FAQ - After Hours Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What should you do when you locate a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the electricity at the breaker box. Then, attempt to reduce any further leaking or flooding.

Many appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to cut off all the water to the house.

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

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any significant things from the area, and wipe up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

You might have been shown the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is normally located on the boundary near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We understand a blocked pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a blocked pipe is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of after hours plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially when sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it yourself with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive speedily to get the pipes unclogged.

Whether it’s the laundry sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our urgent Lakemba plumbers will quickly locate the problem and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need on hand to repair almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs other equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock the blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely do a good job and can damage your pipes.

The pipes in your house are a generally unseen but very important part of your everyday life. Large or small, under the ground, within the walls or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the used stuff away.

As soon as you find an issue though, it is the most imperative thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is worrying stuff, and you want it resolved as soon as possible to prevent damage to your house, your belongings and even your health.

Why did my pipe start leaking?

There are various reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a cold location, they might have frozen and cracked. They might just be old and past their use-by. They might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots may grow into underground joins.

When the same day plumber is present, they will isolate the problems and repair them in a expeitious and professional manner.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you have a problem faucet? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?

We’ve seen a range of faucet issues over the years, and we understand that even a minor drip can sound like elephants tapdancing at 2am when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a inconsequential annoyance, can all of a sudden be a dire plumbing emergency.

It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks can drive up the water bill, and also your power bill if it’s the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that small tap leak can end up putting a huge dent in your wallet.

Whether you just need a washer, or an entire replacement faucet, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are well stocked with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if required. If we don’t have what you want, our plumber can install an interim tap until we locate what you need.

From after hours plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too great or little for our Lakemba plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we also provide a broad selection of additional plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Usually, a dripping faucet is caused by a dilapidated or flawed washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of tap, we can usually replace worn out parts right then and there for a very modest cost.
