What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go straight to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there quickly to solve the issue.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any important things, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The main isolating valve is generally on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set in the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.
Our Castlereagh on call plumbers understand that a blocked pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to asap. That’s why we provide our 24 hour plumbing service.
A blocked drain is a serious predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can not, you need help 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!
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not clear, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our same day Castlereagh plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
We recommend attempting to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the clog, we don't suggest chemicals as they seldom do a good job, and may cause more damage to the drains.
Don’t let a clogged drain ruin your day. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost following a freezing day? Got some of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash up when the water is not hot.
If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it working again asap. From blown elements, to defective thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly identify the issue and get it resolved.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Castlereagh 24 hour plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our friendly plumbers can assist in identifying the best soutions for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can arrange an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your residence are a generally concealed but important part of everyday life. Large and little, subterranean, in the walls or the roof or under the floor, they bring fresh water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
Normally we barely even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your house, possessions and health.
When you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our 24 hour plumbers without delay. Our team are waiting to assist Castlereagh residents right now. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for many reasons. If you own an older residence, they might simply be old and dilapidated. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and ruptured. In a newer home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean pipes could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the urgent plumber arrives, they will identify the issues and repair them in a rapid and expert manner.
Do you own a defective tap? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious vexation. Something that can go unheard in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the wee hours, destroying your deams.
It is not only annoying drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
Whether you just want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vehicles are fully equipped with parts and have a modest choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, we can put in a temporary tap until we locate the style you need.
As well as providing Castlereagh with 24 hour plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or little.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some type, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the string and dribble off quietly.
