Help, I’ve got a plumbing emergency!
What do you do when a plumbing disaster strikes? The very first thing is to ensure it is safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water don't play well together safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off on the switchboard.
If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the main isolation valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold taps inside and out to help depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.
Now give our on call plumbers a ring, any hour day or night. We will be at your home as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant things from the area, and clean up any water or position a bucket to catch the drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
I do not know where the main water tap is!
The primary shutoff valve is found on the boundary close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can protect your property from increasing flooding or damage to the hot water cylinder.
It is also known as an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
When your drains are overflowing, you want assistance right now. Our urgent Russell Lea plumbers know how frustrating and damaging obstructed pipes can be, and they are ready to get them flowing again.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your house, or create a health hazard very rapidly. In some cases, you may be able to resolve the problem yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible however, you need someone there rapidly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.
Our vans are well equipped to resolve any drain problem. Whether it is a item blocking the toilet, or a clog in the shower, or something has gone horribly wrong with the sewage line, our on call plumbers will get things flowing again.
Our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything right then and there. In the rare case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily solve the issue to minimise further damage and get back with what is needed as soon as possible.
Can I unclog the drain myself?
If you have a plunger handy 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 damage the drain pipes.
Do not let obstructed drains ruin your day. Call our on call Russell Lea emergency plumbing team now!
It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a refreshing shower? Time to put the kids into the bath? Have a pile of dishes to deal with? It is never convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden realise that the water is cold.
When the hot water isn’t up to standard, you want it to be repaired quickly. From blown elements, to faulty thermostats, to leaking cylinders, we have seen everything and can rapidly diagnose the issue and get it fixed.
Hot water leaks can swiftly put your electricity bill through the roof. Leaks hidden in the back of the hot water cupboard can create significant damage to the cabinetry. If you don’t get it fixed quickly, it can become more costly by the hour.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, ring our Russell Lea urgent plumbers right away. We will get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our professional plumbers can help in picking the best options for your budget, home size and your area. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, we can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.
The pipes in your home are a largely concealed but indispensible part of everyday activities. Large or little, in the earth, in the wall or the ceiling, they carry fresh water to your home and take the used stuff away.
Ususally you do not even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly we’re standing in a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it sorted out asap, to minimise damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.
Our urgent plumbers are ready to be on the scene right away, so contact us as soon as you locate a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can minimise further flooding by turning the water to the home off at the mains tap if required.
Why did the pipe start leaking?
Pipes can fail and begin to leak for a range of reasons. If you reside in an older home, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have iced up and cracked. In a recently built residence, there may be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Subterranean joins could have been invaded by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.
Once the same day plumber arrives, they can identify the problems and fix them in a prompt and professional manner.
Do you own a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply defective?
Over the years, we’ve found that even a dripping faucet can be a significant aggravation. Something that can go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, ruining your sleep.
It is not just aggravating drips though. Leaks may push 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 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 carry everything they need on hand to fix your leak. The team carry a small selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if required.
From urgent plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too large or little for our Russell Lea plumbers. Not only can we sort out the leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of additional plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
If it is not bad enough to warrant fixing right this moment, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge beneath it to diminish the racket. Alternatively knot a piece of twine around the faucet aerator long enough to rest on the base of the basin, so that the drip slides down instead of falling.
