Emergency Plumber: FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

What do you do when a plumbing calamity arises? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the power panel.

If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains valve outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. They will be there promptly to solve the issue.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start wiping up any water, put a container to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I do not know where the main water tap is!

You may have been shown it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally located on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps also.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance right now. Our emergency Box Hill plumbers understand how overwhelming and damaging blocked drains can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

Blocked drains can be a major health hazard, especially when sewage is involved. Occasionally you can unclog it by yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can be there rapidly to get the drains cleared.

Whether it is the kitchen sink that won’t drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our on call Box Hill plumbers will efficiently locate the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything right then and there. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is required as soon as we can.

Can I unblock the drain myself?

If you've got a plunger, it's worth trying to remove the clog yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to the drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Tank Issues

We tend to take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t functioning correctly. Need to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to take care of? It’s awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.

When the hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you want it sorted quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is faulty and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it working again quickly so you can get back to normal life.

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very quickly.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Box Hill emergency plumbers right away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If you do need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick a suitable solution for your budget, needs and area. If your entire hot water system needs upgrading, our plumbers can organise to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Promptly

The pipes in your house are a normally hidden but significant part of your daily life. Large or small, underground, within the wall or the roof, they carry clean water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

Once there is a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be serious stuff, and you need it repaired asap to prevent damage to your residence, your contents and even your health.

Our emergency plumbers are prepared to be on the scene quickly, so contact our plumbers as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further damage by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

Why did the pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps might break down. If you live in a extremely cold climate, the pipes may have iced up and cracked. They could simply be aged and worn out. They might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots can force open subterranean seals.

When our same day plumber arrives, they will isolate the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you have a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply broken?

Many our clientelle over the years have mentioned how vexing it is to have a dripping or defective faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but at 3am when it is resounding around your home like tapdancing elephants, all of a sudden it is a serious problem.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can send the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause expensive damage to your residence, give us a ring.

Whether you just need a washer, or a whole new tap, our on call plumbers have the parts that you require. All the vans are well equipped with parts and have a small choice of new taps and faucets to select from if needed. If we do not have the faucet you need, our plumber can install a temporary faucet until we track down what you desire.

From large to small, our Box Hill emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. As well as taps, we offer a wide selection of emergency and non-urgent plumbing services.

Why is my tap dripping?

Find a piece of string of some kind, and knot it around the faucet aerator so that it drapes down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and dribble off quietly.
