What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?
What should you do when you find a plumbing calamity? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power panel. Then, try to minimise any further leaking or flooding.
If water is 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 appliance, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to solve the problem.
In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and remove important possessions from the area. If the house water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
The primary isolating valve will normally be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.
Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves as well.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance asap. Our on call Blackett plumbers understand how disheartening and damaging blocked pipes can be, and they are ready to get them cleared again.
Clogged drains can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.
Whether it is the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our same day Blackett plumbers will efficiently locate the obstruction and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vehicles, we have everything we need available to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that requires other equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are finished.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you have a plunger handy you can try to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drains.
Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Blackett emergency plumbers now!
We usually take having hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a long cold day? Have a sink-full of of dishes to finish off? It is a pain to have a good wash when the water is lukewarm.
If the hot water isn’t hot enough, you want it fixed as soon as possible. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.
Hot water leaks can swiftly put the power bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause major damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed as fast as possible, it will become more expensive by the day.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, ring our Blackett on call plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly. If there is 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 you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, needs and location. If your entire hot water system requires improvements, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a timely fashion as well.
From the small fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is a problem.
Normally, we never even think about their existence unless something goes drastically wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it’s a major problem that needs to be fixed urgently before your home, your belongings or even your health are damaged or destroyed.
The moment a leak is found, give us a call, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they arrive, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to prevent further flooding.
How did the pipe fail?
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older home, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have frozen and burst. In a newer home, there might be a problem with how they were installed. Underground junctions may have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Our after hours plumbers will identify and fix the burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and cleanly.
Do you have a annoying faucet? One that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a significant annoyance. Something that can go unnoticed in the hurly burly of daily life suddenly sounds like a jack hammer in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.
It is not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to stop that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you need a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From big to small, our Blackett on call plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad selection of emergency and day to day plumbing services.
Why is my tap dripping?
If the drip is not bad enough to need repairing right now, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to dampen the sound. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the tap spout sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
