Urgent Plumber: FAQ

I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing emergency arises? The very first thing is to ensure it's safe, and hopefully not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not combine safely, so if you need to, turn the mains switch off at the power panel.

If water is still leaking, turn the water off at the nearest service valve and then at the mains valve outside. If you can’t find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the household pipework and reduce the leak.

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

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start cleaning up any water, put a container to catch drips, and remove significant items from the affected area. If the property water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

Help, I don�t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

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

It’s also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

Our Richmond emergency plumbers understand that a blocked pipe can be a serious health risk that needs fixing immediately. That’s why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

Clogged pipes can cause damage to your abode, or create a health hazard very quickly. In some cases, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that isn’t possible though, you need a professional there quickly to clear the clog so life can get back to normal.

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t empty, or your stormwater drain is flooding the yard, we’ll arrive at your home rapidly to solve the problem. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

In the rare case that we can not get the obstruction completely removed or more comprehensive repairs are required, our team will find a temporary solution to keep you going until our plumbers return.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?

If you have a plunger you can attempt to clear the clog in your sink, shower or toilet. If it won’t plunge away, please do not use chemicals as they rarely get the job done properly and the chemicals can damage your drain pipes.

Do not let blocked pipes ruin your day. Ring our emergency Richmond emergency plumbing team now!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Issues

It’s been a hard day at work and badly want a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Have a pile of dishes to finish up? It’s rarely convenient to turn on the hot tap 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 sorted quickly. 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 always overflowing, you want it repaired fast so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and can cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around 30% of your home’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very swiftly.

If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Richmond urgent plumbers as soon as you can. We will get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your old hot water cylinder isn’t able to be fixed, our professional team can assist in identifying the best options for your budget, household needs and your locality. If the rest of the system is also past it’s use by, our plumbers can schedule improvements so you will soon be enjoying life again.

Burst Pipes Sorted Quick

Big or little, hidden in the earth or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your home are a hidden but key part of your everyday activities. They carry fresh water to your abode, and transfer used water and sewage away.

Most of the time we never even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you’re looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved without delay, to minimise damage to your home, furnishings and well-being.

Our urgent plumbers are ready to be there right away, so ring us as soon as you find a burst pipe or leak of any sort. You can cut back further flooding by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe start leaking?

Pipes can break down and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you reside in an older house, they may simply be aged and worn out. If you live somewhere very cold, they might have frozen and burst. In a newer home, there could be a problem with how the pipes were installed. Underground pipes could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Once they arrive, our emergency plumber will diagnose the problem and quickly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of your pipes if required to check for other issues.

From Washers to Full Tap Replacements

Taps Dripping Or Leaking?

Do you own a busted tap? One that drips in the night, leaks or perhaps is doing an impression of a fountain?

A lot of clients over the years have mentioned how annoying it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even hear the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is echoing around your home like someone practicing the drums, suddenly it is a major problem.

Not only is the sound vexing, but a dripping or leaking faucet can raise the bills into orbit, especially if it’s the hot water. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your house, call our team now.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they might need in the vans to remedy that leak. The team carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you need a new one, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From urgent plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too large or minor for our Richmond plumbers. Not only can we repair leaking taps, we also offer a broad range of other plumbing services.

The drips are keeping me awake, how can I temporarily stop them to get some sleep?

If it’s not aggravating enough to warrant fixing right now, you can try putting a folded cloth or sponge beneath it to minimise the racket. Alternatively knot some twine around the faucet spout sufficient to rest on the base of the sink, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
