Urgent Plumbers FAQ

What do I do when a plumbing emergency occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water are not a good mix, so turn the electricity off at the power box if needed first.

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

Once that’s done, give our team a call, whatever the day or time is. We will be with you promptly to fix the leak.

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

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

The primary isolating valve will normally be on the edge of the property close to the road. It is typically set in the ground underneath a blue or black cover.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.

Blocked Drains Problems

When your drains are overflowing, you need assistance as soon as possible. Our urgent Lewisham plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and we are ready to get them unobstructed again.

Clogged pipes can be a serious health risk, especially if sewage is involved. Sometimes you can fix it on your own with a plunger and a little can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger though, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains unblocked.

Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our same day Lewisham plumbers will quickly identify the issue and clear it so that life can get back to normal.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we require on hand to repair almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are completed.

I have a plunger, can I fix it myself?

We endorse trying to clear simple blockages using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't work, we don't recommend chemicals as they seldom work well, and can cause more damage to your pipes.

Don’t let a clogged drain get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.

Hot Water System Problems

We generally take our hot water for granted, until it isn’t working properly. Time to put grubby kids in the bath? Want a good soak to warm up after a long cold day? Got some of dishes to deal with? It’s difficult to have a proper wash up when the water is lukewarm.

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

Did you know around thiry percent of the average household power bill is used on hot water heating? A leak can suddenly 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 problems empty your pocket, get them fixed quickly.

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

If you need a replacement hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking a suitable solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, we can schedule to do that in a timely fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Solved In No Time

The pipes in your home are a largely hidden but vital part of your daily life. Big and little, underground, in the wall or the roof, they carry fresh water to your home and take the unclean stuff away.

As soon as you find a problem though, it is the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you need it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your belongings and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is found, give us a ring, and our urgent plumbers will be on their way quickly. We’re waiting to answer 24/7. Before they get there, it could be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to prevent yet more flooding.

Why did my pipe burst?

There are many reasons why pipes and taps can start to leak. If you reside in a extremely cold region, they may have iced up and cracked. They might just be old and worn out. The pipes may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots can grow into subterranean connections.

Our emergency plumbers will identify and fix your burst pipes or leaks promptly and precisely.

Tapware Issues Solved

Do you have a problem tap? A faucet that won’t turn on or off properly, drips, or is just outright busted?

Over the years, we have learned that even a dripping faucet can be a significant annoyance. A little thing that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of daily life without warning sounds like elephants tap dancing at 2am, destroying your sleep.

It’s not only vexing drips though. Leaks can run up your water bill, and also your power bill if it’s hot water. And, 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.

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

From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Lewisham plumbers. Not only can we repair your leaking taps, we can also offer a wide range of other plumbing services.

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

If the drip is not aggravating enough to need fixing right now, you can place a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Or knot a piece of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
