What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if needed turn the electricity off on the switchboard.
If water is leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot locate the main valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the leak from worsening, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there quickly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting, clear away any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
We realise a obstructed drain can be a major problem. Whether it’s the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is seldom a good thing. That is why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it is a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
In the rare case that we can not get the clog completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to get you through until we come back.
If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to break up the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't plunge away, please don't use chemicals as they rarely do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin the drain pipes.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We normally take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put mucky kids in the shower? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a freezing day? Have a few of dishes to finish off? It’s hard to have a proper clean up when the water is cold.
When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it fixed quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it fixed asap so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause serious damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the average home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very quickly.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Shalvey emergency plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. 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 existing hot water cylinder is not repairable, our helpful plumbers can help in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also tired, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
Large or little, hidden in the earth or in the floor, walls or ceiling, the various pipes in your home are a unseen but integral part of your everyday life. They carry fresh water to your abode, and remove dirty water and sewage out.
Most of the time we do not even think about them. Not until there’s a problem, and all of a sudden we are standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved without delay, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and health.
When you locate a leak or burst pipe, phone our emergency plumbers right away. We 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 home.
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. They might simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they may have iced up in extremely wintery weather and split. Tree roots may have grown into subterranean joints. Or there may be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.
Our same day plumbers will identify and repair your broken pipes or leaks speedily and efficiently.
Do you have a defective faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious irritation. A little thing that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, ruining your sleep.
As well as keeping the whole house 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 further, or possibly cause damage to your home, get hold of our 24 hour plumber right away.

As well as providing Shalvey with emergency plumbing of all kinds, we are available for day to day maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or small.
