On Call Plumber - FAQ

Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!

What do you do when a plumbing calamity hits? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't combine safely, so if needed turn the power off on the switchboard.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t find a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains valve to cut off all water to the home.

Once you have stopped the leak from getting worse, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. We’ll be there rapidly to resolve the issue.

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

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

You may know the main valve as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This is generally found on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet.

Blocked Drains Solved

Our Burwood urgent plumbers realise that a obstructed drain can be a major health hazard that needs fixing as soon as possible. That is why we have our on call plumbing service.

Blocked pipes can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Our vans are well equipped to deal with any drain emergency. Regardless of whether it’s a toy blocking the toilet, a clog in the shower, or something has gone terribly wrong with the sewage pipes, our on call plumbers will get everything flowing once more.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the rare case that we can’t, we will temporarily resolve the complication to minimise further damage and return with what is needed as soon as possible.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger you can try to break up the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won't clear, please do not use chemicals as they seldom do the job properly and the chemicals can ruin your pipes.

Don’t let a clogged pipe send your day down the tubes. Ring us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water Not Working

We often don’t realise how much we count on easy fast hot water until it isn’t available anymore. Just finished in the garage and really want a shower? Time to take care of a sink-full of dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the water and find it’s barely warm.

When the hot water isn’t hot enough, you need it to be hot again asap. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we’ve seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the problem and get it resolved.

Did you know around 30% of the average household power bill is used for hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a considerable amount of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Don’t let hot water troubles hurt your pocket, get them resolved fast.

When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Burwood on call plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off 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 the best option for your budget, needs and area. If the entire hot water system requires improvements, we can arrange to do that in a timely manner as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

The pipes in your house are a generally concealed but indispensible part of daily activities. Big or little, underground, within the wall or the ceiling, they bring clean water to your home and take the used stuff away.

Normally, people don’t even think about their existence unless something goes wrong. But when water is coming through the ceiling, it is usually a major issue that needs to be fixed urgently before your house, your belongings or even your well-being are damaged or ruined.

Our on call plumbers are ready to get to you quickly, so contact us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if needed.

How did the pipe start leaking?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can fail. If you live in a very cold climate, the pipes may have iced up and ruptured. They might just be aged and worn out. The pipes might not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots may invade subterranean joins.

Our after hours plumbers can diagnose and repair the burst pipes or leaks speedily and cleanly.

Taps Leaking Or Dripping?

Do you own a broken tap? A tap that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?

Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a serious annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, disturbing your shuteye.

It isn’t just aggravating drips though. Leaks can drive up your water bill, and also your power bill if it is the hot water. Not only that, if water is getting down into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that little tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you want an entire replacement tap, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional 24 hour plumbers will quickly locate the issue and fix it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van to pick from, or can put in a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Burwood with on call plumbing of all kinds, our team are available for general maintenance and installation work. 24/7, no job is too big or minor.

Can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

Find a piece of twine of some type, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run along the twine and dribble off quietly.
