FAQ - Urgent Plumbers

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the power panel if needed first.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go straight to the main shutoff valve for your property. If you are unable to locate the tap to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold water taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you rapidly to get things sorted.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, clean up any water, and put a container to catch any drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The water main shutoff valve is generally located on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as the toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning this off can save your home from further flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our Erskine Park emergency plumbers know that a clogged drain can be a major health risk that needs attending to right away. That is why we offer our urgent plumbing service.

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can fix it by yourself with a plunger. But if you can’t, you need help rapidly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever want to see, or smell!

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our on call Erskine Park plumbers will quickly locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that we can’t get the obstruction completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to remove a blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely work well and can damage your pipes.

Do not let a obstructed drain send your day down the tubes. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Leaks

We usually take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to deal with? It’s awkward to have a good clean up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is defective and the water is luke warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it repaired fast so your life can get back to normal.

Hot water leaks can swiftly push your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as fast as possible, it will become more costly by the day.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Erskine Park urgent plumbers right away. We’ll 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 turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not able to be fixed, our professional plumbers can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and worn out, we can arrange for repairs at a time that works for you as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

From the little clean water pipes in the floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes underground, most of the pipes in your residence are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there’s a problem.

Once there is a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired immediately to prevent damage to your home, your furnishings and even your well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are set to be there right away, so ring our plumbers as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe fail?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you live in a cold climate, they may have frozen and burst. They may simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can grow into underground pipes.

Once they arrive, our same day plumber will locate the problem and expeitiously fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also check out the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other damage.

Tap Leaks Sorted

Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply busted?

We’ve been called to all sorts of tap issues over the years, and know that even a tiny drip can sound like elephants tapdancing in the small hours when the rest of the world is quiet. What was a insignificant aggravation, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks may 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 causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they need in the vans to resolve that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to pick from if you require a replacement, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or small for our Erskine Park plumbers. Not only can we fix your leaking taps, the team also offer a wide selection of additional plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not bad enough to warrant repairing right this moment, you can place a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to diminish the sound. Alternatively knot a length of string around the tap aerator sufficient to rest on the bottom of the basin, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
