I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains water shutoff tap to stop all the water to your residence.
Once that is done, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you promptly to resolve the problem.
While you are waiting, remove any important things from the area, and clean up any water or position a container to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help, I do not know where the main water valve is!
You might know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally located on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.
Our Shalvey 24 hour plumbers understand that a clogged drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing asap. That’s why we offer our urgent plumbing service.
A blocked drain is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unblock it yourself using a plunger. But if you can not, you need help quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Whether it’s the laundry sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your yard, our on call Shalvey plumbers will quickly identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more extensive repairs are required, our team will find an interim solution to tide you over until we return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
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 do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage the drain pipes.
Don’t let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our on call Shalvey emergency plumbing team right away!
It’s been a hard day at work and badly require a hot shower? Time to put the children in the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish off? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot faucet and suddenly discover that the water is lukewarm.

Hot water leaks can swiftly send the power bill through the roof. Leaks unseen in the back of the hot water cupboard can create major damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed speedily, it can become more expensive by the hour.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in your hot water system, call our Shalvey urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get your hot water working again quickly. If there is a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

From the small fresh water pipes in the walls and ceilings, to the large sewage pipes in the garden, most of the pipes in your residence are concealed away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s an issue.
Normally, we don’t even recall their existence unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it’s generally a serious problem that must be sorted urgently before your home, your possessions or even your health are damaged or ruined.
Our urgent plumbers are prepared to be on the scene right away, so contact our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can reduce further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.
Why did the pipe fail?
There are many reasons why pipes and taps might burst. If you live in a very cold region, the pipes might have frozen and cracked. They may just be aged and worn out. The pipes might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots can force open underground junctions.
Once our on call plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and repair them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you own a problematic tap? One that will not turn on or off properly, drips, or is just plain defective?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a major aggravation. Something that can go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, disturbing your shuteye.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, give us a ring.
Whether you need a whole replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our expert on call plumbers can efficiently identify the trouble and solve it. Our plumbers even carry a small choice of taps and faucets on hand for you to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if required.
From big to small, our Shalvey urgent plumbers can do it all. As well as taps, we offer a broad range of urgent and non-urgent plumbing services.
Why is my faucet dripping?
Find a length of twine of some type, and tie it around the tap spout so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will slide down the twine and dribble off quietly.
