What do I do when a plumbing emergency hits?
What should you do when you locate a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to switch off the power at the power box. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.
If water is still leaking, turn off the water at the nearest access point and then at the mains tap outside. If you cannot find the main shutoff valve or a tap to the fixture, then turn on the cold taps inside and out to depressurise the pipework and reduce the leak.
Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.
While waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant items close to the leak, and mop up any water or position a container to catch the drips. If you turned the mains water off, switch off the hot water heating as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
The water main shutoff valve is located on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the mains off can protect your property from further leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.
The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet.
We understand a clogged pipe can be a serious problem. Whether it is the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap outside your home, a blocked drain is seldom a happy circumstance. That is why our crew of 24 hour plumbers are ready to solve your plumbing emergency.
Blocked drains can cause damage to your dwelling, or create a health hazard very rapidly. Sometimes, you may be able to clear the issue yourself with a plunger. If that is not possible though, you need a plumber there quickly to clear the blockage so life can get back to normal.
Whether it’s the ensuite sink that will not clear, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage flowing down the hall or across the yard, our after hours Highgate plumbers will efficiently identify the issue and resolve it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that requires extra equipment or parts, we can put an interim solution in place to tide you over until the final repairs are finished.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it's a good idea to try to unblock a clog yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stand out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they rarely work well and can cause damage to the drains.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our on call Highgate emergency plumbers right away!

Leaks in your hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for around thiry percent of your household’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your wallet very quickly.
When you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Highgate 24 hour plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water working again quickly.

How did the pipe fail?
There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you live in a extremely cold region, the pipes might have iced up and split. They may simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes may not have been properly installed in the first place. Tree roots can invade subterranean joins.
When they are at your home, our after hours plumber will locate the problem and rapidly repair the leak or burst pipe. They can also assess the rest of the pipework if advised to check for other issues.
Do you have a tap that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cabinets, or is simply defective?
A lot of customers over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to have a dripping or broken tap. You might not even notice the drip during the daytime, but at night when it is reverberating around the house like a herd of stampeeding wildebeest, all of a sudden it’s a sigificant issue.

Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
If it’s not aggravating enough to be worth repairing right now, you can try putting a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to dampen the noise. Or knot a piece of string around the faucet aerator sufficient to touch the bottom of the basin, so that the drips slide down instead of falling.
