On Call Plumbers - FAQ

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

Safety first! Electricity and water do not mix well, so switch the electricity off at the switchboard if needed first.

If water is leaking, turn the water off at the nearest access point or at the mains tap outside. If you can’t find the water main valve or a tap to the appliance, then turn on all the cold faucets inside and out to depressurise the system and reduce the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a ring, any time of the day or night. They’ll be there promptly to solve the issue.

While waiting for the plumber to arrive, clear away any important things from the area, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the heating for the hot water as well.

Help, I do not know where the main water shutoff valve is!

The primary shutoff valve is found on the boundary near the road, typically under a blue or black cover. You may know it as the water toby, stopcock or isolated valve. Turning the mains off can save your house from more leaks or damage to the hot water cylinder.

The toilet has its own tap alongside the toilet bowl.

I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
