What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you are unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside the home to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber, remove any important things, wipe up any water, and place a bucket to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
You might know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally found on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance asap. Our 24 hour Richmond plumbers know how disheartening and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them flowing again.
Clogged pipes can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unblocked.
Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day Richmond plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
All our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to remove a clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can damage the drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Have some dishes to finish up? It is rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it working again fast 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 property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for about 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your pocket very swiftly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Richmond 24 hour plumbers straight away. We will get the hot water working again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If the whole hot water system needs improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
Large and little, buried underground or within the floor, wall or roof, the pipes in your home are a hidden but indispensible part of daily life. They carry clean water to your abode, and transfer dirty water and sewage out.
As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you want it resolved immediately to prevent damage to your home, your contents and even your health.
When you identify a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our 24 hour plumbers right away. Our team are waiting to help Richmond residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it could be useful to turn off the water to the property.
Why did the pipe fail?
There are various reasons why pipes and taps may burst. If you live in a cold climate, they might have frozen and split. They may simply be old and past their use-by. The pipes may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can force open underground connections.
Once the emergency plumber arrives, they can locate the problems and fix them in a expeitious and professional manner.
Do you own a defective tap? One that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
We have been called to all sorts of faucet problems over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker in the small hours when you’re trying to sleep. What was a minor aggravation, can suddenly become a major plumbing emergency.
It’s not only aggravating drips though. Leaks may drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need on hand to stop that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From 24 hour plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Richmond plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, the team also offer a broad selection of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a piece of string of some kind, and tie it around the tap spout so that it drapes down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and dribble off quietly.
