I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off at the switchboard.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains water valve to stop all water to the house.
Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any hour of the day or night. They will be there quickly to solve the problem.
While you wait for our emergency plumber to arrive, remove any significant items, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
You may have been shown the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally found on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a obstructed pipe can be a major problem. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That’s why our team of after hours plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Clogged pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it is the ensuite sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Austral plumbers will quickly identify the obstruction and unclog 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’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and get back with what is required as soon as we can.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you've got a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock a blockage 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 rarely do a good job and can damage your drains.
Do not let obstructed pipes ruin your day. Call our on call Austral emergency plumbers now!
Had a hard day at work and badly want a hot shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Got a pile of dishes to take care of? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is tepid.
When your hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it remedied asap so you can get back to normal life.
Hot water leaks can swiftly put your power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted quickly, the cost can become more expensive by the hour.

From the little clean water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your house are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. We do not even remember them until there is a problem.
Often, you do not even recall them unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is a major problem that must be resolved urgently before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
When you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our after hours plumbers asap. We are waiting to assist Austral residents right away. While you are waiting for us to arrive, it could help to turn off the water to the house.
Why did my pipe start leaking?
Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older home, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live in a very cold region, the pipework may have frozen and split. In a recently built house, there might be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean connections could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our on call plumbers can identify and fix your broken pipes or leaks expeitiously and expertly.
Do you own a problematic tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up broken?
A lot of our clientelle over the years have told us how annoying it can be to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even hear the drip during the daytime, but at night when it is reverberating around your home like someone practicing the drums, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant problem.
As well as keeping the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Don’t let the bills increase even higher, or possibly cause damage to your house, contact our 24 hour plumber now.

Why is my faucet dripping?
