What do I do when a plumbing disaster strikes?
Safety first! Electricity and water do not play nice together, so switch the power off at the breaker box if needed first.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have isolating valves that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a tap below or beside the cistern. If you cannot locate a tap, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains shutoff valve to cut off all the water to the house.
Once you have stopped the leak from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, at any hour of the day or night. We will be there quickly to resolve the issue.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any significant possessions close to the leak, and wipe up any water or place a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, also switch off the hot water heating as well.
I don’t know where the main water tap is!
You may know it as the stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is normally found on the property perimeter close to the road, usually under a blue or black plastic cover.
The toilet has its own tap behind the toilet bowl.
When your pipes are overflowing, you want assistance straight away. Our on call Herne Hill plumbers know how disheartening and damaging obstructed drains can be, and they are ready to get them unobstructed again.
Blocked pipes can be a serious health hazard, especially if sewage is involved. If you’re lucky you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some know-how. If you don’t have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive rapidly to get the drains unclogged.
Whether your toilet is overflowing, your sink won’t drain, or the stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we will be at your home quickly to solve the issue. Our experienced plumbers will get the water running where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.
In the rare instance that our plumbers can not get the obstruction completely cleared or more comprehensive repairs are needed, our team will find an interim solution to keep you going until we return.
Can I use a chemical drain cleaner?
If you have a plunger, it is worth trying to clear a blockage yourself. We recommend a plunger with a long handle, particularly for the toilet, so you can stand back out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to your drains.
Don’t let a blocked drain get you down. Call us now!
We tend to take our hot water for granted, until it is not functioning properly. Time to put muddy kids in the bath? Deperately want a good soak to defrost after a chilly day? Have some of dishes to deal with? It is a pain to have a proper clean when the water is not hot.
When the hot water is not up to temperature, you need it remedied as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen everything and can rapidly identify the problem and get it fixed.
Leaks in your 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 often accounts for around thiry percent of the usual home’s electricity bill, so a leak can cause serious damage to your pocket very quickly.
If you discover the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our Herne Hill on call plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water working again promptly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If the cylinder isn’t repairable, our helpful plumbers can assist in picking the best option for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is past it’s use by date and worn out, our plumbers can schedule repairs at a time that works for you as well.
From the little clean water pipes in your floor, walls and roof, to the big sewage pipes in the ground, most of the pipes in your home are hidden away out of sight and out of mind. We never even remember them until there is an issue.
Normally we do not even think of them. Not until something goes wrong, and suddenly we are standing in a pool of water, or worse yet, sewage. And now it urgently needs to be sorted out as soon as possible, to prevent damage to your residence, furnishings and well-being.
The moment a leak is found, give our team a ring, and our on call plumbers will be on the road quickly. Our team are ready to answer any time. Before they get there, it is probably a good idea to turn off the main water valve to the house to reduce further damage.
Why did the pipe burst?
Pipes and taps can break down for a range of reasons. The pipes may simply be past their prime and dilapidated. Or they could have iced up in extremely frigid weather and cracked. Tree roots may have grown into underground joints. Or there could be an issue with how they were set up in the first place.
When our urgent plumber is present, they will isolate the issues and fix them in a expeitious and expert manner.
Do you own a troublesome faucet? A faucet that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing a fountain impression?
Over the years, we have found that even a dripping tap can be a serious aggravation. Something that can go unnoticed in the hubbub of every day life suddenly sounds like someone playing the bongos in the middle of the night, destroying your deams.
Not only can it keep the household awake, a leaking tap can send your power bill though the roof as well, especially if it’s hot water. Don’t let the bills rise further, or possibly cause damage to your residence, ring our same day plumber right away.
Whether you simply want a washer, or a whole replacement tap, our same day plumbers have the parts that you need. All our vans are well equipped with parts and carry a modest selection of new taps and faucets to select from if desired. If we don’t have the tap you require, our plumber can put in an interim faucet until we find what you want.
From on call plumbing to every day maintenance, there is no job too big or little for our Herne Hill plumbers. Not only can we sort out leaking taps, we also offer a broad selection of other plumbing services.
Can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?
Find a length of string of some type, and knot it around the tap spout so that it hangs down to the bottom of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
