What should you do when you find a plumbing disaster? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step 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 access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once that is sorted, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.
While waiting for our emergency plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things, clean up any water, and position a container to catch any drips. You also should turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.
The primary shutoff valve is usually positioned on the boundary near the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your house from more flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want help as soon as possible. Our same day Blackett plumbers know how overwhelming and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.
A clogged pipe is a major predicament, especially when it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unclog it by yourself using a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever want to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether there is a item blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing again.
In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.
We suggest attempting to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not clear the obstruction, we do not suggest chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and can cause more damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately need a good soak to defrost after a long cold day? Have a few of dishes to finish up? It’s a pain to have a good wash up when the water is cold.
When the hot water is not giving you that warm feeling, you need it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it hot again as soon as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around thiry percent of your home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very rapidly.
If you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Blackett same day plumbers immediately. We’ll get your hot water working 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 your old hot water cylinder isn’t fixable, our professional team can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our team can organise an upgrade so you will soon be enjoying life again.
From the little fresh water pipes in your walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You do not even remember them until there is a problem.
Normally, we don’t even remember them until something goes drastically wrong. But when a leak is destroying the walls, it is generally a serious problem that needs to be sorted urgently before the building, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our same day plumbers will be with you quickly. We are waiting to take your call any time. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce yet more flooding.
Pipes can fail and start 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 cracked. In a newer home, there might be an issue with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean junctions may have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once they arrive, our urgent plumber will identify the issue and speedily fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipes if required to check for other issues.
Do you live with a irksome tap? A faucet that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?
We have seen a range of tap problems over the years, and we understand that even a little drip can sound like someone practising the kettle drums at night when you’re trying to sleep. What was a inconsequential irritant, can suddenly become a drastic plumbing emergency.
It is not only irritating drips though. Leaks may run up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s 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 simply want a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our emergency plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of new taps and faucets for you to select from if desired. If we do not have the tap you want, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we track down what you need.
From same day plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or minor for our Blackett plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also provide a wide selection of additional plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a piece of string of some type, and knot it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and flow off quietly.
