I've got a plumbing emergency, what do I do?
Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the power off at the power panel if needed first.
Many appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating valve below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to cut off all water to your property.
Once you have stopped the diaster from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, at any time of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to solve the problem.
While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, position a container to catch drips, and clear away valuable possessions from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black cover.
It’s also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
Our Shalvey on call plumbers understand that a blocked drain can be a serious health risk that needs attending to immediately. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.
Obestructed drains can be a major health risk, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unblock it yourself with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your garden, our 24 hour Shalvey plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.
In the rare instance that we can not get the clog completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, our team will find a temporary solution to get you through until we return.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
If you've got a plunger, it is worth trying to remove a clog yourself. We suggest using a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain ruin your day. Call us now!
We generally don’t realise how much you depend on easy quick hot water until it isn’t there anymore. Just finished in the garage and really want a wash? Need to finish up a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you want is to turn on the water and find it’s tepid.
When your hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you need it remedied fast. 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 always overflowing, you want it hot again quickly so your life can get back to normal.
Hot water leaks can quickly push the power bill through the roof. Leaks hiding in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted as soon as possible, it can become more costly by the hour.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Shalvey urgent plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your old hot water cylinder isn’t repairable, our reliable plumbers can help in identifying the best options for your budget, home size and your locality. If the rest of the system is also deteriorating, our team can arrange improvements so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.

As soon as a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on the road quickly. We’re ready to answer day or night. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent further flooding.
How did my pipe fail?
Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live in a very cold region, they may have iced up and ruptured. In a newer home, there may be an issue with how they were installed. Subterranean seals could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When the after hours plumber is present, they can isolate the problems and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you have a problem faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?
Many our clientelle over the years have told us how irritating it is to live with a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even notice the drip during the day, but in the wee hours when it is reverberating throughout your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a sigificant issue.
Not only is the sound annoying, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause long term damage to your home, give us a ring.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to stop your 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 extensive or minor for our Shalvey plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Find a length of twine of some kind, and tie it onto the faucet spout so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the string and dribble off quietly.
