent Plumbers FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off on the breaker box.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is done, give our plumber a ring, no matter what the day or time is. We’ll be there rapidly to fix the leak.

While you are waiting, remove any significant things close to the leak, and mop up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is normally on the boundary of the property close to the road. It is typically set in the ground below a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a clogged pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our team of urgent plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there speedily to get the drains cleared.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the yard, our on call Thornleight plumbers will quickly locate the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vans, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to clear the clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.

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

Hot Water System Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It is never convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.

If the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it remedied as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a huge amount, and can cause serious damage to your residence. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Thornleight urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will 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.

If your existing hot water cylinder is not able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help in picking the best options for your budget, household needs and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our team can schedule an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your residence are a largely unseen but integral part of everyday activities. Big and little, in the ground, in the wall or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.

Often, people do not even think about them until something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is generally a serious issue that needs to be sorted urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

As soon as a leak is identified, give our team a call, and our urgent plumbers will be with you rapidly. We are waiting to take your call day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further leaking.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps may burst. If you live in a extremely cold location, the pipes might have frozen and split. They may simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes might not have been installed properly to begin with. Tree roots may grow into underground seals.

Once our on call plumber arrives, they can isolate the issues and fix them in a speedy and expert manner.

Tap Leaks Fixed

Do you have a troublesome faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to have a dripping or busted faucet. You might not even hear the drip during the daytime, but in the small hours when it is resounding throughout the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it is a serious problem.

Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you require an entire new faucet, or just a washer that needs replacing, our specialist on call plumbers can quickly identify the trouble and remedy it. Our plumbers even carry a modest choice of taps and faucets on hand to select from, or can install a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Thornleight with urgent plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too great or minor.

Why is my tap dripping?

If it is not bad enough to be worth fixing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the sound. Or tie a piece of string around the tap aerator sufficient to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
