FAQ Emergency Plumbers

What do I do when a plumbing catastrophe occurrs?

Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so turn the power off at the power box if needed first.

A lot of appliances and fixtures have service valves that can be turned off. For example, the toilet will have an isolating tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that does not stop the leak, then turn off the mains isolating tap to stop all water to the house.

Once that’s sorted, give our plumber a ring, whatever the day or time is. We will be there promptly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our emergency plumber, clear away any significant things, wipe up any water, and place a container to catch drips. You should also turn off the hot water heating if the main water is turned off.

Help, I don’t know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The water main shutoff valve is generally found on the boundary close to the road, normally under a blue or black plastic cover. You may know it as a toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Shutting the water off can save your property from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.

Blocked Drains Hassles

We know a blocked pipe can be a serious emergency. Whether it is the kitchen sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged pipe is never a good thing. That is why our team of emergency plumbers are waiting to resolve your plumbing emergency.

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

Whether it is the laundry sink that will not drain, or a blockage in the shower, or worst of all, sewage flowing down the hall or across your garden, our on call Karragullen plumbers will efficiently identify the obstruction and unclog it so that life can get back to normal.

All our vans are well equipped, so we can normally fix everything on the spot. In the unlikely case that we can’t, we’ll temporarily resolve the complication to prevent further damage and get back with what is required as soon as possible.

Can I unclog the drain myself?

If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to clear the blockage yourself. We suggest a plunger that has a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not recommended as they rarely do a good job and can cause damage to your drains.

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

Hot Water System Not Working

It’s been a hard day at work and desperately require a toasty warm shower? Time to put the children into the bath? Got a few dishes to finish off? It’s seldom convenient to turn on the hot tap and all of a sudden discover that the water is tepid.

When your hot water isn’t giving you that warm feeling, you need it remedied quickly. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there is a leak, or the tank is always overflowing, you want it fixed fast so your life can get back to normal.

Leaks in the hot water system can cost a vast amount, and may cause major damage to your property. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating can account for around 30% of the average household’s power bill, so a leak can cause serious harm to your pocket very quickly.

If you realise the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, ring our Karragullen emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the 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 need a new hot water cylinder, our plumbers can assist in picking the best solution for your budget, requirements and area. If the whole hot water system requires upgrading, our plumbers can arrange to do that in a opportune fashion as well.

Burst Pipes Sorted Fast

From the little fresh water pipes in your floor, walls and ceilings, to the big sewage pipes underground, the majority of the pipes in your home are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. We never even think of them until there is a problem.

As soon as you find a problem though, it’s the most important thing on your mind. A leak or burst pipe is serious stuff, and you want it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your residence, your possessions and even your well-being.

The moment a leak is discovered, give us a ring, and our emergency plumbers will be on their way rapidly. We are waiting to answer night or day. Before they arrive, it may be a wise idea to turn off the main water valve to reduce yet more leaking.

How did the pipe fail?

Pipes can deteriorate and begin to leak for a variety of reasons. If you live in an older residence, they may simply be aged and past their use-by. If you live somewhere very cold, the pipework may have iced up and burst. In a newer home, there could be a problem with how they were installed. Subterranean junctions could have been grown into by tree roots trying to get to water and nutrients.

Our 24 hour plumbers can diagnose and repair your burst pipes or leaks expeitiously and precisely.

Tap Leaks Fixed

Do you live with a faucet that won’t turn on or off, drips, leaks into the cupboards, or is simply busted?

We have seen a range of tap problems over the years, and know that even a little drip can sound like a woodpecker at night when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a trivial irritant, can suddenly become a dire plumbing emergency.

Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking faucet can escalate the bills through the roof, especially if it’s the hot tap. Do not waste money and potentially cause expensive damage to your home, call us now.

Whether you want an entire new faucet, or simply a washer that needs replacing, our professional urgent plumbers will rapidly diagnose the issue and fix it. We even carry a small choice of taps and faucets in their van for you to select from, or can put in a temporary one if required.

From large to small, our Karragullen emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a broad selection of emergency and general plumbing services.

How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some sleep?

Find a length of string of some kind, and knot it onto the tap spout so that it dangles down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and flow off quietly.
