What do I do when a plumbing calamity hits?
What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere near electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the electricity at the power box. Then, try to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest isolating valve and then at the mains tap outside. If you can’t locate the water main shutoff valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the pipework and minimise the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any time of the day or night. We’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.
In the meantime, start cleaning up any water, place a bucket to catch drips, and remove significant things from the affected area. If the mains water is turned off, also switch off the heating for the hot water.
Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!
You may know it as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is generally positioned on the property perimeter near the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We understand a obstructed pipe can be a major emergency. Whether it’s the bathroom sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a clogged drain is never a happy circumstance. That is why our team of 24 hour plumbers are ready to deal with your plumbing emergency.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can fix it by yourself with a plunger and some know-how. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the pipes unclogged.
Whether it’s the kitchen sink that will not drain, or a clog in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across the garden, our after hours Ferndale plumbers will efficiently locate the problem and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we require available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are concluded.
Can I unblock the drain myself?
We recommend trying to clear simple obstructions using a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the blockage, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely work well, and may cause more damage to the pipes.
Don’t let a clogged pipe get you down. Call us and our emergency plumber will have everything flowing smoothly in no time.
Had a hard day at work and badly need a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the tub? Got a pile of dishes to deal with? It is rarely opportune to turn on the hot tap and suddenly discover that the water is barely warm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it sorted promptly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is barely warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you need it remedied asap so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause serious damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause major harm to your pocket very swiftly.
When you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in your hot water system, call our Ferndale 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get your hot water flowing again quickly. If there is 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 you do need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can help pick the best option for your budget, requirements and area. If your whole hot water system needs improvements, we can schedule to do those repairs in a opportune manner as well.
From the small clean water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes in the garden, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You don’t even remember them until there is an issue.
Most of the time you do not even think about them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden we are looking at a damp patch, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be fixed without delay, to minimise damage to your house, belongings and health.
As soon as a leak is discovered, give our team a ring, and our 24 hour plumbers will be on the road rapidly. We’re waiting to answer 24/7. Before they arrive, it is probably a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to the home to minimise further leaking.
How did my pipe fail?
Pipes and taps can break down for many reasons. The pipes might simply be past their prime and worn out. Or they may have frozen in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots might have grown into underground seals. Or there might be a problem with how they were installed to begin with.
When they arrive, our same day plumber will identify the issue and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of your pipework if advised to look for other issues.
Do you own a troublesome faucet? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a fountain?
Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious vexation. Something that might go unnoticed in the brouhaha of every day life suddenly sounds like elephants tap dancing in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.
It is not just annoying drips though. Leaks may run 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 small 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 need on hand to halt your leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to choose from if you require a new one, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From 24 hour plumbing to non-urgent maintenance, there is no job too extensive or little for our Ferndale plumbers. Not only can we sort out your leaking taps, we also provide a broad range of additional plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some sleep?
Normally, a dripping tap is caused by a dilapidated or faulty washer, seal or ceramic cartridge. Depending on the type of faucet, we can usually replace worn out parts on the spot for a very modest outlay.
