FAQ: Urgent Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing calamity hits?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff tap to stop all the water to your house.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you wait, begin cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff 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 called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Our on call plumbers will identify and fix your broken pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a irksome faucet? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

We have seen a range of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at 2am when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a trivial niggle, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound frustrating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise your bills into orbit, especially if it is the hot tap. Don’t waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your house, give us a ring.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to resolve that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Northbridge plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we can also provide a wide selection of other plumbing services.

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

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and trickle off quietly.
