On Call Plumbers: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?

What should you do when you discover a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the electricity at the switchboard. Then, try to reduce any more leaking or flooding.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main water shutoff valve for your home. If you’re unable to find a main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your home to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is done, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to resolve the problem.

In the meantime, begin mopping up any water, place a container to catch drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The main shutoff valve is normally on the boundary of your property near the road. It is typically set into the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Fixed

Our Austral emergency plumbers understand that a obstructed pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing right away. That is why we have our on call plumbing service.

Blocked drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the bathroom sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Austral plumbers will quickly identify the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find an interim solution to get you through until we come back.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

If you've got a plunger, it is a good idea to try to clear the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they seldom do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids in the bath? Have a few dishes to deal with? It is seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.

When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it repaired asap. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can quickly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant harm to your wallet very rapidly.

If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Austral on call plumbers straight away. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our reliable team can help pick the best solution for your household needs, budget and area. If your whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

Large and small, buried in the ground or within the floor, wall or ceiling, the various pipes in your residence are a concealed but integral part of everyday activities. They carry clean water to your house, and remove dirty water and sewage out.

Normally, people never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s generally a serious issue that needs to be sorted out immediately before the building, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

Our on call plumbers are set to be there quickly, so ring our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe start leaking?

Pipes and taps can deteriorate for a range of reasons. The pipes might simply be old and dilapidated. Or they could have frozen in very frigid weather and ruptured. Tree roots could have invaded underground pipes. Or there may be an issue with how they were set up to begin with.

Our urgent plumbers can identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks promptly and efficiently.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a defective faucet? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?

We’ve seen a range of tap issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential aggravation, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound aggravating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire new tap, our 24 hour plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully equipped with parts and carry a small selection of replacement taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we do not have what you need, we can put in a temporary faucet until we track down what you need.

From large to small, our Austral on call plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of urgent and general plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me up at night, how can I stop them temporarily to get some sleep?

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the noise. Or tie a length of string around the tap spout sufficient to touch the base of the basin, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
