FAQ: Emergency Plumbers

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the switchboard.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating 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 valve to cut off all water to your property.

Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as possible to resolve the problem.

While waiting, remove any important things from the area, and wipe up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you’ve turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I don’t know where the main water valve is!

You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our emergency Kirribilli plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

Obestructed drains can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unblock it by yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Kirribilli plumbers will quickly identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily solve the problem to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as we can.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water System Problems

We generally take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a wintery day? Have some of dishes to finish off? It’s a pain to have a proper clean up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it repaired quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can quickly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired asap, it will become more costly by the hour.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Kirribilli emergency plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water working again promptly. 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 need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable option for your budget, requirements and area. If the entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can schedule to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

From the small clean water pipes in the floor, walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even think of them until there’s an issue.

Usually, you do not even recall them until something goes wrong. But when it does, it is a major issue that must be sorted urgently before your house, your possessions or even your health are damaged or destroyed.

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

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and deteriorated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and ruptured. Tree roots might have grown into subterranean connections. Or there might be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.

When they arrive, our urgent plumber will locate the problem and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of your pipework if required to check for other issues.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a length of string of some type, and tie it around the tap aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
