What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the mains switch off at the breaker box.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a valve, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to cut off all water to your property.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be at your place as soon as possible to save the day.
While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, mop up any water, and put a container to catch drips. You also should switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The water main shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Richmond on call plumbers understand that a blocked pipe can be a serious health hazard that needs attending to as soon as possible. That is why we have our emergency plumbing service.
A clogged pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to see, or smell!
Whether it is the laundry sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our same day Richmond plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we need on hand to fix almost all drain blockages right away. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are concluded.
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to clear the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.
Do not let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and badly need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids into the tub? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it working again promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is barely warm or boiling, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it sorted asap so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly send your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it repaired asap, the cost will become more expensive by the day.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Richmond emergency plumbers right away. 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 turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder is not able to be fixed, our friendly plumbers can help pick the most suitable solution for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but important part of your everyday life. Big or little, subterranean, within the wall or the roof or under the floor, they carry clean water to you and take the dirty stuff away.
Often, we barely even think about them until something goes wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it’s usually a serious problem that needs to be sorted immediately before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our emergency plumbers as soon as possible. We are waiting to assist Richmond residents right now. Whilst waiting for us to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes and taps can break down for a variety of reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have forced open subterranean pipes. Or there might be a problem with how the pipes were installed in the first place.
Our on call plumbers can identify and fix the damaged pipes or leaks promptly and cleanly.
Do you have a problem tap? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
A lot of clients over the years have told us how frustrating it can be to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a serious issue.
Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not let the bills increase even higher, or possibly cause damage to your home, get hold of our 24 hour plumber straight away.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to fix your leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.
From emergency plumbing to general maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Richmond plumbers. Not only can we fix leaking taps, the team also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and flow off quietly.
