Emergency Plumber FAQ

I've got a plumbing emergency, what should I do?

What do you do when a plumbing disaster hits? The very first thing is to make sure it's safe, and not getting even worse. Electricity and water do not play well together safely, so if needed turn the power off at the switchboard.

If there is water still leaking, turn off the water to the appliance or fixture if you can, or go immediately to the main shutoff valve for your home. If you are unable to find the main valve to turn off, then you may want to try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your residence to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once that is sorted, give our plumber a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be there promptly to get things sorted.

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

I do not know where the main water tap is!

The water main shutoff valve is positioned on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as a water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the water off can protect your residence from increasing leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.

Blocked Drains Issues

When your drains are overflowing, you want help quickly. Our emergency Golden Bay plumbers understand how frustrating and damaging clogged pipes can be, and we are ready to get them cleared again.

A obstructed drain is a major predicament, especially if it involves sewage. If you are lucky, you can unblock it with a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something we ever wish to see, or smell!

Whether your toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll be at your home quickly to resolve the issue. Our knowledgeable plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and clear away the mess.

In the rare instance that our plumbers can’t get the blockage completely removed or more extensive repairs are needed, we will find a temporary solution to tide you over until we return.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it is a good idea to try to unblock the clog yourself. We recommend using a plunger with a long handle, particularly 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 your drains.

Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!

Hot Water Problems

You tend to don’t think about how frequently you rely on easy fast hot water until it is not there anymore. Just finished in the garden and really need a shower? Time to deal with a few dishes? The last thing you need is to turn on the tap and find it’s barely warm.

When your hot water has fallen short, give our plumbers a call. Our plumbers will be there quickly to identify the problem and get it fixed. From heating elements to faulty thermostats to leaking cylinders, our team can sort them out and get you back to normal life.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a large amount, and can cause major damage to your home. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average household’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your wallet very rapidly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, ring our Golden Bay emergency plumbers as soon as you can. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a large amount of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If the cylinder is not repairable, our reliable team can help pick the best option for your household requirements, budget and location. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can schedule upgrades at a time that suits you as well.

Burst Pipes Fixed In No Time

Large or small, buried in the earth or in the floor, walls or roof, the various pipes in your house are a concealed but important part of daily life. They bring clean water to your home, and take used water and sewage away.

Ususally you don’t even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and all of a sudden you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it resolved without delay, to minimise damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.

Our emergency plumbers are ready to be there quickly, so ring us as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any type. You can minimise further leaks by turning the water off at the mains tap if required.

How did my pipe start leaking?

There are varying possible reasons why pipes and taps may fail. If you live in a very cold climate, they may have iced up and burst. They might simply be old and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been properly installed to begin with. Tree roots may grow into underground seals.

When our on call plumber is present, they will identify the problems and fix them in a rapid and professional manner.

Tapware Leaks Sorted

Do you have a problem tap? One that drips all night, leaks or maybe is doing a geyser impression?

Over the years, we’ve learned that even a dripping tap can be a serious annoyance. Something that may go unheard in the hubbub of daily life without warning sounds like someone practicing the drums in the middle of the night, destroying your shuteye.

As well as keeping the everyone awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it is the hot water. Don’t let the bills rise even more, or maybe even cause damage to your house, contact our same day plumber straight away.

From replacement washers to entirely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers carry everything they might need in the vans to stop your leak. We carry a modest selection of basin and sink faucets to choose from if you require a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.

As well as serving Golden Bay with emergency plumbing of all types, our team are available for non-urgent maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too big or small.

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

If it is not annoying enough to need repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to diminish the noise. Or knot a length of twine around the tap aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drip runs down instead of falling.
