What do you do when a plumbing emergency hits? The very first thing is to make sure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power box.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve or at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the diaster from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. We will be there quickly to resolve the problem.
In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away significant items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
The primary isolating valve will normally be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is typically set in the ground below a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We know a obstructed drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked pipe is never a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a plumber there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Shalvey plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can’t get the clog completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Shalvey emergency plumbing team right away!
Had a hard day at work and desperately want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the kids in the tub? Have some dishes to finish up? It’s rarely handy to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is cold.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you want it remedied quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, 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 your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very rapidly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Shalvey emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not fixable, our professional team can assist in picking the most suitable option for your household needs, budget and location. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.
Big and little, hidden in the ground or in the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your house are a concealed but important part of your daily activities. They bring fresh water to your residence, and take used water and sewage out.
Normally we don’t even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we are looking at a damp patch, or even worse, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be repaired as soon as possible, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and health.
As soon as you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers right away. Our team are waiting to help Shalvey residents right away. Whilst waiting for us to arrive, it may be useful to turn off the water to the house.
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in very frigid weather and burst. Tree roots may have invaded underground connections. Or there may be an issue with how they were installed in the first place.
Our after hours plumbers will diagnose and fix your burst pipes or leaks quickly and cleanly.
Do you own a troublesome tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
Many clients over the years have told us how aggravating it can be to live with a dripping or broken tap. You may not even be aware of the drip during the daytime, but at 3am when it is resounding throughout your home like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, suddenly it’s a sigificant problem.
It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.
Whether you require a whole new tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our specialist 24 hour plumbers will efficiently diagnose the problem and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to pick from, or can install a temporary one if required.
As well as serving Shalvey with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too great or too small.
Why is my tap dripping?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and tie it around the faucet aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the string and trickle off quietly.
