What do I do when a plumbing disaster hits?
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 switch off the power at the breaker box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
If there is water still leaking, turn off the service valve to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main valve for your property. If you’re unable to find a tap to turn off, then you can try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to get things sorted.
While you wait, begin mopping up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove valuable things from the area. If the house water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The main isolating valve will generally be on the boundary of the property near the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your pipes are overflowing, you need help quickly. Our on call Riverstone plumbers know how frustrating and damaging blocked pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.
A obstructed pipe is a serious problem, especially if it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can fix it by yourself with a plunger. However if you can not, you need assistance quickly. Let’s face it, a clogged or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether there is a toy blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can usually fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to prevent further damage and return with what is required as soon as possible.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
We recommend trying to clear minor blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you do not have one, or it does not work, we do not suggest chemicals as they seldom work well, and can cause more damage to the pipes.
Do not let a blocked pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately want a nice warm shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Got a sink-full of dishes to finish up? It’s never opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly realise that the water is tepid.
If the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it hot again quickly. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it resolved.
Hot water leaks can rapidly put the electricity bill through the roof. Leaks undetected in the back of the hot water cupboard can cause significant damage to your cabinetry. If you don’t get it sorted asap, it will become more costly by the hour.
If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Riverstone on call plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder is not repairable, our helpful team can assist in picking the best soutions for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also worn out, we can schedule an upgrade so you’ll soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your home are a generally unseen but very important part of your daily life. Large or little, underground, in the wall or the ceiling, they bring clean water to your home and take the dirty stuff away.
As soon as you find an issue though, it’s the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you need it repaired as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your contents and even your health.
Our on call plumbers are set to be there right away, so contact our team as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further damage by turning the water off at the mains tap if needed.
How did the 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 old and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework might have frozen and ruptured. In a newer home, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
When the after hours plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a speedy and expert manner.
Do you have a problem tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing a geyser impression?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping tap can be a significant irritation. Something that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like someone practicing the drums at 2am, ruining your shuteye.
It’s not only annoying drips though. Leaks may drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need on hand to stop that leak. Our plumbers carry a modest selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.
As well as providing Riverstone with on call plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. Night or day, no job is too extensive or little.
Why is my faucet dripping?
If it is not bad enough to need fixing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
