FAQ - Emergency Plumber

I have a plumbing emergency, what do I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the switchboard.

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

Once that’s sorted, give us a call, whatever the day or time is. We’ll be with you rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant items, wipe up any water, and position a container to catch drips. You should also switch off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help! How do I turn off the water!

The main shutoff valve is normally on the edge of your property near the road. It is usually set into the ground below a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, many appliances and fixtures have their own isolating valves also.

Blocked Drains Solved

We understand a blocked drain can be a serious emergency. Whether it’s the ensuite sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are ready to resolve your plumbing emergency.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your home, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to resolve the block yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need a professional there rapidly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.

Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Bankstown plumbers will efficiently identify the problem and fix it so that life can get back to normal.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the blockage completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we come back.

Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?

If you have a plunger handy you can attempt to clear the blockage in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please don't use chemicals as they seldom get the job done properly and the chemicals can ruin the pipes.

Do not let a obstructed pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Tank Problems

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a hot shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Got a few dishes to deal with? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot faucet and all of a sudden realise that the water is barely warm.

When the hot water is not giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or practically boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you need it working again asap so you can get back to normal life.

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

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Bankstown emergency plumbers immediately. We will get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch 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, requirements and area. If your entire hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.

Burst Pipes Solved Quick

The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but significant part of everyday activities. Large and small, in the ground, in the walls or the ceiling or under the floor, they carry fresh water to you and take the dirty stuff away.

Usually, we never even recall them unless something goes wrong. But when it does, it is usually a significant issue that needs to be fixed urgently before the building, your possessions or even your well-being are damaged or destroyed.

The moment a leak is identified, give our team a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We’re waiting to answer any time. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further damage.

How did the pipe burst?

Pipes can deteriorate and start to leak for a variety of reasons. If you own an older residence, they might simply be old and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they may have frozen and split. In a new residence, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean pipes might have been forced open by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they are at your home, our urgent plumber will identify the issue and promptly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipes if needed to check for other issues.

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you live with a problematic tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just straight up defective?

We’ve been called to a range of faucet issues over the years, and know that even a minor drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a serious plumbing emergency.

It is not only frustrating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need on hand to remedy your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

As well as providing Bankstown with emergency plumbing of all kinds, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too large or too small.

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

If it is not annoying enough to need fixing right this moment, you can put a folded cloth or sponge underneath it to minimise the racket. Or tie a piece of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the bottom of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.
